FAQ for Bass Lessons
Lessons are always available online, but for in-person lessons, for now, all teachers and students wear masks and maintain 6 ft or more distances. Lesson rooms have plexiglass dividers and air filters. In addition, the COVID-certified iWave air scrubber is installed in our central air systems throughout the building.
It is advisable to come to your first lesson with your instrument, but if you do not have one yet, let us know when you sign up so your teacher will prepare to let you use one and will advise you about purchasing the right bass for you and your lessons.
