Sean (Tutor)

 BassGuitar (teacher, expert)

 Doublebass (teacher, expert)

In the lessons we can look at anything from technical exercises, improvisation to theory, aural skills, transcri ption, grooving, sight reading or grade exams.
We can look at jazz standard charts, popular bass lines, walking bass, etc. learned from notation or ear.

The lessons will be focused on becoming a useful and musical player who has a strong sense of time and can apply skills to a variety of situations. I will also advise on how to maintain equipment and give advice about purchases of new instruments, amplifiers or accessories. I guarantee that in each lesson you have with me you will make an advance in your playing.

I am a professionally practicing bass player rather than a guitarist who plays bass. It is always better that you get a specialized bass teacher who knows the subtleties of the instrument.

Availability: I am a full time musician and teacher. I will therefore likely be able to fit you in at a time that suits you.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have been teaching regularly since 2009 on a private basis. I also have experience teaching in an A-Level college. My history of professional performance allows me to include much real world relevance to my lessons.

A-Levels in Music and Popular Music from Richard Huish College in Taunton, Somerset.
