About Cian
- What kind of experience do you have?
As a performer I have twenty years experience of playing bass in a wide range of situations including live, studio, and touring. I have performed on recordings for the BBC and Channel 4 (UK), and have performed live with musicians such as Bernie Shaw (Uriah Heap) and Rick Astley.
As a teacher I have over ten years experience teaching guitar, bass, ukulele, and banjo. I have thought students of all ages and abilities including preparing students for graded exams. I was also an Assessor for one of the largest guitar schools in Europe. This involved both auditioning prospective students and marking and advising students in Live Performance Workshops.

Yes

Current students include young beginners, teens who want to be in a band, aspiring songwriters, seasoned veterans who are stuck in a rut, a school headmaster, and a retiree who has always wanted to play banjolele!

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I've been having regular ukulele lessons with Cian since September 2014.
I started as a complete beginner not able to play at all. Now in February 2015 I'm able to play a variety of chords, different strumming patterns and am starting to learn music theory. Cian's teaching allows me to progress at my own speed and increase's my confidence with the ukulele.
I would happily recommend Cian as a music teacher.I first came to Cian approximately 4 months ago with very little knowledge
in bass playing. Since then I have made huge strides in both playing
technique and musical knowledge. My initial vision was to work my way
through rock school grades, and whilst I am still doing that, Cian has
vastly broadened my outlook. Bass playing has become a huge amount of fun as a result, and I highly recommend Cian to anyone who wants to improve their bass playing.View more recommendations
