Build Confidence and Become the Heartbeat of the Rhythm
Learning bass guitar as a beginner is more than memorising notes. It is about discovering how the instrument works with the rhythm, how each note sits with the drums, and how even simple bass lines can carry so much musical weight.
Once you get the basics down, the bass becomes incredibly satisfying. You start locking in with the beat, feeling the pulse of a song, and understanding how your playing supports everything else happening around you.

Have been learning bass with Jonny for couple of weeks and have been having a blast during my lessons. I've been learning theory, technique and even jamming to some drum beats already. Fantastic teacher, highly recommend!

Perry is Amazing, I highly recommend him to any one of any age or ability. Not only does he know his stuff but he builds off of your interests and incorporates it into your lessons. He is also one of the most encouraging teachers of a subject I have ever come across (and I’m 5 years into my Masters so I have had a lot of teachers!)

Peter N
Pete is hugely knowledgeable. friendly and patient; everything I need as a beginner to the bass guitar. He's introduced me to fun riffs which are appropriate to my ability but challenging. I'm keen to learn correct technique and having asked me at the very start what I wanted to get out of the lessons, Pete is patiently trying to help me with his keen eye for doing things properly! I'm certain he'd be a good tutor for any standard of bassist and I'd whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone. I'm very happy to continue having regular lessons with him and I wouldn't be a repeat client if I didn't have total confidence in him ?
