Bass Lessons
About Our Lessons
With a focus on accelerated learning techniques, RMI offers an individualized curriculum through private lessons. Lessons can be either ½ hr (30 minutes) or 1 hr (60 minutes). This one-on-one format is great for custom tailoring a program around your needs. Many students will often take a ½ hr private session along with a 60-minute Performance Band session per week to create a more well-rounded approach to their education.
Lessons can either occur weekly or more sporadicly as one-offs depending on the students preference. View Pricing and Policy details here.
ALL STYLES ARE WELCOME.
