FAQ

About this course

Can a complete beginner learn bass?

Yes. We start with holding the instrument, right-hand technique and simple grooves, then lock in with drums and pop lines. Ideal if you like bands.

How is bass different from guitar?

Bass holds the harmonic and rhythmic floor — usually four strings and lower pitch. Lessons are one-to-one; you can book guitar separately if you want both.

Do I need my own bass for class?

No. Use a school bass. For home practice we can suggest a starter four-string and headphone practice — you do not need a large amp first.

Can complete beginners join?

Yes. Every course has a beginner track; your teacher sets the starting point from the trial assessment.

How long and how often are lessons?

Usually 45 or 60 minutes once a week; exam sprints or adult intensives can be more frequent.

Do I need my own instrument?

Lessons use our instruments. Ask an advisor about rental or purchase options for home practice.

How much do lessons cost?

Fees depend on the instrument, level and lesson length (45 or 60 minutes). After a trial, an advisor gives a clear quote with no hidden fees; monthly or package options are available.

Which campus offers this course? Can I switch?

Rua da Barca, Fai Chi Kei and Rua do Campo share the same syllabus. Most instruments and art can be taken at the nearest campus or transferred; progress follows the student. Online piano can be taken at home.
