Electric bass schools
- Thread starter Rhegedor
- Start date
I believe M.I. (Musicians Institute) in California has a bass program...supposed to be really really good from what I've heard. I know one of their former students (Chris Letchford of Scale the Summit) and he said it was a better school than Berklee for guitar. Don't know if you are out in Cali, but if it's really want you want it may be worth the move and living expenses.
Seven Questions:
1.Do you take bass lessons now?
2.Do you study piano as well?
3.Do you study theory?
4.Can you read music?
5.Are you a member of your school music department or church music group?
6.Have you taken the PSATs/SATs/ACTs (though Berklee does not require them...for some reason)?
7.Are you independently wealthy, will never need to work for a living, and able to pay the full tuition/room and board to “bass school”?
If the answer to any of the first six question is “no”, then forget it, unless the answer of the seventh question is “Yes”. In that case, any hack “school” will welcome you with open arms for “four years of a great time”.
