Suitable for bass players with some degree of experience, who wish to take their skills to a higher level and learn more advanced forms of technique, reading, improvising from chord symbols, rhythm and tempo, and performing in several contemporary styles.
Classes will be held at Morley College and are continuous over three terms. Students may sign up each term or for the whole year. Please be aware that catch-up lessons will be available online if you enrol in terms 2 & 3. Handouts are provided each lesson to accompany classwork. Additional handouts are provided that reference music elements such as theory, harmony, rhythm, phrasing, and technique. Students are encouraged to perform each exercise with the tutor, who accompanies on guitar, piano or with backing tracks. Play-along backing tracks are provided for practise and personal development outside of the classroom. There is an option for recordings of students’ performances if they choose. To ensure that you make the best possible progress on your course, feedback, advice, and Q&A sessions are conducted in a constructive and supportive environment.
Students who have attended Bass Guitar 1 course, or who have had some previous experience of the bass guitar.
The first lesson begins with important basics that gradually build throughout the term. Regular practice between lessons is essential for ongoing progress.
