Trying us out is risk free
The only real way to find out more about our bass guitar lessons in Blackpool is to book your child a free taster session and we’ll invite you to have a nosy around, meet other students and parents and watch your child perform what they’ve learned that evening.
All we ask is that you are serious about your interest.
And if you like it…
Our classes last for two and a half hours and cost £23.50, a little less than the average one hour private lesson.
If you’re considering investing in one to one lessons this might save you a little money and have a more lasting effect.

THE TARGETS WE SET OUR STUDENTS
In all our bass guitar lessons in Blackpool, your child will work towards targets including instrumental technique and general musicianship. We encourage parents to discuss the targets with tutors before, or after sessions.
The criteria are designed to add structure to and support our student’s musical development. They can help identify general areas for improvement in instrumental skill and highlight specific issues raised by the demands of a particular song.
Where a very specific technique is not contained, but with which a student would like to receive support, we encourage discussion with a student’s band tutor.
