About Me

I am an electric bass guitarist, and upright bass player. I have been playing the electric bass for 20 years, and the double bass for over 10 years. I graduated from the ANU School of Music in 2011 with an Honours Degree in Jazz Performance. I enjoy listening to and playing jazz, rock, blues, funk and some styles of metal. I enjoy playing and teaching a variety of music genres from jazz to funk; and blues to metal.

Lesson Topics

In my lessons, students learn the fundamentals of bass playing such as tone, sound production, technique, economy of movement and endurance. I also stress the importance of ear training, sight-reading, scales, reading and recognizing chord symbols, fretboard memorization and the basics of music theory. These skills are necessary to prepare the student to tackle their favourite bass lines, play along with recordings and prepare them for live performance situations.

Book a Lesson

Lessons are conducted from my place in Greenway. The student only needs to bring their instrument and any lesson books they may be working through. An amp, lead and tuner are provided.

Lesson Price: $60/hour or $40/half hour
