Learn Bass

Hayley has been brilliant at teaching in a way that just makes the lessons fun. She has piles of theoretical knowledge which comes through in the lessons in a slow and steady pace (just what I need). She's also a very kind and patient teacher, with a real passion for the Bass Guitar.

Hayley is a fantastic bass teacher. I started playing bass as an adult learner, and before starting with her I tried a couple of other teachers but couldn't connect with their style. I've been learning with Hayley for a year now (and counting!).
In that time my skill, knowledge and competence in the bass has come a long way under her guidance. As a teacher, she is very patient, compassionate and insightful. I always feel at the edge of my capability, in that ideal learning zone. Hayley is always quick to point out the progress I'm making, which is reassuring in those moments of self doubt!
She knows when to encourage me, when to take a different approach or change tack and try an alternative to keep me engaged in what I'm learning.
Hayley's great at applying the theory she's instructing me through the music that I enjoy playing, so I get a great sense of achievement as I level up.
I'd recommend Hayley to anyone who's thinking of starting or extending their bass playing.

Hayley is the absolute best. I am a novice player in my 40s, took up the bass in lockdown. Hayley got me to the point where I was confident to play 2 gigs! She’s really patient and has all the right advice.

Hayley is absolutely one of the best teachers I have encountered! Kind, patient, knowledgeable and extremely organised, she has helped me develop faster than I ever could have hoped in a method tailored to my learning style. If you’re looking for the best bass teacher in Melbourne, you’ve come to the right place!

I have been a student with Hayley for the past 6 years and in the time we have spent together I feel that I have moved from being a person who can play a bass to becoming a rounded musician.
We work on technique, theory, transcription, and repertoire. Hayley seems to intuitively know where I need to focus my effort so that I can maintain my enthusiasm when it comes to practice. I cannot overstate how much more I know about Bass playing and music than I did before I started to study.
I would recommend Hayley to Bass Players at any level of experience from an absolute beginner through to someone like myself, who picked up his Bass again at the age of 50. Chris Clark, Current Student of 6 Years

Hayley is an excellent teacher. Very easy to understand. She explained bass techniques I hadn't found anywhere else that made it so much easier to play. Highly recommend. Great for beginners to make sure you start with the correct form.

Haley is a fantastic music tutor. I have been with her for 5 months now and i have really progressed well. She tailors my lessons to music that i would like to play. She provides you with all the material that you need to practice and develop. Highly recommended

As someone with autism, Hayley really learns how I learn best and adapts accordingly - not only has Hayley got me playing my bass again, but she’s had me fall in love with playing all over again.

I usually struggle with remote lessons, and have had a few teachers remotely, but Hayley is the only one that really understands how I learn best - I wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you’re wanting to learn bass. Hayley is seriously a one-stop-shop when it comes to an amazing tutor and teacher.

I couldnt be happier with my lessons, Hayley is so patient and her communication skills are second to none. I had never picked up a base guitar until start of September and now I can play along to a Fleetwood Mac song Dreams. I am loving it, and it feels great to learn a new skill.

I would highly recommend Hayley as a teacher - she always explains things so clearly and is able to provide so many additional resources online which she spends considerable time putting together. She allows you to work at your own pace and I didn’t think I’d be this advanced in such a short period of time, especially as I am living in a different State.
