Bass lessons with an instructor is the quickest way to learn proper techniques, theory, and also can help prevent bad habits from developing. Having a bass guitar instructor is beneficial in that they can show you in “real time” how a song, lick or scale should be played; as other methods of learning can’t see if you are playing something correctly or not!
Your bass guitar lessons focus on getting you to quickly be able to play your favorite songs or compositions! The bass instructors at Band Aid School of Music are all experienced teachers and performers and can help you with any music style that you are interested in learning.
It is ideal if you do have a bass at home before starting lessons, but you can start lessons with our bass teachers by renting from our friends at Rock n Roll Rentals. Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or Strait Music are also good places to find basses, if you are looking to purchase. Our teachers can even help you with guitar repair, setup, string choice and more.

When you enroll in bass lessons, your teacher will ask you about your favorite types of music and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. You’ll work together to develop a plan to achieve your goals. We love beginners, so even if you don’t know where to begin, we can help! -

There is no set answer for how long it takes to learn. With regular practice, a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long-term basis because they want to be constantly improving, and they find lessons enjoyable.

We get it: as an adult student or a younger student with many extra curricular activities, it can be hard to find the time. Our instructors will encourage you to make time to practice. They’ll help you do that by giving you short, effective and fun exercises that you can do easily throughout the day because practice makes progress, whether it’s 5 minutes or 60. And, we’re confident that once you get started, you’ll fall in love with the guitar and never want to put it down!

Yes. Even if you don’t have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. By simply monitoring that they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day the student will progress. Parents will occasionally sit in on their child’s music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound or how the student should be positioning their hands.
