Guitar and Bass Lessons in Crouch End

Description

As a Professional Musician who has been working and performing in the industry for the past 10 years, I have gained experience in many areas of the industry. Some of these areas include performing, recording and producing.

Lewis grew up in Southampton; from a young age music was ingrained in him. Hearing players such as Marcus Miller, James Taylor, Staurt Zender and Jaco Pastorious inspired Lewis to want to pick up the Bass Guitar and Guitar.

From the age of 13 Lewis was playing in original bands and gigging. In his twenties Lewis decided to take the opportunity and study a degree in Professional Music Performance at The Academy Of Contemporary Music. At this institute Lewis was taught under player such as
Paul Geary (Nik Kershaw), Joe Hubbard and Paul Turner (Jamiroquai).

Some highlights over the years have been working at the famous Pool Studios on a live session with Fred Abbott (Noah and the Whale), featuring on a Universal Album called Acoustic Hits (which the track later appeared on Love Island), playing in an original band set on the same bill as Huw Stevens from BBC Radio 1, touring with a established Pink Floyd Tribute Band and recording regularly as a session bassist and guitarist at Lark Recording Studios.

“Lewis is a dedicated musician with a great love and passion for music and he is also a very amiable and friendly person who is easy to work with and would be an asset to any musical environment”.

Nic:
'In more than 30 years of playing, with several bass teachers en route, Lewis has been a head and shoulders above the rest. An exceptional bassist, accomplished performer and recording artist, he’s brought his own, infectious love of music to my lessons, making them something to look forward to every week. Lewis has adeptly catered to my interest in jazz and funk, working outside lesson time to research appropriate numbers to learn, create genre-specific exercises, bespoke backing tracks, notation and tabs and identify further helpful resources. Above all, he’s a lovely guy; always positive and encouraging and I’ve very much enjoyed his company.” Nic Gault (30 years bass playing in originals, covers and function bands.)

Ian:
'I have been having bass lessons with Lewis for 2 years. He makes the bass lessons very enjoyable and fun and he is very patient, I have learnt so much and really enjoy playing along with songs. He even brought over his bass to let me have a go on before I bought one. I really recommend Lewis as a tutor I can’t believe I can play along with songs now. He has also taught me how to read music'.
