Bass Tutor NW London: A Recommendation

[Grand Puba]

After completing the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17892"]So how did you learn to play?[/url] poll, I decided to add the details of the excellent tutor I have been seeing.

I will let his words tell the story...

[quote][b]THE TEACHING:[/b]
I have very broad experience and interests, and so am able to teach a wide range of styles – classical, jazz, pop, rock and folk. You can go through an existent course book, but many people prefer a course which is based on pieces which they choose.

[b]EXAMINATIONS:[/b]
You do not have to take exams - I always advise people to play what they like playing. But as an experienced Examiner, I can prepare you well, if you wish or need to take an exam.

[b]WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING ?:[/b]
You can bring your own instrument or one will be provided. This is also true of amplification. I provide all music, unless I advise you otherwise (this can happen when the cost of a book or piece of music is high).

[b]RESOURCES:[/b]
I have all the resources here – guitars, music, CD player, recording gear. I can help you create an arrangement and make your own CD – impress your friends ! You do not have to bring an instrument, if this is inconvenient.

[b]WHERE:[/b]
In my studio at my home in Camden Town (10 minutes walk from the Tube).
