“If you are looking for a great Bass teacher then you need look no further than Tom Southerton! He has taught my son, Rob to play the Bass guitar over a period of around 5 years and his progress has been amazing. He is a confident and very able bass guitarist thanks to Tom’s expert teaching skills and his obvious enthusiasm for his music. Not only has he taught Rob to play the guitar in a technical sense but he has also introduced him to a wide variety of musical styles which has broadened his taste and opened his eyes to World Music. Tom also supported Rob through a part-time GCSE in Music for which he recently gained an A grade. Tom is very reliable and a really nice guy too! He has not only been a great teacher but has acted as a role model for Rob all through his teen years. I can’t recommend Tom highly enough!”

“Tom has a very easy going way about him and made double bass lessons extremely enjoyable for my 16 year old daughter Jodie. Tom’s extremely accomplished musical talent inspired Jodie and this inspiration coupled with Tom’s teaching meant she advanced quickly. Tom was brilliant at e-mailing her things he thought she might be interested in and went out of his way in assisting us when we bought her a double bass. Tom is one of the lucky few who love their work and this is reflected in his teaching.”
