About Marcus

I was a musician from an early age, initially being taught and encouraged by my Father who played in popular Cornish bands in the 1960’s and it’s thanks to him and many other inspiring teachers that I became a professional bass player. I studied music at Middlesex University and the prestigious Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London and have lived and worked as a musician in the capital ever since. I have performed extensively in the London jazz scene and has played at prestigious venues such as the Vortex, Jazz Cafe and Pizza Express, Soho as well as festivals like Glastonbury, Shetland Folk Festival and Fengaros in Cyprus. Performances have also taken me to France, Germany, Portugal and many other locations. I have remained a versatile and open minded musician and have worked with artists from the world of folk and blues such as Ben Faulkner’s Bonfire Band and Adam Beattie and singer-songwriters such as Baxter Dury, son of the legendary Ian Dury as well as some of the Uk’s most innovative jazz artists. I have played on over a dozen commercially available albums as well as sessions for library and film and tv music.

I have been teaching double bass and bass guitar and music theory for around twenty years. I have taught young people in schools in South London and as a private tutor from home and more recently on line via Zoom and Skype. Former students have gone on to become full time musicians themselves and have obtained scholorships to prestigious music schools such as The Purcell School in North London and The Royal Academy of Music.

I really enjoy teaching and passing on the skills and knowledge which I have acquired over many years as a full time professional musician.

I was lucky enough to have many inspiring teachers when I was starting out who nurtured my early talent and designed their approach to the lessons based on my individual needs. This is my aim too and I will always adapt my teaching technique to the students requirements rather than teaching to a set formula.

I design my own teaching resources and will share these with my students.

Music theory is often seen as bewildering. I aim to cut away this mystery and explain the building blocks of western music in a methodical and easy to understand way as well as demonstrating how to apply this theory practically.

As a professional jazz bassist for over twenty years I have had to rely on an advanced knowledge of harmony, melody and musical fundamentals in order to fit in to the countless musical situations I have found myself in.
