Did you know that bass players are the most sought after musicians in the industry? If you want to get paid, play bass!
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.

ARE YOUR BASS INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
Our bass instructors have proven qualifications, training, teaching experience, and most importantly, passion for teaching. All of our staff are very experienced musicians who have clocked hundreds of hours of stage time. Being a great musician doesn’t automatically make you a great teacher. That’s why we search for those who are best qualified for mentoring our music students!
We search the Live Music Capital of the World for the top teachers who embody the high values at Band Aid School of Music. Most importantly, our instructors strive to relate their teaching to each individual student’s learning style. Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the USA and Europe and have years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly, and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. We search high and low for the BEST teachers, so you don’t have to!

WHAT’S THE #1 REASON TO STUDY BASS AT BAND AID SCHOOL OF MUSIC?
Our bass instructors are warm and friendly and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with you to craft a lesson plan that fits your individual needs and the student’s favorite type of music. Whether you’re playing professionally, a seven-year-old taking their first lesson, or a fifty-year-old returning to the bass after many years, we’ll set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY BASS?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn to play. 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 the lessons enjoyable.
I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR ABILITY. CAN I STILL HELP MY CHILD PRACTICE?
Yes. Even if you don’t have a musical background you can ask your teacher and staff 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.
