Mumbai -- The True School of Music, India’s first comprehensive institute of contemporary music offering students a specialization in Bass, with its unique Pro Bass Classes.
Pro Bass Classes are aimed at creating a versatile performer. The course enables students to learn different genres of music like Rock and Blues, Funk, R&B, Latin and Jazz that enable a musician to use these skills either in session or while on the stage. An understanding of these styles not only helps students in pursuing independent music but also commercial Bollywood and non-Bollywood music.
Julia Leggett, CEO, The True School of Music says, “The True School of Music has always encouraged cross-discipline study to impart to our students a broader skill set and access to a wide range of opportunities within the music industry. In order to achieve this, we have divided all courses into individual study modules enabling students to study modules from other disciplines in parallel to completing the course of their choice.”
Course Specification:
These classes will help students understand technicalities of the instrument and apply these during performances. For example, Bass guitar students will learn right and left hand techniques and rhythm.
By the end of Level One a successful student should be able to develop technique so that playing is comfortable and safe, play major and minor scales, play to a metronome to develop internal rhythm and timing, explain the importance of what the rhythm section does and be able to work with a drummer, develop a knowledge of different basses and pickups and manipulate them to get the right tone for stylistic purposes, build and play triads in a variety of positions and utilising open strings and develop an appreciation of style.
Students will have the opportunity to learn the bass lines from songs like “Heard it Through the Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye, “I Got You” by James Brown, “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King, “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath and “Fever” by Peggy Lee.
Course Faculty:
Gianluca Liberatore mentors this course. Liberatore started playing the Bass Guitar at 14 and studied in Italy at the Brass Group and the Open Jazz School of Mimmo Cafiero, attending masterclasses and having lessons with Harvie S, Reuben Rogers, Eric Revis, Eddie Gomez, Clark Cables, Gregory Hutchinson and others.
Courses are taught during the weekday, evenings and weekends and are designed to be full time or fit around either work or additional study commitments.
