Richard Blake - Curriculum Director.
Inspired by his late grandfather, Richie first picked up a bass at age 15 and from that moment on he knew that it was going to guide and shape his career. Now a full-time professional musician, Richie is proud to be at the top of the 'who to call' list for both artist and producer alike. His touch, feel and musical awareness are only some of the many reasons why he's in such demand.
In recent years, Richie has been involved with teaching bass and lecturing at a local college. He loves nothing more than inspiring the players of tomorrow with his knowledge and experience, and it’s this experience that he brings and openly shares through iTutorus.
