About

About	I’m Lewis, a musician who has been performing and teaching in the Aberdeen area for the past 17 years. I started off teaching bass to my best friend’s brother and soon found myself with many guitar and bass pupils in the music shop Bruce Millers. While at college I taught at Sound Ideas and later began piano teaching privately. Throughout this time I have been very active in the music scene, and so in lessons, there is an emphasis on practicality. This includes music theory. I will show the pupil how it is relevant to the musical experiences they look for. Music Qualifications & Achievements: I have an HNC Music Performance, and have reached a high aptitude on bass, piano & guitar I am known in the Aberdeen jazz scene, having maintained a monthly residency at The Sanddollar Cafe for 7 years, played at The Blue Lamp and The Aberdeen Jazz Festival. Also Edinburgh, Callander & Langtoun Jazz Festivals The pinnacle has been the recording of “Mosaic”, the debut album which was successfully funded by The Prince’s Trust Teaching is inspiring in that all that I discover musically can be passed on and made more accessible to another generation
