Steve A Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Hello, I am an experienced bass teacher living and working in Birmingham and have been a professional touring and recording musician for the last ten years. I concentrate on teaching the fundamentals of music and the essentials of bass playing. You don't need fancy techniques in order to play well and get good gigs... you need a solid foundation: Good time feel, a developed sense of musical hearing, understanding of your options which will enable you to make good choices regarding notes, rhythms and phrasing (which comes from analysis of musical styles and the music of other bass players and other instrumentalists). Understanding the basics of harmony is actually not as hard as you might think. The hard part is committing to a routine of personal practise outside the music lesson to get the concepts in your mind and under your fingers. Whether you are a beginner or have been playing for a number of years, I can help you to develop as a player. My experience as a working musician means I understand what is required on the gig, beyond the mechanics of notes and technique. I currently teach all age groups, from children of 8 years old to adults. I offer regular weekly lessons or a less regular schedule depending on your commitments. I am based in the Bearwood area of Birmingham (B67 5BG). Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your requirements.
