Don’t just take my word for it—hear from students who’ve transformed their bass playing.
“My daughter has taken bass lessons since September 2024 and her confidence has grown. She thoroughly enjoys the weekly lessons with Tony. He breaks down every element in easy chunks and shows encouragement and patience.”
— Parent of student
“Learning with Tony has been a game changer. Having someone explain everything from the correct set-up to getting my posture and finger positions right has made my playing experience so much better.”
— Sam
“Tony has a music degree and gigs in two bands. He spotted things I was doing wrong straight away—bass too low, bad wrist position, poor setup. Fixing those changed everything.”
— Graeme Bowman
“Tony’s tutelage has helped me to grow as a bassist and has been a crucial part of getting me to where I am today. I’d highly recommend booking some lessons.”
— Sam
