Bass Guitar Tutoring to help you develop your playing

I have over 25 years of experience playing the bass guitar having taught myself to play by ear from a very early age. I also learnt to play piano whilst young which will enable me to be able to teach you chords, scales, progressions and when it comes to song genres, I'll be able to help you to groove/jam along to different riffs ones such as reggae, gospel, soul, r n b, etc.

So whether you're a beginner who wants to learn the bass guitar from scratch or you already know how to play, but feel that you want to develop your playing to a higher standard... then I'd be happy to help you out

It will be a relaxed and fun environment that I will look to create, so there'll be no need for you to worry about feeling tense or under pressure.

Extra information

It would be preferable if you had your own bass guitar, but it's not essential

Experience / Qualifications

I started off playing at my local church(where I still attend to this day and am currently Music Director there) for many years at various services and general conventions, but it wasn't until 2005 that I broke onto the gospel scene as a more accomplished and established bassist.

Since then I've supported and worked with gospel artists such as Tracey Campbell, Natalie Phillips, Brenda Emmanuel, Michelle John, Adelaide Mackenzie, Christina Matovu, Boma Diri, The McGhie Family, Sharon Wilson, Michelle, Carren Richards, Fiona Yorke, Many Rivers choir, Peter Francis & The Jabez Family, Pure Wisdom, The Reapers Choir, The Cokers and many more.

I played on an album called NoBoundariesNoBordersNoLimits by gospel artist Althea Wray back in 2003. In March 2008 I was part of a group called Sandal Street that won the Fairtrade song competition put on by Lewisham Council. Sandal Street later on in July 2008 performed a set at the Lewisham People's Day Festival as their prize for winning, as well as getting to record their winning song at Creekside Studios in SouthEast London. More recently in 2014, I played on the track 'Lord Over Everything of gospel artist Fiona Yorke's debut EP 'Live To Worship'.

I've had the privilege of taking my music to various parts of the UK (Birmingham, Derby, Reading, Swindon to name but a few) as well as internationally to places such as America, India and Barbados.

I'm a regular member of house bands at various gospel events.

I'm the bassist and also the manager of a band called A.G.M. (Anointed Gospel Musicians), I also manage a different band of three young musicians. I've had the privilege of appearing with A.G.M. at the Isle of Wight Festival, Margate Soul Weekender and events such as Premier Gospel Week, Time to Worship, Zoe Nites and Sunday Gospel Brunch at London's famous 606 Jazz Club.

Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
