Rock Bass
What style of Rock do you slam on? Is it Classic, Alternative, Contemporary, Heavy
Metal, Indie, Punk, Progressive? Mastering the skill and expression of the Rock
Bass is a heart-thumping experience. Instruction focuses on right and left hand
technique, scale theory and technique, arpeggio studies, chord blocks and rock
rhythms to get you rocking, thumping and filling in the bottom with those fat bass
sounds.
Blues Bass
Mastering the skill and expression of Blues Bass is a slap-down, get-back and
jump-up experience. Instruction focuses on right and left hand technique, scale
theory and technique for modes and pentatonic scales, arpeggio studies, chord
blocks, blues rhythms and the 8,12,16 and 24 bar Blues (with and without bubbles).
Jazz Bass
Jazz Bass requires all of the focus and commitment of the Rock & Blues Bass, with
the added demand of the Cool/Hot and skillful improvisation. Instruction focuses on
left and right hand technique (for chord progressions and scales), Jazz Chord
Theory and substitution, Chord Melodies and Pure Improvisation.
Upright Bass
Mastering the skill and expression of the Upright Bass is a joyous, rip-roaring,
and powerful experience. Instruction focuses on right and left hand technique,
scale theory and technique, arpeggio studies, sight reading and performance for
any style that you choose to play.
