Adrian Foulkes

Hi I’m Adrian, a professional music teacher specialising in Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele and Music Theory.

I began playing stringed instruments when I was a small child, in my teens after doing the formal grades in Classical and Jazz Double Bass I switched pathways to follow my interest in contemporary music.

I learnt to play the Guitar and Ukulele as well as Bass Guitar, which I now consider my main instrument.

At 18 I went to a contemporary music specialist academy where I studied both the Guitar and Bass under some of the worlds best session musicians and left with a 1st Class (Hons) Degree in Instrumental Practice.

Since my graduation I have had years of industry and teaching experience. I work as a professional session musician and artist having toured across Europe and America. I’ve played everything from upright bass in Jazz ensembles to Blues Rock on Beale St. Memphis.

I teach any level from complete beginners who've never held an instrument before right through to advanced students who have been playing for years! 

Whether you want to just learn for fun and get playing some of the songs you love or if you want to make your way through formal exams I’ll tailor your lessons to fit your own goals and how you learn best. 

No matter your age or what style you like, I can help you become fluent on your instrument and capture all the details of how to play your favourite music!

In our lessons we will work on all the elements you will need to be a great musician, including Technique, Timing and Rhythm, Music Theory (and how to use it), Stylistic Awareness and most of all Confidence! 

In lessons we will use Diagrams, Standard Music Notation, Shapes and Tabs to help make it as simple as possible to follow the song, copies of these and any lesson notes will be sent via email following your lesson so you always have a visual reminder of what we worked on!

I do 30m, 45m and 1hr Lessons online. I tend to recommend 30mins for younger students and 45/1hr for adults and teens. 

If you’re interested or have any questions please get in tough!
