Bass Guitar Lessons
The bass guitar plays a key role in nearly every style of music, working closely with drums to create rhythm and groove. It is one of the most in-demand instruments and a great starting point for students interested in playing in bands.
Our bass guitar lessons focus on:
- Fingerstyle, slap, and pick techniques
- Groove and timing development
- Reading music and understanding theory
- Playing in different styles including rock, jazz, and pop
Upright Bass Lessons
The upright bass (double bass) is commonly used in orchestra, jazz, and acoustic styles. It requires a different technique than bass guitar and is often introduced through school orchestra programs.
Our upright bass lessons cover:
- Posture and hand positioning
- Pizzicato (plucking) and arco (bowing)
- Reading bass clef and rhythm
- Classical and jazz repertoire
