Bass Lessons

If you love them thumpin’ bass lines, you know that a bass is a lot more than a guitar with a couple of missing strings. Come and take bass lessons from teachers that share your love for the low, low tones.

We customize each bass lesson plan to each student. Our scheduling is flexible and we believe that bass lessions should be affordable for everyone. Silver Music Studios was founded to provide quality music instruction for everyone: every age… every level… every style.

Bass lessons are available in our Havertown studio and we also offer bass lessons online.

Beginner Bass Lessons

For beginners, Silver Music Studios balances the technical teaching needed to get started right away (who wants to wait to start jammin’?) with the theory and music appreciation needed to create a solid foundation. You’ll understand why you’re learning (and practicing) what you’re learning, and how it relates to your goals as a musician.

Intermediate and Advanced Bass Lessons

You won’t outgrow Silver Music Studios as you transition from a beginner to a more accomplished student. For the intermediate and advanced student, our instructors can craft individualized lesson plans geared to your specific musical goals.

Thank you for so much for your positive encouragement and mentoring of Ted. His life has been changed both musically and personally.

Scott and his staff are simply AMAZING. Scott is my teacher and he is so patient, knowledgeable, and determined to get you to a higher playing level. He teaches, explains the theory behind the teaching and is your personal pep squad. I've only had four lessons with him but I'm now so inspired and excited to learn guitar and I blame him (mostly). I was learning from online instruction and although I learned allot, I felt that I was still missing something. I found it in Scott's teachings. He shows you what you are doing incorrect (not in a scarcastic way mind you), then gives you a more simpler way which you would probably have to search the internet or YouTube before finding it. While waiting for my lesson, I can hear the other instructors with their students and they give the same high level of understanding, knowledge, and encouragement to their students that Scott does with me. The outcome that you'll get from learning at Silver Music Studios is well worth the fee and then some. Even if you don't live in the area, I strongly recommend giving Silver Music Studios at least one try and you'll see what I mean. Although I'm learning guitar late in life, I'm finally fulfilling a dream and I feel that with Scott's continued teachings and my commitment to learn and practice, I will soon be at a level to where I can truly enjoy my instrument. Thank you Scott and the Staff at Silver Music School for renewing my faith in others as well as faith in myself.

Love this music studio! Teachers are doing an awesome job! We use for piano and guitar. I’m very happy with the flexibility of the appointments and progress with my kids. Convenient location on West Chester Pike. I can drop them off for lessons and run to Acme to pick up a few things.

I’ve been taking guitar and voice lessons from Scot for three years now, and I’m not being dramatic when I say my experience with Scot has been one of the most amazing opportunities of my life. Scot was born to be a teacher. Even as a complete beginner, he treated me with respect and patience. As my skills developed, he pushed me to take chances and introduced me to other like-minded musicians, so that I’d have a network of other people with whom to play and sing. He’s encouraging, good at explaining even challenging concepts, he listens to me, and has worked to help me meet every goal I set for myself. You couldn’t pick a better music school, or teacher.

Great family like atmosphere and knowledgeable teachers. Made many of my musical connections through this school and have been given plenty of incredible opportunities to express myself and perform.
