Slap'n'Pop Music — Sheffield's bass specialist
Bass, guitar, piano and more — with a working musician
I’m Adam Porter — bass specialist and multi-instrumentalist. I teach bass, guitar, double bass, piano, ukulele, and music theory from my Sheffield studio in Handsworth, or online wherever you are. Whether you’re picking up your first instrument or sharpening a technique that’s been bugging you for years, lessons are built around what you actually want to play.
