Bass is definitely one of the most (if not the most)
important instruments in the contemporary music world! Though often
neglected comparing to the guitars and drums in a band, its function as a
groove machine and harmonic foundation has made it one of the most unique
and important instruments. From pushing a driving rock bass line to laying
down a funky groove, our versatile, experienced and knowledgeable team of
instructors will sure know how to help the students and parents reach their
goals.
Age
Generally bass is for students 9 and up. Adequate finger strength and arm
span are required to start playing the bass. However, each student is
unique in its developmental stage. Please contact us to schedule a free
assessment meeting today!
