I began teaching privately in my last year on University and have been gaining students ever since. The idea is to make it a large part of my career as I`ve found it to be equally as rewarding if not more so to performing.

My approach is to focus on what the student wants and needs to know, regardless of how serious they pursue a career in music. Once the fundamentals are taken care of, then the focal point can be on what the student desires to learn. I cover harmony and theory, technique, arranging, composition, history, and anything else I happen to know that will benefit the improvement of my students.

Experience: Since the age of 12 I`ve been a student of music, and over the years have gained invaluable experience playing with artists, bands and even my own work that spans across the majority of musical genres. I graduated with a BA (hons) Degree in Contemporary Popular Music from ACM in Guildford where I completed a 4 year collage degree majoring in electric bass. Other than bass I also play double bass, guitar, keys, and own a small home studio where I record my own work and get students involved in what studio situations are like. I gig regularly in function and original projects as well as having opportunities to perform regularly in theatres for numerous show`s around london, surrey and hampshire. Over the years of trying to discover my strongest writing style its brought me to focus mainly within jazz and jazz/funk. Regardless of this I find myself a strong player in the majority of musical genres, writing also in rock/metal/pop inspired bands that I regularly perform in.
