Hi pete, my name`s Irfan I took lessons from you about 15 years ago saw you again breifly while I was working at Scheerers music in Leeds, living in Manchester now, I`m still playing and showing off my virtuosity....... well virtuosity is what I call it, everybody else have other words for it.

[quote name='pbass' post='253753' date='Aug 3 2008, 02:52 PM']First a bit of background. I've been playing for 35 years, I started as a guitarist and switched to bass in my early twenties. I've been teaching for twenty three years. I did a degree in music back in the eighties and later qualified as a secondary school teacher (something I didn't pursue). I've played just about every style of music, done overseas tours, reading work in theatre bands. I'm pretty well known locally as someone who can step in at very short notice with non reading bands. I've taught hundreds of students over the years and currently teach three teachers of bass and guitar. I cover all the main boards for exams if that's your thing. I've taught at Bradford college, Huddersfield college and at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford where I filled in on two separate occasions for a bassist colleague, Paul Geary who is currently with Nik Kershaw. These days, I teach from home which is in Keighley, West Yorkshire. I have a very client centred approach to learning so lessons are devised around the student and what they need. If you are within shouting distance of Keighley and would like to take lessons then please get in touch either via email or by phoning 01535 672304. P.S. If there are any bass players out there that I've taught over the years reading this, It'd be nice to know how you are doing. Leave a message to say hi. Pete[/quote]
