Introduction session | 30 min
Paul wants to get to know you and gain an understanding of your interests, ability and explore initial goals / musical direction. Everyone is unique! The informal introduction enables Paul to start designing tailor made sessions for you to begin to work on repertoire and exercises at an appropriate level for your ability and of course for you (or your child) to be at ease and sure of moving forward with sessions. We want you to be inspired and enjoy what you are doing.
Beginner to intermediate.
30 min | 45 min sessions
Lessons are catered to a wide age range and varying abilities.
Sessions will include technique development, building blocks of melody/harmony introduced in the form of scales, modes, chords and articulations. All these elements are put into practise by learning songs and musical pieces in genres of your choice.
If you are interested , Paul will guide you in composing your own songs, working on solos, approaching studio recordings, live performance, groove and dynamics.
Mentoring.
Alongside all things technical Paul is a trusted mentor (with a background in mental health) bringing an inspiring and encouraging wealth of experience from his musical journey to inspire you to be the best you can be.
Maybe you simply need to be inspired with your instrument and work on your skills and music pieces.
The Rockschool exams and music qualification can be worked towards but this is not compulsory.
Styles covered: Pop, rock, funk, soul, R&b, drum and bass, jazz, blues, slap bass and everything in between…!
Advanced Bass guitar lessons
For those players who want to deep dive into more advanced styles of bass playing, Paul offers consultation and tailor made sessions, for example: advanced slap techniques including double thumbing, 3/4 finger techniques, groove focus, creating your own bass lines, mentoring in your craft, how to approach studio playing and live performance.
Also let’s remember… whatever level you’re at… the key ingredient is to always have fun and enjoy what you do!!!!
