DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED STUDENTS.
I’d always been on a quest to find the perfect book or system to help me become the musician I wanted to be. The problem I’d continuously encountered was that the lessons were structured very mechanically, which didn’t allow me to implement what I was studying into my playing in a way that felt natural or creative.
- Tony Grey
THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND OUR CURRICULUM IS BASED PURELY IN CREATIVE LEARNING.
WE CAN DEVELOP QUITE RAPIDLY BY LEARNING ACADEMIC THINGS IN A CREATIVE WAY.
WHAT DOES CREATIVE LEARNING LOOK LIKE?
If you’re learning a scale, instead of just learning it — learn how to make melodies with it, how to create bass lines with it, how to compose with it, how to improvise with it, and most importantly learn how to hear and feel it all over your instrument so that the only thing holding you back is the limitation of your own imagination. That's creative learning.
ONCE YOU WORK THROUGH THE LESSONS IN THIS WAY YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO BACKTRACK IN ORDER TO REFRESH IDEAS; YOU'RE JUST BUILDING YOUR VOCABULARY AS YOU MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE COURSE MATERIAL. IN THE PROCESS YOU'LL LEARN TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN CREATIVE VOICE AS A MUSICIAN.
THE ENDLESS SEARCH...
Wherever you are in this world, you've learned everything you know about music because you've spent countless hours searching for the answers in instructional books, DVD's, YouTube videos, online membership sites, private lessons, transcribing your favorite players and so much more...
If you're anything like I was, you're probably still left with the question,
"WHAT AM I MISSING AND WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?"
BASS ACADEMY PHILOSOPHY
The Philosophy that stands behind our teachings encourages UNLEARNING everything you already know about music in order to RELEARN it in a creative way.
THE DIFFERENCE YOU'LL SEE IN YOUR PLAYING WILL ASTOUND YOU!
I appreciate the idea of relearning things. Imagine being able to relive your youth with all of the knowledge you'd accumulated over the years.
Vince Caccamo
Relearning the basics in a way that establishes good practice habits is absolutely essential in developing a solid foundation for thorough academic understanding and creative exploration. Otherwise we find ourselves trapped in old patterns that prevent us from tapping into any true self-expression and our improvisations end up becoming predictable and frustrating.
