What Makes the Bass Guitar Unique?
While the bass guitar looks similar to an electric guitar, it plays a very different role in a band. With fewer strings and a deeper range, the bass is the engine room of the music—connecting the rhythm and harmony while supporting the melody.
In bands, the bassist works closely with the drummer to drive the groove. From rock and pop to jazz and funk, learning bass gives students an understanding of rhythm and harmony that makes them invaluable in any ensemble.
Why Learn Bass Guitar?
Learning the bass guitar offers benefits that go beyond just the instrument:
✅ Develop strong timing and rhythmic feel
✅ Learn to lock in with drums and support the whole band
✅ Deepen your understanding of music theory
✅ Complement your guitar studies or expand your songwriting skills
✅ Build confidence as a multi-instrumentalist
Many great songwriters and performers started on bass—or switched from guitar to bass—including Paul McCartney, Carol Kaye, Sting, and Roger Waters. Learning both instruments is an amazing way to grow as a musician.
Beginner Bass Lessons

You know your child best! Most can handle a full-hour lesson; however, if you are strapped for time or they are 7 years old or younger and have trouble focussing, looking into one of the 30 or 45-minute lessons may be better. You will quickly find that the more time students spend with their instrument, the better they will become. So we always recommend choosing hour lessons if they can. Feel free to call us on (02) 7255 0599 if you’re not sure!
