I feel that one of my main strengths as a teacher is being able to draw on my real-world experience as an active and practicing musician in a variety of genres. I have taught and continue to teach students of all ages and all abilities from beginner-level, right up to fellow professionals and I always strive to tailor my lessons to the individual. Many of my students, especially mature students, have specific goals in mind when they come to learn; in these cases, we come up with a syllabus together. Every lesson is planned and specifically tailored to them, and work is set at whatever pace suits best. For students who are interested in taking exams, I often recommend the Rockschool exam board (Grades 1-8) and I'm proud to have a 100% pass rate with all my students achieving a Merit or Distinction on their exam. With my students, I am keen to pass on all that I have learned and am able to cater lessons to the student's personal musical tastes, delivering useful information in whatever scenarios and genres they enjoy the most. I have experience teaching from ages 5-65 through my own private lessons, as part of Musicate (an educational programme in which I delivered music workshops to primary aged children all over Gloucestershire) as well as having been the visiting bass guitar and double bass tutor at the renowned Warwick Independent School for over two years. Having started online lessons in March 2020, I now have over three years’ experience in online teaching and have adapted my methods and lesson materials to make the most out virtual lessons. As a result, I'm very honoured to be able to teach students from all corners of the globe! Qualifications: BMus - Jazz Performance (2019) MA - Jazz Performance (2023) MA - Jazz Pedagogy (2025)

Hey Noah, write your teacher bio here!

I am an elecric and double bass player, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter living in North East London, with nearly 15 years of professional experience as performer, composer/songwriter, bandleader, session musician and teacher. I am relaxed, patient and am keen to share my knowledge and skills with those who are in turn keen to learn! Teaching 1 to 1 lessons on Bass Guitar and Double Bass since 2012 (and taking lessons since long, long before!) I have earned great insight into different learning styles and take great joy in seeing students excel. It is my genuine goal to see students flourish and excel in their chosen music styles! I share my knowledge and experience to create an enjoyable and deep journey into the world of music that serves the interests of each individual student. I was taught by several great teachers including music conservatoire bass lecturers, masters of specific world-folk styles, renowned session players, as well as esteemed solo bassist Michael Manring. I still take ocassional lessons myself, for in my opinion we can never know everything, a good musician, teacher, artist, human will always continue learning, and remain humble. I have led university workshops teaching music (Specifically jazz/groove improvisation and Balkan songs/rhythms), taught NYJO workshops, led guitar classes and I also mentor some aspiring musicians in recording, songwriting and general musicianship. A little about my wider experience in Music… Thanks for reading, please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or interest in taking a lesson!

Check out Cykada, Blanco White, Afrik Bawantu or Mimika Orchestra. I grew up playing Jazz and Rock from a very young age on a number of instruments. However since moving to London to advance my life in music 10 years ago and aged 19, I am incredibly grateful to have been submerged in music and culture from Balkans, Greece, Turkey, Cuba, West Africa and Congo, as well as to have learnt and gigged lots of hiphop/neo-soul, jungle/DnB/garage and Modern Jazz / Improvisation. I love to blend these contrasting styles to innovate new sounds. Some places I have performed at include : Glastonbury, Pitchfork Festival Chicago, London Jazz Festival (a few times), Southbank Centre, BBC radio and TV, TRT (Turkish TV), Iranian TV, many European tours, Village Underground, Ronnie Scotts, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg… Currently I am taking a Music Performance Masters (MA) at Goldsmiths University, I have a Rockschool grade 8 on electric bass, grade 5 theory, and a diploma for a short course in Azeri Mugham.
