Lessons Tailored To You
Stephen has been playing the bass guitar for over 10 years and has subsequently developed a deep understanding of the instrument and how to create a distinctive sound. Growing up in London meant Stephen has had exposure to the vast amount of jam and gig opportunities in the city for over a decade, with the diverse range of music on offer being influencing him over this time. Performing live over this period has given him great experience on stage. This includes having to improvise, play unknown pieces and lock in with a new band.
