  • Bass I: Bass Guitar for Absolute Beginners

    This class is ideal for those who have little to no experience playing the bass or any instrument. Tia is very patient and the course is crafted around suggestions of the students based on interest and skill level. I highly recommend her as a teacher. She breaks everything down in a way that is understandable and fun to continue on and practice at home with. I will probably take another class with Tia in the future.
  • Bass I: Bass Guitar for Absolute Beginners

    Great course, though I wish it were more than one hour a week!
