FAQ
Q: Is bass easier than guitar?
A: Honestly, yes, it is -- especially when you're just getting started. There are less strings, you don't play chords and the rhythms are often simpler. Having said that, learning bass is a great way to small-step yourself into learning guitar.
Q: Do you teacher kids/adults?
A: We teach both children's and adult bass lessons and have separate methods and courses for both.
Q: How does the course work?
A: We do an initial 5-week course where we're introducing you to the core components of bass: strings, rhythm, plucking, arpeggios, etc. (if you've never heard of any of these terms, don't worry, we'll explain!) These lessons are half an hour at a time and are one-on-one so you'll have an opportunity to figure out the basics before you go into a group class.
After our five week course, we'll assign you one of several small groups. You'll play in unison (all together) and harmony (separate parts) and we'll teach you how to interact with a group musically.
Q: Am I to old to learn?
A: Definitely not! We've taught students in their 80's how to learn, many of whom are still with us and thriving.
Q: What's the youngest age for a child to learn bass?
A: We recommend no earlier than 5. Bass is a fairly simple instrument to pick up but there is a degree of hand eye coordination involved. If you do want your child to start on an instrument, give us a call and we can suggest some options. Ukulele is a good start.
Q: How long does it take to get decent at bass?
A: A surprisingly short amount of time, actually. Everyone is different but you can usually pick up the basics of the instrument (rhythm and fretting) in 3 to 6 months with solid, consistent practice.
Q: Are you local?
A: We're located in Ashfield, right outside the station. We teach bass students from Ashfield, Summer Hill, Haberfield, Leichardt, Croydon and Burwood.
