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".

with volume two now sporting a foreword from the highly respected welsh wizard, Laurence Cottle.
