Welcome to
My name is Edwin & I'm a professional bass player and performer based in Leyton offering my services as a professional teacher for all ages.
I aim to ensure that my students gain the practical and theoretical skills required to play with confidence and conviction, whilst having fun and enhancing their enjoyment of the instrument. I am passionate about passing on my bass playing knowledge and sharing my extensive experience of the music industry.
My lessons are tailored to each student, drawing upon a set of key skills that I believe will enhance musicianship at any level, alongside focusing on your individual goals and interests.

I like to tailor make my lessons around the music that my students love and enjoy in their own spare time. We will learn songs by your favourite artists as well as all the classics.
I will make a lesson plan that is tailored to your needs. I can teach everything including Music theory, Song Work, Songwriting, Graded Exams & much more.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I'm a highly experienced teacher who enjoys working on a wide range of styles with students of all ability levels.
I am a professional bassist and cellist based in London, with a wide range of experience as both a teacher and a performer. I primarily teach double bass, bass guitar, and cello at all levels and am happy teaching jazz, rock, and folk as well as taking a traditional classical approach.
Initially studying as a classical cellist, I went on to study Popular Music Performance at the ICMP where I achieved a First Class Degree as a bass guitarist. After a year out to tour around Europe with folk singer Christof Van Der Ven, I began two years of study at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama on the postgraduate jazz course.
During my time as a player I have achieved Grade 8 in Bass Guitar 7 Cello, BMus Popular Music Performance (First Class Honours), MMus Jazz Performance (Distinction), A Level Music, A Level Music Technology, LRSL Teaching Licentiate & much more.
I am a member of Indie band Mosa Wild, with whom I have toured the UK and Europe, opening for acts such as Tame Impala and Maggie Rogers. I also produce for and tour with soul singer Georgia Van Etten as well as a host of other artists.
Alongside original music, I regularly play corporate gigs at prestigious London venues such as Ronnie Scott's, The Ivy and Annabel's, and perform regularly in the West End as both a bassist and cellist.
Having taught privately and in several schools for the past 7 years, I am happy to guide students through ABRSM and Trinity exams when asked. I personally have really felt the benefits of learning to read music from a young age and am keen to pass on this skill. If this definitely isn't for you, no problem, I'm also passionate about helping students to develop good ears and improvisation skills.
Leyton has a few options when it comes to music shops. For more options I would recommend travelling further into London. Here are a few places I can't live without.

I'm an experienced Bass teacher and player who can help you rapidly improve your bass playing and understanding of music with professional industry standard Bass lessons in Leyton. I build my lessons around the music that my students love and always make sure the lessons are both informative and enjoyable.
[email protected]My lessons are currently charged at £20 per half hour and £40 per hour for all students.
I take most of my lessons from my home teaching space in the E10 5RB area of the city. I also offer mobile lessons and online lessons for those who prefer to learn from the comfort of their own home.
I offer my tuition to students of all ages. I believe that learning music shouldn't have an age limit.
I encourage weekly lessons for the best results. This isn't essential though and you can learn as and when you like.
If you cancel a lesson with less than 48 hours notice you will still be charged for the lesson.
