Saxophone Lessons Manchester
Playing for over 16 years and teaching for 10 years, building the musicianship of future Saxophone students is incredibly important to me. Whist studying my BMus, I was able to build my skill set on the instrument to a level ready for a career in music.
From playing with studio artists, recording and touring, my Sax playing has provided me with a whole host of opportunities. SAX Bass is a unique instrument that rides the lines between rhythm and harmony, so understanding the role of the instrument and having the technique to execute that is essential in a player's progress as a proficient bassist. Studying techniques and the role of the bass guitar in music is a primary focus of my lessons as I believe it is this understanding that set's the best players apart.

Why Learn The Bass Guitar?
Learning the bass guitar can offer a range of benefits, including:
​
1. Enhancing your musical skills: Learning bass guitar can improve your overall musicianship and help you understand the fundamentals of music theory, harmony, and rhythm.
2. Providing a foundation for playing with others: The bass guitar is an essential component of most bands and ensembles, so learning the bass can help you collaborate with other musicians and develop your skills in a group setting.
3. Developing your sense of rhythm and timing: The bass guitar's role is to hold down the rhythm and groove of a song, so playing bass can help you improve your timing and develop a stronger sense of rhythm.
​
Overall, learning bass guitar can be a fun and rewarding experience for anyone interested in music, whether as a hobby or a career.
