The bass guitar is fundamental in modern music; it has its own unique sound and style and is the melodic foundation of a band. To be a well-rounded musician, it is essential to have an understanding and appreciation of the bass. Students will work on finger placement; gain a deeper understanding of chord shapes, walking lines, arpeggios, as well as fun percussive sounds like slapping and popping. Within the hour-long, structured lesson, students will have some freedom to determine the direction of learning.  Instructors at Junction Beats can tailor each class to the student’s own unique needs and musical tastes.

Upright Bass lessons are available.

*  Students are encouraged to register for Rock Band: a bonus course for young musicians to continue to learn the fundamentals of their instrument while playing with a band in a positive and fun atmosphere.
