Kristy Goodrow2024-07-23Our daughter has been working with Chancé for almost a year and we cannot express how thoroughly impressed we have been with her! Our daughter has made significant strides vocally under Chancé’s tutelage. Chancé is knowledgeable, has a great connection with our daughter, and is a wonderful influence.

Tara Bohle2024-06-06My 3 kids and I have been with Dark Mountain Music for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it! I'm always referring friends so I figured it's about time I left a review! lol The instructor is amazing and makes each lesson engaging and enjoyable. We take singing, piano and guitar lessons. Plus most recently music production. It's great that we can add or change instruments as we go without having to change studios or companies etc.. because they teach them all here. I also like that he comes to us for lessons instead of me having to drag my kids around. Super convenient that way. I've heard from many friends who are with other companies, that their younger kids don't enjoy piano lessons cause they're forced to work on classical music, but you get to play what you love here. You pick the songs to work on. Like my boys are learning video game music and current alternative music. Which is really cool to see and hear converted to the piano. I can't ever see us leaving Dark mountain music!
Amy B.2024-03-24I have been taking singing lessons with the absolutely amazing Julia for almost a year now and my experience has been wonderful! Julia is a fantastic teacher. I have grown so much in my time with her and I'm looking forwarded to continuing to push my vocal boundaries with her help. I recently started piano with her as well and I'm loving every minute. Julia is professional, patient, and most importantly, inspiring. My lessons are my favourite day of the week.

Do you offer group bass lessons or only private instruction?
As of now, our school solely focuses on providing private lessons. While we understand there are some benefits to group instruction, we prioritize the individual and find that a tailored lesson plan always provides the best outcomes. This way we can effectively address your specific challenges, refine techniques, and work on the music YOU want to work on. Throughout our years of teaching experience, we’ve found that this personalized approach ensures a more enriching and effective learning experience for our students.
How long will it take for me to play bass guitar well?
The time it takes to become a top-tier bassist can vary and depends on several factors including your natural aptitude for music and the amount of time you dedicate to your practice. With consistent practice and focus, many people can start playing simple bass lines and songs within a couple of months. However, to truly master the instrument, it can take several years of dedicated practice and guidance.
Simply put, you get what you put in! With hard work, dedication, and patience, anyone can steadily progress and achieve their goals.
What is the structure of your lessons? Do you follow a curriculum or customize each lesson?
Our bass lessons are all about having fun and getting inspired while working towards your musical goals. We focus on what you want to learn, not a rigid curriculum. Every lesson is personalized to match your interests, how you learn, and where you’re at skill-wise, keeping you pumped about your progress! Whether you want to jam out to your favourite tunes, improvise, or brush up on your ear training, we’ll craft a plan together to help you succeed.
