About Double Bass Lessons
String instruments are an excellent and accessible starting point for young musicians as there are a variety of instrument sizes available to help with ease of play. Private lessons are also a great way to supplement group and orchestra classes as they provide tailored one-on-one instruction in an encouraging, personalized, and supportive learning environment. Instruments are available to rent from our in-house violin shop Quartet Violins.

- Students and instructors must wear face coverings during the lesson

- Please wait outside until your instructor is ready
- Lessons will end 5 minutes early to allow for proper cleaning and sanitizing of the rooms
