Bass Guitar Lessons Near Frankston
If you are searching for bass lessons in Frankston, here is some good news. My studio in Sandhurst is approximately 10 to 12 minutes from Frankston CBD – quicker than driving into the city, and an easy run from anywhere along the Frankston line. For families juggling school pick-ups and after-school schedules, that short travel time makes a real difference.
I am Jeremy LaBrooy, and I teach bass guitar exclusively. Not guitar. Not drums. Not keyboards. Just bass.
That focus matters. When you come to me for bass guitar lessons near Frankston, you get a teacher whose entire career is built around one instrument.
Why Frankston Students Choose a Specialist Bass Teacher
There are multi-instrument music schools in the Frankston area – Guitar Village being a well-known example. They cover a lot of ground. I go deep on one thing.
Teaching bass since 1990. A Diploma of Teaching (Primary) from Monash University and a Diploma of Arts (Music Improvisation) from the Victorian College of the Arts. Past VCAA examiner for VCE Solo Performance (Bass) Units 3 & 4. Jeremy spent years as Senior Bass Guitar Teacher at Haileybury’s Keysborough campus – students from Keysborough are just 15 minutes from his studio. Returned to Haileybury in 2024 on contract. Jeremy taught at Killester College in Springvale – bass students from Springvale make the short drive south to his studio in Carrum Downs. Working With Children Check current. Students selecting works for their program can refer to the VCE Electric Bass Prescribed Works page for the full list.
I have coached students into auditioned places at the VCA and Monash University music degrees. That is the level of preparation behind every lesson – regardless of whether your goal is a VCE result, a spot in a local band, or simply playing the songs you love.
Who These Lessons Are For
Students from Frankston High School, Frankston Secondary College, Peninsula Grammar, and Woodleigh School in Langwarrin South regularly make the short trip to Sandhurst. If you are at one of those schools, you already know how close it is.
Adults are just as welcome. Whether you want to learn bass in Frankston as a complete beginner or you are returning after years away from the instrument, private one-on-one lessons move at your pace. No group classes, no wasted time.
What You Will Actually Learn
Here is what bass guitar lessons with me looks like in practice:
- Playing songs you love. We start with music that motivates you – real songs, not just dry exercises.
- Solid technique. Right-hand position, left-hand framing, muting, and timing. The foundations that prevent bad habits and unlock more advanced playing later.
- Reading music. You will learn to read notes on the stave. It is not as difficult as people expect, and it opens doors that playing by ear alone cannot.
- Band-ready skills. Locking in with a drummer, holding a groove, navigating rock, funk, jazz, and R&B. The skills that make you genuinely useful when a band needs a bassist.
- Advanced techniques when you are ready. Slapping, muted thumb, tapping, double stops. There is always a next level.
Frankston has a real live music culture – the foreshore, the local venues, the scene that keeps growing. Bass is the foundation of every band that plays there. If you want to be part of it, you need to know your instrument properly.
Places Are Limited
