Bass lessons in Greenwich

I am Malcolm, a live/studio guitar player since 34 years & DBS checked RGT tutor since 28 years, accredited Honors from Berklee College of Music, who loves nothing more than sharing my skills to help you my student continually improve in how to translate your feelings and music ideas onto the guitar/bass/ukelele (regardless of your preferred style), or to understand how notes in your head/on paper sound in reality (if learning harmony/theory in addition to/separate from the above instruments).

I've spent the last eight years teaching with Newham Music Service, where I currently lead their Music Technology programme, as well as teach a mixture of 1-to-1’s and large groups of all ages and settings. Alongside a decade of my own career as a signed touring musician. My approach to teaching and making music has become part of the same practice — one where technical skill and genuine connection with the person in front of you both matter. Most of my teaching happens in community and school settings across a wide range of ages and backgrounds, including students who don't always find it easy to engage with formal education. I run weekly music technology groups where students write, record and produce their own tracks from scratch, and I've found that real progress — musical and personal — tends to come from building trust first: getting to know how someone works, what motivates them, and where they need more space or more structure. Some of my proudest moments as a teacher have been watching a student who initially felt music education "wasn't for them" go on to perform live at a showcase. For students working toward exams, I follow the relevant syllabus closely and build lessons around steady, confidence-building progression toward Grade 8. For students without exam goals — which is most of the young people I teach — I focus on developing their own creative voice, whether that means writing lyrics, producing a beat, or getting comfortable performing in front of others for the first time. My own musical background led me to release music through labels including Polydor, touring the UK and Europe including performances at Reading & Leeds and Pitchfork Paris festivals, plus performing sessions for BBC Radio 1. I’ve worked alongside world-leading musicians and producers, and I now produce music for independent artists from my own studio. I bring that experience directly into my teaching, making music & production accessible at whatever level a student is starting from. I hold a PGCert in Performance Teaching from Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and I'm about to begin an MComp there. Across both my teaching and my own practice, I've become especially interested in relational, trauma-informed approaches that support young people who don't always feel safe or welcome in arts education — without that support coming at the expense of high-quality musical teaching. I'm currently taking on a small number of new private students in the SE15 area. I'm DBS checked and happy to discuss lesson format — at a home studio, at the student's home, or online. If you're looking for a teacher combining solid classical training, broad experience with a wide range of learners, and real industry background in performance and production, I'd love to hear from you.

Danny Ricci is an eclectic guitarist, a passionate teacher and a music producer with a creative and dynamic approach across a vast range of music styles. He has been teaching for years, working with students of different ages and musical styles. His lessons are intended to develop skills as improvisation, performance, theory, reading, technique and to study in deep different styles such as blues, rock, jazz and pop, expanding the student’s own potentiality. He helps students through their grades with international exam boards (Trinity College London; RockSchool; RGT; ABRSM). “My teaching philosophy is that learning music should be an inspiring, motivating, fun, and exciting experience. My lessons are focused on each student that should find out and follow his own natural predisposition to reach his goals and my job is helping him to do that”, Dan. Dan (born Danilo Ricciardiello) started studying classical guitar when he was eleven years old and, after a few years, the study of modern music such as blues, rock, and jazz, totally captured him. During these years he gained a deep knowledge of these styles studying under the guidance of the well-known Italian teacher, composer, and arranger Giancarlo Perna with whom he also studied arranging and composing. His love and devotion for music took him even to New York City where he spent few months playing for local artists and attending lessons with some of the top international players and teachers ( Jonathan Kreisberg, Adam Rogers). As a session musician, Dan plays different music styles, mostly rock, blues, and jazz. He has enjoyed playing in different bands and for different kinds of artists in the studio and at many venues. In 2015, holding a BMus in Jazz Guitar from the Conservatory of Music San Pietro a Majella, he decided to move to London where he also works as a session musician and composer, collaborating with studios based in London and Los Angeles to write music for movie trailers. Dan teaches in his music studio in Sydenham (South East London, SE26), situated in a converted warehouse just in front of the overground station. He also teaches in music academies in different parts of London (Greenwich Music School, Blackheath Conservatoire) and he regularly makes lessons on Skype. So, in case you live too far or don’t have time to travel, all you need is a webcam and an internet connection.​In 2017, he started working as a movie trailer co-author and composer with the Los Angeles-based music producer Oscar Neidhardt and in 2018 he started his own music productions and session works in his new music studio in South East London. Dan deeply enjoys teaching students of all ages and different styles, doing guitar masterclasses regarding his favourite music genres and writing arrangements for his band classes. He is always committed to sharing his passion for the guitar. Dan is a DBS checked tutor and a member of the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM).
