What to Expect from Your Bass Lessons
Our lessons are focused on your individual needs. We’ll start with a free consultation to discuss your musical interests and goals. From there, we can work on technique, music theory, specific styles, or learning your favourite songs.
Beginner Bass Lessons: Build a strong foundation with fingerpicking, picking, healthy left-hand technique, and basic scales. We'll also explore simple bassline writing.
Advanced Bass Techniques: Expand your skills with slap bass, bass chords, harmonics, and speed and accuracy exercises.
Music Theory for Bassists: While playing by ear is essential, music theory can enhance your understanding. We’ll explore how theory can help you craft great basslines, transcribe songs, and analyze different musical styles.
