Mark teaches from his fully equipped teaching studio at home, in Felixstowe, Suffolk. Spare guitars are always available for students who are without their own instrument ( ideal for beginners who want to 'try before they buy' ). Patient and understanding, Mark has the ability to make you feel comfortable with your playing, whatever your level, yet inspires you to want to progress.

Hello! I'm a music teacher with 5 years of experience and I specialise in harmony/theory, composition, and jazz improvisation. Whether you/ your child is a complete beginner, or you're a professional musician looking to 'add more musical ingredients to the cupboard', or anywhere inbetween, I'd love to hear from you so we can sort out a free taster lesson.
If you are completely new to music, the piano/keyboard (or the drums) is the best place to start. The layout of the keyboard forms the basis for our understanding of harmony and theory, without which, learners of instruments (other than drums) will be at a significant disadvantage.
Things I can help with:
- inspiring young beginners to take up music-making, with a joyful, creative and holistic approach.
- electric bass (bass guitar) lessons, beginner to intermediate
- saxophone lessons, beginner to advanced
- provide a method and structure to beginner/intermediate students looking to take the next step with piano, saxophone, or electric bass
- inspire teens and adults to delve into the world of music with no prior experience
- help intermediate - advanced pianists develop better technique, up to grade 8 level
- provide a comprehensive training in jazz harmony, advanced rhythm, classical composition, songwriting, or improvisation
Things I can't help with:
- Diploma-level classical piano
- Advanced virtuoso electric bass
- Forcing students to learn things they are not interested in
- Forcing students to try to play things they are not yet ready for
- Someone who is looking for the traditional 'strict piano teacher' who doesn't let you choose your own music, punishes you for making mistakes, and has a rigid teaching style that is not adapted to each student

One of the great joys of playing an instrument is to become able to capture the emotive force that the artistes you so admire can evoke.
Discover how they do it. What scales they use, how they create their sublime musical phrases, what their vibrato is like, what ornamentation they favour...
No doubt you want to get a foot in the door fast.
Learn some power chords and play along with your favourite records in the first lesson.
Don't feel abashed about lacking any previous experience. It's not neccessary. I've taken many adult total beginners up to public performance level.
Music theory, Rock, Pop, Acoustic Guitar and Bass Grades.
You don't have to do them but it's nice to be able to guage your progress and if you're hoping to do a GCSE in music or go to a music college being able to show your credentials can be essential to getting an audition.
My students have a 100% pass rate across 30 years.

I'm a professional bassist who plays a variety of live gigs, including functions and originals. I have also worked with an eclectic mix of artists in a recording setting. I have 5+ years of teaching experience and a 1st Class Honours Bachelors of Music in Popular Music. I like to make teaching fun and engaging by utilising specific songs to teach certain techniques or necessary basics such as scales. I find that this leads to my students understanding how to use the techniques easier due to having a musical context of where they do and don't work in a genre or individual piece of music. I can help students work towards grades with any examination board though I have more experience with the rockschool grades.

I am a professional bassist living in East Sussex, England. I've been playing music for as long as I can remember but professionally for the last 5-8 years.
I do all kinds of work from: Studio recording, live shows, composing, and teaching.
It's my goal to help you get a better understanding of the bass and the techniques needed to play. I like to help you learn the songs you want to learn and get you to were you want to be. I'll show you all the tips and tricks and theory how I see it but most importantly I want to taylor the lessons to be around what your own goals with the instrument are.
I'm happy to teach in person or online.

Growing up, I spent 8 years playing in a church band before heading to university. Although I went on to study engineering and then human resources, I continued teaching music — whether online or face-to-face.
Have you ever listened to a song and wished you could just pick up a guitar and play along without checking the chords? My lessons will give you the tools to play by ear, enabling you to join in effortlessly and confidently without relying on chord charts. Whether you’re picking up the guitar for the first time or refining your technique, I offer a flexible and personalised approach to help you achieve your musical goals.
My lessons are tailored to each student's skill level and goals, whether you're a beginner learning the basics or an experienced player looking to refine your skills. We’ll cover everything from essential techniques like strumming and fingerpicking to advanced topics such as soloing, music theory, and improvisation.
For electric and bass guitar students, we’ll explore tone shaping, amplification, and various genres. My aim is to build your confidence through hands-on guidance and practice, ensuring that learning remains engaging and enjoyable.

I have a lifelong passion for music and a range of professional experiences in the industry such as performing on a cruise ship, depping for a professional function band, performing as a solo covers act, running my own music production business and working as a multi-instrumental solo artist. Achieving my degree in Professional Musicianship from BIMM Bristol and in the years since, making money as a Musician has given me a wealth of knowledge and experience that I would love to share with aspiring musicians.
As a multi-instrumentalist playing Guitar, Bass, Drums and Vocals I believe I can take a well-rounded approach to teaching. I can help students thrive in learning how to play their instrument, gain knowledge about music theory related to their instrument, seek musical opportunities, and help them achieve their musical grades, especially as I recently went through the process of achieving a distinction in Grade 8 vocals, my former weakest instrument.

I enjoy teaching lessons that are relevant to each individual students. This requires a bit more work for me to prep but I think my students benefit from every lesson being tailored to them. We'll learn all the chords, scales, technique and knowledge encountered in the grade books but through more unique and engaging content.
For those who wish to take grades I am happy to accommodate! You can find a lot more more details on my website: www.***

I have studied Classical Music to degree level, majoring in Performance (in which I gained a first), with modules also in Composition (for which I have won the Michael Grady Composition Prize), Music Therapy, Indian Improvisation, Ensemble Studies, Music Industry, Historical, Critical and Analytical Studies amongst others.
Having 10 years of professional teaching experience with students of all ages, BA (Hons) in Classical Music Performance and experience in the music industry, I am an ideal teacher for any student, whether their interest is casual, educational or professional, or for any genre, such as pop, rock, classical, jazz or world music. Each student's syllabus will be tailor made based on their current skill level, goals and tastes, with exercises and repertoire added to enhance their learning.
Whether you want to play and write songs casually in a band or want to work through grades to impress with your technical wizardry, whether you wish to play Classical, Flamenco, Pop, Rock, Jazz or Country, whether you are a complete beginner or experienced and wish to brush up your skills, I can offer a fun and efficient means to do so.
