I Teach privately Bass guitar (from beginner to advanced ) , Cubase (from beginner to advanced) , Keyboards/piano(beginners) and Guitar (beginners)at a Fully professional and soundproofed facilities available with a good quality PA system for working with songs, playalongs, clicks and also ability to record and listen back to your playing.

While I was performing regularly on festivals,venues,clubs I spent a lot of time to study teaching programs from the Musicians Institute of LA , Berklee College of Music, Jamey Aebersold ,Mel Bay and many others.

Ten years ago I decided to undertake The Certificate on music Studies at Goldsmith University and passed successfully.

My teaching program is a blend of the best teaching material out there for contemporary music combined with my personal experience in the real world of music outside the classroom.

My approach is CREATIVE and it will help you to develop your musical qualities that you have within yourself.

I can help you to prepare for the preliminary and graded examinations on bass guitar up to grade 8.

The LCM examinations count onto the NQF(National Qualifications Framework) which means that candidates applying to UK universities through the UCAS system can increase their points tariff if they have been awarded a Pass or higher at Grades 6-8 in accredited subjects.

But If you only want to learn specific topics or just learn some songs feel free to contact me.

I believe to be a patient and enthusiastic Tutor and my best advice for anyone who is beginning to play an instrument is to practice regularly and particularly focus on repetition .

I believe anybody can achieve results if they are willing to put enough effort into it.

The joy of music is inside of all of us and it must be shared!!
