Music graduate and electric Bass player teaching songwriting, electric bass and Ukulele to all levels. Relaxed, person-centred teaching approach!

Iain is a fabulous player with a great attitude and I'm sure any student would be lucky to learn from him! He is patient, knowledgeable and experienced and I highly recommend him!

Iain has years of experience playing right up to the present day. He’s adaptable and musically generous. He’s also a great communicator and very easy to get along with. He creates a relaxed environment in which he teaches effectively and enjoyably.

Iain is an excellent teacher - always tailors the lesson to exactly what I need, and is patient. Totally recommend.

I have worked in the past with Iain. Simply one of the best bass players I have had the pleasure of playing with. Very good indeed!

I am sure he would be an inspiring tutor

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Iain Allen for over a decade, initially as a student under his guidance, and eventually, as someone he mentored towards becoming a teacher. Iain's approachability and knack for creating a comfortable learning environment truly set him apart. His supportive nature and ability to foster growth by encouraging the acceptance of mistakes make him an exceptional bass tutor."

Iain is a great teacher and gives informative and fun lessons, highly recommended!

I’ve had the pleasure of performing alongside Iain at weddings and various other events and venues. I was impressed with his skilled bass playing, attention to detail and his musicianship and musicality; often offering to sing backing vocals as well.
Iain is very personable and easy to get along with. His calm manner and enthusiastic attitude make his company comfortable and enjoyable. His friendliness, positivity and cooperation stood out to me. Iain has the experience, skill and temperament for teaching and I believe would make a very encouraging, motivating and patient tutor.

Iain is a very practical and patient teacher. He helped me to quickly pick up a piece that I performed for my national 5 examination which went very well.

Iain is a fantastic teacher. His playing skills are brilliant but his kindness, communication and compassion for his students is what makes him someone I’d have no hesitation recommending . He has taught many lessons for us over the years with students of all ages and levels and always brings joy to learning. He improves students skills as well as bringing happiness to any lesson.

Iain is a great tutor! He taught my son (William) and was very patient as he doesn’t have much of an attention span! Iain would go out his way to bring music that would appeal to him to get his interest and would take his time explaining things in a clear way that didn't overload William with too much information. He knows how keep interest up and willing to change things around to better suit the style of the learner. Very engaging, fun and talented tutor!

Iain is a calm and patient person that his personality matches the qualities required for teaching. He is methodical, well organised and can successfully give the necessary information to a pupil.
