west london bass lessons
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 live and studio experience touring throughout the UK and abroad and his
teaching experience includes Head of Bass Guitar Studies at Exeter College, Head
of Bass at Portland Place School in London alongside a large number of 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 normally 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 ground breaking bassists such as Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Geddy
Lee or Larry Graham, Scales & Arpeggios, Sight Reading, Harmony & theory, Ear
training, Composition, Music Technology. Double Bass lessons focus on posture,
hand positioning, jazz pizzicato and walking bass 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 a daunting prospect so i’m always very happy to recommend
certain luthiers, shops or websites.
