Our New Steady Track

In case you haven’t heard yet…

Music Theory for the Bass Player – The Course now comes in a bit of a more relaxed version: you get more time per unit.

When you sign up for our Course, Music Theory for the Bass Player, you receive new material at a weekly schedule. We set the course up that way because it is really tempting to dip in and out here and there and to peek ahead. We focus you on a unit at a time, it is easier to stay on track and focused.

But many participants told us that one unit a week is a bit much. Our Course covers technique, theory, bass line creation, note finding exercises, styles study, practice techniques, eartraining, and many creative groove creation exercises. It is all presented step by step so you can easily follow along. Yet after a week, many said they longed for more time to spend with that unit.

We have heard your requests – voila, here I present:

The Steady Track

Like the saying goes: “Slow and Steady wins the Race”:

Same course, slower pace – two weeks per unit!

Your Instructor

Hi. I'm Ari.

As a bassist, I have toured/played/recorded with a variety of rock, Jazz, and funk bands, I have worked with some incredible producers (Keith Olsen) and musicians (Paul Hanson, Muriel Anderson) and I toured Brazil with Stu Hamm as a duo.

As a bass teacher, I have taught at London Bass Day, Gerald Veasley’s Bass Boot Camp, SBL, Truefire, notreble… I even ran my own music school for a few years before gigs took me back on the road.

One thing to know about me is that I teach because I am absolutely fascinated with the learning process. And I am obsessed with helping others realize their musical potential.

When I started playing bass, I excelled very quickly because I had an amazing teacher who taught me using a powerful method. This method transformed my playing so quickly that I passed a bunch of high-level university auditions and even tested out of entire classes at university even though I had been playing for only a very short time.

That’s what, many years later turned into one of my books, co-written with Wolf Wein, called “The Pattern System for the Bass Player”. I created entire systems of learning based on some of these ideas and wrote books and created courses together with Wolf. Our bass books have sold over 30,000 copies and garnered rave reviews.

I started teaching online in 2009 and have embraced technology as a powerful learning tool since then, never losing sight of the importance of providing feedback and personalized guidance to learners.
