Academically Thinking...
Before joining Scott's Bass Lessons, Philip was a quintessential part of London's 'Institute of Contemporary Music and Performance’ bass faculty. Not only a senior lecturer, his commissioned course writing enveloped a vast array of academia - ranging from Part Time and Diploma programmes, to Bachelors and Masters Degree materials.
The success and quality of his materials resulted in an international decoration from The Players School of Music, in Florida: awarding him a ‘Certificate of Academic Excellence’ in response to ‘on going dedication and devotion to music’. Scott Devine describes him as "a natural born teacher", Jeff Berlin heralds him as "one of three go-to tutors in Europe".

Jeff Berlin: My Academic Epiphany
My entire musical resumé can be divided into two periods:
(i) The which came prior to studying with Jeff Berlin
(ii) and, that which succeeded.
Almost every prolific event that has defined my music career happened after my period of study with Jeff Berlin. I'm 100% certain that my time under Jeff's wing is responsible for redefining me as the musician I am today. Without my time in Florida, I doubt I would ever have been able to generate the skill set that has allowed me to capitalise on the performance opportunities that have followed.
Jeff Berlin's Consensus Gentium
Jeff Berlin’s ‘Consensus Gentium’ was a unique platform, hosted by With Bass In Mind's YouTube Channel, where the discussion of bass education is unapologetic, where valid practice methods are demonstrated and where perceived myths of being taught are confronted. All simply...With Bass In Mind.
