Enjoy learning to improvise
With over 40 years of experience performing live music, predominantly reggae, I’ve dedicated my life to the art of improvisation.
Unlike many musicians, I don’t read sheet music. Instead, I trust my ears to guide me. For me, music is all about the flow, without the constraints of boxes or notes on a page.
I believe in the power of pure improvisation, where every note is a chance to explore, create, and connect. That’s why I’m here to share my passion and expertise with you. I’ll help you unlock your potential and find your own unique voice on the trombone.
Let me show you how to break free from the limitations of written music and experience the joy of improvisation. This is for all musicians and vocalists. You will learn fun, and engaging ways of listening to, and interacting with your favourite music.
We’ll make music that’s vibrant, spontaneous, and truly alive. Join me on an unforgettable musical journey. Let’s make the world a richer place, one note at a time.”
How it works
As your dedicated teacher, I’ll guide you through the grooves and infectious beats of reggae music, helping you master the art of improvisation like never before.
Sessions are online video through your choice of platform. One to one, or group ‘Jam’ sessions are a possible in the Bristol or Stroud area.
Cost is based on ability to pay. Let’s start at £25 per half hour session. If you are genuinely skint, I know what that’s like and will discount accordingly. If you are paying the full rate you are perhaps helping to fund the less well off.
Whether you’re a beginner looking to get started or an experienced player wanting break away from the written and take your improv skills to the next level, my lessons are designed to inspire and empower.
Together, we’ll explore the unique techniques, scales, and rhythms that define the reggae genre, allowing you to unleash your creativity and express yourself with confidence. Get ready to jam, vibe, and groove like never before
