Stuart Clayton is one of the UK’s most respected bassists and teachers. Throughout his career he has written for the UK’s Bass Guitar Magazine, authored and published 18 bass tuition books, and toured the world with artists such as legendary drummer Carl Palmer. He is currently the Head of Bass at the Bristol branch of the British Institute of Modern Music (BIMM) and is a fully qualified teacher, able to teach students all the way to degree level. He holds PG Cert and PTTLS qualifications and is fully CRB checked.
Stuart teaches from his home in Barnstaple, North Devon, but also offers live webcam lessons via Skype, as well as correspondence lessons. With prior arrangement, lessons in the Exeter and Bristol areas are possible on certain days.
Private lessons are £30 per hour. A free 15 minute consultation either in person or via phone is included for every new student. This can either be done in advance of the first lesson, or scheduled before the first lesson. There are discounts available for block bookings, so please ask for details.
Skype lessons are £25 per hour. To have a Skype lesson, you will need the Skype software installed on your computer and a high speed internet connection. A free test is advised before booking in order to ensure that your internet connection is sufficient. This can be arranged with Stuart at a time to suit you. Lessons via iChat and AIM are also possible.
Correspondence lessons are also available, but please contact Stuart for details.
Regular students (students who have had at least three lessons) will be able to purchase any of Stuart’s books with a 25% Discount! The books that Stuart has written can be viewed under the Books menu, and also at Stuart’s publishing website Bassline Publishing.

Hello Stuart
My son, Tom, saw you for an assessment at BIMM today and is very keen to get up to speed to try again later in the year.
Would you please let me know if you are available for private lessons, in Bristol if possible?
Many thanks
Anne
