Why Bass Guitar is More Than Just a Hobby
Learning an instrument like the bass guitar teaches skills that go far beyond music. It builds discipline, focus, and creativity – qualities that are incredibly valuable for your child's academic work and future career. The dedication it takes to master a new song or a tricky scale translates directly into a stronger work ethic for their studies. It’s a fantastic way for them to express themselves, manage stress, and develop the confidence to collaborate with others, turning a personal passion into a skill for life.

Since I moved to London in February 2019, I've been offering tuition in various different fields, including Music Theory and Composition as well as various guitar-style string instruments, singing and piano.

Perry is Amazing, I highly recommend him to any one of any age or ability. Not only does he know his stuff but he builds off of your interests and incorporates it into your lessons. He is also one of the most encouraging teachers of a subject I have ever come across (and I’m 5 years into my Masters so I have had a lot of teachers!)

Oliver H
I had a session with Oliver when I was looking for a local bass tutor. I would not hesitate to recommend Oliver. He is friendly, approachable, listened carefully to my questions and offered useful comments and advice. Clearly he is a very talented musician who has dedicated himself to mastering his chosen instrument and alongside that an excellent teacher. His studio is a lovely, calm, spacious environment to have lessons.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in the New Forest where it's hard to find other young musicians. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. While our tutors provide one-to-one lessons, they are also brilliant mentors. They can build your child's confidence, help them prepare for auditions, and give them the skills and self-belief to seek out local bands or school music groups, helping to bridge that gap between solo practice and playing with others.
My child attends Brockenhurst College. Can a tutor help them balance bass practice with academic studies?
Yes, many parents share this concern. A tutor can help structure your child's practice time effectively, making it a positive and productive outlet rather than another source of pressure. Learning an instrument is proven to improve focus and discipline, which can have a great impact on their academic work too.
What if my child doesn't click with their first bass guitar tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer music tuition, or can you help with school subjects like Maths or English too?
We offer tutoring across a huge range of subjects and skills. Whether your child needs help with their GCSE Maths, A-Level French, or wants to learn a new skill like coding or another instrument, we have expert tutors ready to help.
How do I choose the right bass guitar tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience and qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
How much do online bass guitar lessons cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel confident you're choosing from the best.
How do online lessons work? What equipment do we need?
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a stable internet connection, and your child's bass guitar. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features video chat and other helpful tools. It's simple, secure, and easy to use.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence on the bass guitar?
By providing patient, one-to-one guidance, a tutor can help your child master techniques they find tricky and celebrate their progress. This personalised encouragement in a supportive environment is fantastic for building self-esteem, both in music and in general.
My child is a complete beginner. Is that okay?
Of course! Our tutors love working with students of all levels, from absolute beginners picking up a bass for the first time to more advanced players. They will start with the basics and tailor the lessons to your child's pace of learning.
How long is a typical lesson and how often should my child have one?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most parents find that a weekly session works best to build momentum and ensure consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works for your family directly with your chosen tutor.
Can my child get help with music theory as well as playing?
Yes, most of our bass guitar tutors are more than happy to incorporate music theory into their lessons. It's a great way to give your child a deeper understanding of the music they're playing. You can discuss your child's specific needs with tutors before you book.
