asked questions

See all FAQs

How much do Grade 8 bass guitar lessons cost?

The price for Grade 8 bass guitar tutors varies based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can browse tutor profiles to see their individual rates, which are clearly listed. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.

What if I don't like my first Grade 8 bass lesson?

We want you to find the perfect mentor. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you're not completely satisfied with your initial lesson, we'll find you another tutor for free.

Do I need my own bass guitar for online lessons?

Yes, for lessons at this advanced level, you will need your own bass guitar. You'll also need an amplifier and a reliable internet connection to get the most out of your sessions.

What other equipment do I need for online bass lessons?

Besides your bass and amp, you'll need a device with a webcam and microphone (like a laptop or tablet) and a stable internet connection. Some students find headphones useful for hearing the nuances of their playing and their tutor's instruction.

How do I find the right Grade 8 bass tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the styles you love, like jazz, fusion, or funk. Read their profiles, check their reviews from other advanced students, and watch their intro videos to get a feel for their teaching style before booking.

Are the tutors qualified to teach Grade 8 bass?

Absolutely. Our tutors for advanced grades are highly experienced musicians and educators. Many are university-level instructors or professional session players. Our strict vetting process, where only 1 in 8 applicants are accepted, ensures you're learning from the best.

Can a tutor help me prepare for a university audition or professional gig?

Yes, this is a perfect use for a Grade 8 tutor. They can help you polish your repertoire, refine your improvisational skills, and build the confidence needed to perform at a professional level.

What topics are covered in Grade 8 Bass?

Grade 8 typically covers advanced harmonic concepts, complex time signatures, sight-reading, advanced techniques (like slap, tapping, and chordal playing), and deep improvisational skills across various genres. Your tutor will tailor lessons to the specific syllabus you're following or your personal goals.

How does online tutoring for bass guitar actually work?

Lessons take place in our bespoke online classroom, featuring video chat and other learning tools. You and your tutor can see and hear each other clearly, allowing for real-time feedback on your technique, tone, and timing, just as you would in person.

How long is a typical online bass lesson?

Most students opt for 60-minute lessons, which provides ample time to warm up, work on technical exercises, and apply new concepts to musical pieces. However, you can arrange lesson lengths directly with your tutor.

Can I focus on a specific technique, like two-handed tapping?

Of course. The biggest advantage of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are tailored to you. You can tell your tutor you want to focus specifically on integrating advanced techniques with your improvisational vocabulary.
