Academically Thinking...

Before joining Scott's Bass Lessons, Philip was a quintessential part of the bass faculty at London's 'Institute of Contemporary Music Performance'. As a senior lecturer and 'Fellow of the Higher Education Academy', his commissioned course writing enveloped a vast array of the academic programmes - ranging from Part Time and Diploma courses, to Bachelor and Masters Degree qualifications.

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 the three go-to tutors in Europe".
