At the Music Depot we offer the finest guitar lessons in Montgomery County, PA from our classic and newly renovated music studio. Since you’ve landed on our Guitar & Bass Lessons page we thought we should tell you something about our instruction program, what you will learn when taking lessons and a bit about our guitar and bass instructors.

The bass guitar is one of the most fundamental, important, and prevalent instruments in all of popular music. If you’re listening to music – regardless of the musical style – chances are there’s a bass being played on the recording!


For those who want to be gigging musicians and play in an active, local band, bass is a great choice because bands are always looking for a bassist and many bass players in our Philly region are playing in multiple bands year round. From Paul McCartney to Sting, Geddy Lee and Esperanza Spalding, some of the most popular singers and composers have been bass players!

Popular Questions

  • How is the bass different from a normal guitar?

     The bass guitar is actually tuned like a guitar, but an octave lower and with only 4 strings rather than 6. It's as if you're playing a guitar with the first and second strings missing! This makes it easy for guitarists to switch over to studying bass and vice versa. Also, music for bass is notated on the bass clef, whereas the guitar is notated using the treble clef. If you've taken piano lessons, you'll be familiar with both the bass and treble clefs. 

  • Do I need a bass guitar and amplifier to get started?

     Not to get started! In fact, you can come to your first lesson with us empty-handed and we'll have everything you need for you or your student to get playing! Then, you can stop by our front desk and we'll email you our best recommendations for a bass guitar and practice amp once you are ready to make the investment at a low-cost entry point.

  • Do you offer virtual lessons?

    Yes! We offer virtual and in studio lessons!
