Lessons for every level

Whether your child is a complete beginner or already learning to play the bass guitar, lessons are matched to their level so they progress at a comfortable pace.

Expert instructors

Our bass guitar instructors have studied with some of Europe’s finest musicians and specialise in teaching children rather than adults.

Nurturing and supportive

Children are never judged or criticised. They are guided with patience and positivity, and every milestone is celebrated.

Building confidence

Our goal is to help children grow in confidence, discipline and a love for music that lasts a lifetime.

Our lessons are designed to be engaging, supportive, and tailored to each child’s individual learning style and pace. Instead of a rigid curriculum, we focus on building confidence and musicality through interactive exercises, simple basslines, and fun activities that make learning accessible and exciting.

As children progress, they develop finger coordination, rhythmic awareness, and essential playing techniques in a natural and enjoyable way. Our experienced instructors provide personalised guidance to ensure each child gains the skills they need to feel comfortable and confident on the instrument.

With a warm and encouraging atmosphere, we create the perfect space for young musicians to thrive. Whether your child is just starting out or looking to build on their skills, we offer expert instruction to help them grow into expressive and capable bass players.

At The Children’s Music Academy, we are passionate about nurturing young talent and making music a lifelong source of joy through the bass guitar.

Common questions

Where are the bass guitar lessons held?

In Fitzrovia, W1 — a few minutes from Oxford Circus and Great Portland Street — and in studios across Central London.

Who are the teachers?

Experienced performers and teachers who have studied under some of Europe’s finest musicians, and who specialise in teaching children rather than adults.

How are the lessons structured?

Weekly, on a set day and time. Each lesson builds technique, musical expression and confidence together rather than drilling one at the expense of the others, and the balance is matched to your child rather than to a fixed syllabus.

How long is each bass guitar lesson?

Lessons are 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Shorter lessons usually suit younger beginners; longer lessons suit children who are progressing towards more demanding repertoire.

When can my child start?

At any point in the year. Lessons are weekly on a set day and time, and are paid monthly.

Does my child need to have played before?

No. Complete beginners are welcome, and lessons are tailored to the level your child is starting from.

What if my child is not especially talented?

Then they are like almost every child who starts. Talent is not the entry requirement — attention is, and a good teacher builds that. Children are never judged or criticised here, and progress is measured against where your child began rather than against anybody else.

What is the minimum commitment?

Two months. Lessons are paid monthly, and notice of four teaching weeks can be given from the end of the first month — so the shortest possible commitment is two months.

A child who learns the bass guitar develops three gifts for life:
a trained ear, the discipline to master something difficult,
and the ability to express what words cannot.
These are gifts that remain long after childhood.
