James

Hi, my name's James. I'm a private bass teacher and owner of www.jamesformosabass.com, living in Peterborough, UK.
I provide high quality, highly personalised bass guitar tuition, online and in person.

My journey through musical education has led me down most of the established routes: music school, private tutors and online platforms.
And while they all had their merits, none could propel me to the next level of bass playing that I was so desperate to achieve.
​
After dedicating 8 years, along with considerable time and money, I realised I'd been going round in circles.

Even though I followed a traditional path to musical education. It never felt easy or straightforward.
​The problem is that, music schools, local tutors and online platforms, just aren't giving you the time and planning necessary for your personal growth as a musician.
​
Think about it:
​
Music Schools:
Along with being wildly overpriced, resources are stretched over hundreds of students daily.
​
Local Tutors:
Good tutors are hard to find, and teaching is often a side gig. Leaving you with unplanned lessons and little direction.
​
Online Platforms:
By nature, these platforms cannot offer you a personalised experience that's focussed on your developing your skills.

Tutoring Experience

I've had years of experience playing live, including a year with one of the Peterborough's most in demand bands (The Motor City Vipers).

I'm well versed in recording and home studio production.

I have a wide range of music theory and instrument knowledge, along with an in depth understanding of business, self promotion and content creation.
