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".

"Phil Mann is alongside Steve Bailey,
Bruce Getz, John Patitucci and Victor Wooten
as one of my top five instructors on the planet”

Digital video lessons are all well and good and in all fairness there's enough free information on the internet that'll keep you going for a number of decades if you see fit, but who's overseeing your progress? Who's giving you the reassurance and guidance you need along the way?
Most importantly, who's helping you when it all goes wrong, is there to share helpful insights to get you back on course to achieving your musical goals? YouTube doesn't give this sort of direction.
In my opinion there's no substitute for relationships and learning any instrument should always be on a One2One basis...unfortunately, it's our generation that has chosen an alternative platform.
Every single student has a personalised curriculum created for them, with all the learning materials supplied during their 60 min One2One session. Most critically, everyone has access to round-the-clock support with their questions and queries...something YouTube doesn't supply!

Practice Diary Submission:
You will be required to record yourself and submit practice diaries on a regular basis. Obviously, you can use any preferred format, (an ‘unlisted’ YouTube video is more than sufficient video). However, other options are available and I direct all students towards ‘Use Loom’ (https://www.useloom.com) where possible. If you’ve not got an account with this free service, it may be worth organising prior to our sessions.
