Overview
Our bass instructors teach rock, blues, metal, country, christian and classical styles. Beginners work on notes, simple songs, sight reading and theory. Each lesson will challenge you with a new technique or music theory, and ends with something fun – such as your favorite riff or song. We employ a variety of bass method books based on student needs and preferences, and encourage students to bring smartphones or tablets to their lessons to learn their favorite tunes.
Our bass instructors are warm, friendly, and get to know each student and parent on a personal level. We work with each student individually. Therefore, teachers are able to craft a lesson plan that accomplishes the student’s unique goals. In short, wether you are a fifty year old returning to the bass, or a seven year old taking their your lesson; we will set goals to achieve your musical aspirations.
We teach all styles, from rock, pop, jazz, and blues to metal, country and christian.
Beginner bass students can expect to work on chords, simple songs, sight reading, and theory.

Rockside offers electric basses for student lessons but to practice at home, you will need a bass. If you can’t find a bass at your local shop, check Sweetwater and American Musical for some good options.
