Teaching Programmes:

Course content is structured in two ways:

• Firstly around the learner's interests and aspirations;
• Secondly around what the tutor views as essential knowledge for a student to be a competent player.

The lesson direction is normally shaped equally by learner needs and fundamental lesson content. Some students prefer the tutor to steer the lessons to raise their level of playing. This can aide students wishing to pursue further study at the FE or HE level.

Other benefits include: improved technique, raised live performance confidence, or simply provide some fun for players wanting to improve their bass playing by expanding their playing knowledge and technique.
