Grade 8 (distinction) Bass Guitar (2004)
What kind of experience do you have?: I currently teach bass guitar and double bass at a secondary school. This post has given me valuable experience in teaching children of different ages and abilities. I have worked as an assistant tutor on the Trinity Jazz Summer School (http://www.trinitysummerschool.co.uk) for two years, which has enabled me to gain experience in teaching all ages of musicians.

As a performer I have performed at such prestigious venues as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, The Royal Festival Hall, SHUNT, The Vortex Jazz Club, and Indig02. I have also appeared on television, performing at the 02 arena.

Tell me about some of your current students.: My current students range from the age of 12 to 16. Some of my students have been playing for less than a year, and some are preparing for their grade 8 exam. Even though I teach a broad ability range, all my students enjoy varied lessons based around playing songs, rather than being limited to exercises. This makes learning music more enjoyable.
Do you have a personal message for students?: My main goal is to enthuse my pupils, and enable them to progress down the musical path of their choice, in an organised and fun manner.
