Gifts/Discounts: use “SBN19”

Have you heard about the BackBeat? 

The BackBeat is an exciting new device that turns your bass notes into vibrations you actually feel!  It’s wearable, portable and self-contained. It adds a whole new dimension to your playing experience!

I am a proud brand new endorser of this truly innovative new product which literally has your back like nothing else!

 

And here is gift 1:

Use code “SBN19” on BackBeat’s website (www.getbackbeat.com) and get their standard BackBeat package plus:

  • $25 off
  • Free cool case
  • Free shipping (US only)

Use this fast, it expires 11-17-2019

And by the way, adding the code will let BackBeat know that you are getting a free case. No need to add one in addition to your order. Using the code means: free case coming your way 🙂

 

But that’s not all… (gift 2)

My policy is to never offer a gift without adding one of my own to the mix. And here it is: Sign up for my Ear Training or Music Theory Course and get 20% off (offer good until Monday the 18th this month!).

Just key in that same promo code – SBN19 – during checkout to grab your 20% savings.

Choose a Fast Track or Steady Track for the Music Theory course, or fine-tune your ears with my new Ear Confidence course.

All these courses include access to my monthly live “Ask Ari” Q&A session and our interactive Forum.

 

These two offers are independent of each other. Take advantage of just one, or use both and save big!

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.
