Bass Guitar and Double Bass Lessons in West London and Online
West London Bass Lessons was founded by Dan Ezard to provide Guitar, Bass Guitar and Double Bass Lessons to students of all ages and abilities. Dan has over 15 years of live and studio experience touring throughout the UK and abroad. His teaching experience includes being Head of Bass Guitar Studies at Exeter College and Head of Bass at Portland Place School in London, alongside many private students of all ages. Bass lessons will be suited to your individual needs and can be focused on your favourite music style/taste and will be taken at your own pace.
A few of the topics generally covered in my lessons are:
- Left-hand positioning
- Right-hand finger style
- Slap bass
- Advanced techniques (tapping, harmonics, chords/solo bass)
- Pick /plectrum technique
- Style files – An in-depth study of groundbreaking bassists such as Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Geddy Lee or Larry Graham
- Scales & Arpeggios
- Sight Reading
- Harmony & Theory
- Ear training
- Composition
- Music Technology
Online Double Bass Lessons
Double Bass lessons focus on posture, hand positioning, jazz pizzicato and walking bass lines, classical double bass techniques including the ABRSM Grades, how to hold the bow (French & German Bow) and how to choose the correct instrument for you. Purchasing your first double bass can be daunting, so I’m always delighted to recommend certain luthiers, shops or websites.
Music Lessons For Everyone
I also teach acoustic guitar and electric guitar lessons to children and beginners. See my testimonials page for a great review from Miles, who is currently studying his Registry of Guitar tutors grades and getting distinctions on every exam!
