bass Lessons
(ages five and up)
Overview
Our bass instructors teach rock, blues, jazz, metal, and classical styles on both electric and acoustic basses. Beginners work on simple songs and bass lines, sight reading and theory. Each lesson will challenge you with a new technique or music theory concept, and end with something fun – such as your favorite riff or song. We employ a variety of bass method books based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring their favorite bass songs to learn during their lessons.
