The Vaughan Music Upright Bass Lesson Advantage
Learn upright bass at VMS and get a jump start on the largest instrument in the strings family. There’s so much more to bass than just playing the bottom notes! Your Columbus upright bass lessons will include engaging music, reading skills, music theory, and practical techniques. Be prepared for your next orchestra performance, gig, or audition – and truly stand out!
Upright bass isn’t just for classical music. Through private upright bass lessons, you can dive into jazz, 1950s blues and rock, traditional country, tango, and folk music traditions. Expand your musical horizons beyond the orchestra pit.
Upright bass instructors in Columbus, Ohio are highly skilled players with music degrees and extensive professional performance, touring, and recording experience. A well-rounded, highly trained, and experienced teacher provides a deeper understanding of each student’s needs and goals. All are devoted to the progress of their students.

FAQ for Bass Lessons
For in-person voice lessons, masks are no longer required but are always honored. We also have them on hand, so if you want one, ask! If you prefer for your convenience, all lessons are available online. In addition, the COVID-certified iWave air scrubber is installed in our central air systems throughout the building, as well as many in-room air purifiers are also installed for sparkling, healthy, clean air!
It is advisable to come to your first lesson with your instrument, but if you are not able to, let us know when you sign up so your teacher will prepare to let you use one and will advise you on getting your own for following lessons.
