Playing for over 16 years and teaching for 10 years, building the musicianship of future bass students is incredibly important to me. Through my time studying my BMus and MMus at the RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music) I was able to refine my skill set on the instrument to a professional level ready for a career in music.
From playing with studio artists, recording, touring and even playing at the 2022 World Cup, my bass playing has provided me with a whole host of opportunities. 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.
4. Boosting your creativity: Playing bass guitar can help you tap into your creativity and explore new sounds and musical ideas. It can also inspire you to write your own basslines and contribute to the songwriting process.
5. Providing a unique sound: The bass guitar's deep, rich tone can add a unique texture to a song and create a powerful foundation for the rest of the music.
​
Overall, learning bass guitar can be a fun and rewarding experience for anyone interested in music, whether as a hobby or a career.
