I am a past student of the Jazz School in Christchurch, New Zealand, graduating with a Bachelor of Music through the University of Canterbury. After finishing my studies I took up a busy lifestyle of regular gigs with numerous bands around Christchurch and New Zealand, along with teaching electric bass to many students. Nowadays I am based Melbourne and am seeking new students!
I make my lessons as relaxed and as fun as possible - Taking account of the fact that a great relationship between teacher and student is of fundamental importance to the learning process. I aim to calmly assist my students along their path, in an expectation free, reassuring environment, that maximizes the intake of information. I want to know how you learn and what you need from me in order to make our time together as comfortable and efficient as possible.
I aim to pass on my enthusiasm for music to my students, and believe that keeping a good level of positive motivation is an essential part of learning. I aim to keep my students smiling and in a positive state of mind :)
I teach students of all skill levels - totally fine if you are a complete beginner!
Friendly, relaxed, flexible lessons, learning what you want to know:
Lessons can be as full on or as easy as you like - I have pre-prepared material to teach but I also want to hear what and how you want to learn, and tailor our lessons to suit you as an individual.
I have been teaching electric bass to an advanced level for over 15 years. I have taught students of all ages and with a wide range of musical tastes. I also teach drums, keys and guitar to an intermediate level.
Rates: $80 per hour for one-off sessions, or book a 4-pack of sessions for $250, making lessons $62.50 per hour for regular students.
Location - Lessons are taken from my studio on Norfolk Court Coburg North, or online via Zoom/Skype.
Availability - Weeknight evenings and weekend days. I teach 3-4 nights a week, and can be flexible with times to accommodate busy lives, so there are always openings most evenings. I encourage most students to arrange weekly lessons so a routine and workflow is established.
