The bass guitar is a powerful, dynamic instrument, and an exciting way for a teenager to build real musical skill.
We offer expert bass tuition that blends structured learning with the freedom to explore and to play what they want to play.
Our instructors take students through the essentials — finger placement, rhythm, timing, and playing with authority — while encouraging them to develop a style of their own.
Learning music should be inspiring as well as disciplined, so lessons are built to grow confidence and musicianship in a room where a young musician is never judged.
Whether they want to be on a stage or simply to play well for their own pleasure, we teach towards what they are actually after.

Common questions
Where are the bass guitar lessons held?
In Fitzrovia, W1 — a few minutes from Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street — and in studios across Central London.
Who are the teachers?
Experienced performers and teachers who have studied under some of Europe’s finest musicians, and who specialise in teaching children rather than adults.
How are the lessons structured?
Weekly, on a set day and time. Each lesson builds technique, musical expression and confidence together rather than drilling one at the expense of the others, and the balance is matched to your child rather than to a fixed syllabus.
How long is each bass guitar lesson?
Lessons are 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Shorter lessons usually suit younger beginners; longer lessons suit children who are progressing towards more demanding repertoire.
When can my child start?
At any point in the year. Lessons are weekly on a set day and time, and are paid monthly.
Does my child need to have played before?
No. Complete beginners are welcome, and lessons are tailored to the level your child is starting from.
What if my child is not especially talented?
Then they are like almost every child who starts. Talent is not the entry requirement — attention is, and a good teacher builds that. Children are never judged or criticised here, and progress is measured against where your child began rather than against anybody else.
What is the minimum commitment?
Two months. Lessons are paid monthly, and notice of four teaching weeks can be given from the end of the first month — so the shortest possible commitment is two months.
Do we need a bass guitar at home?
Yes. Your child needs an instrument to practise on between lessons, and having a good one from the first week makes a real difference to how much they enjoy it. If you are not sure what to buy, ask us and we will recommend something.
Can my child take ABRSM or Trinity exams?
Yes, and they are optional. Grades give a course structure and something to aim at, and the certificate at the end is worth more to a child than adults tend to expect.
How much should my child practise?
Fifteen minutes a day is plenty to begin with, rising as they get older and more able. Daily and short beats weekly and long.
Can I sit in on the lesson?
Yes. It helps you understand what the teacher is asking for, which makes practice at home easier. If your child concentrates better alone with the teacher, that is worth respecting too.
Do you offer a discount for siblings?
No. Our teachers are paid for their expertise and their time, and a sibling lesson takes as much of both as any other.

a trained ear, the discipline to master something difficult,
and the ability to express what words cannot.
These are gifts that remain long after childhood.
