BASS

The bass is one of the most underrated instruments, yet one that is fundamental to the overall sound of the band. If you love rhythm, and think you're pretty groovy, then why not learn to play bass?

Band program

Learning is best when put into context. As our musicians develop their skills they will have the opportunity to form a band with other Studio 8 rockers. Bands will receive regular coaching from their mentor. 

These bands work towards a range of different performance opportunities.
