Learning Goals
This course is primarily for beginning musicians. No previous music lessons or bass guitar experience is needed.
I will be teaching students basic music theory, ear training, proper bass technique, and rhythm playing so that students will be able to effectively learn any song on their own once they finish this course. Learners can expect me to model, use visuals, and audio examples in order for concepts to be fully grasped. I also find that when students feel the rhythm and beats of songs, it is easier for them to internalize it - be prepared to clap or tap your foot!

To tune your learner's bass guitar you can use the Fender Tune app listed in 'External Resources.'
Download the app and play each string for the app to hear if it's in tune or not. You can always message me if you need extra help or have any questions. I will also go over this in week one.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from The Master's University
Hi, I'm Teacher Monica (she/they) - a musician, artist and martial artist. I am passionate about teaching, traveling the world, and creating art.
I have experience teaching in the 1-on-1, small group, classroom and taekwondo studio settings. I worked as a middle and high school choir and fine art teacher at a Waldorf school, but I also have experience with teaching early elementary aged learners in private and small group music and art classes. I also trained as a head instructor at a Martial Art studio.
As an experienced educator, I believe that every child can become what they dream and achieve their goals. All learners deserve a well-planned, differentiated education. I am an energetic and passionate teacher and do my absolute best to model to my students so they have an example of what having a passion for learning and creating art or music looks like.
I have been teaching music for 20 years and received my Bachelor of Music in Music Education in 2014. This helped me achieve a firm grasp on the art of teaching music in both a group or private lesson setting. I also learned so many tools on how to study, read, and analyze music, which helps me guide my students into being confident performers and analyzers of their pieces.
Fun facts:
I have three cats named Atoka, Calcifer, and Bagels.
I have a second-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
