Persevere Music - Bass & Guitar Tuition

Roland has been a brilliant teacher for me and helped me, develop my skills and techniques very quickly! He gave me loads of songs to learn, taught me theory, introduced me to new genres and many different artists along the way and always set me a good challenge which I really enjoyed!

Fantastic bass guitar tutor. I had a basic level of playing bass when I started lessons with Roland, and I have now greatly increased my knowledge on music theory, as well as improving my playing ability. He is able to give me focus to my practicing, with goals for each week, and new techniques to try on new songs that I want to learn, which I found is more enjoyable and relevant than learning songs from a book. I have also started guitar lessons with him to expand my musical range, which aga...
