Who are we? The Bass Academy is N. Ireland's first teaching facility dedicated to YOUR instrument. Lessons are given by experienced professional bassist Rod Patterson. Since graduating from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne College of Music and turning pro over 20 years ago, Rod has been much in demand worldwide -working on bass guitar and double bass in every type of musical situation imaginable from musical theatre tours, recording dates, concerts, TV & radio sessions, to several world cruise contracts. His work as a musical director includes seven years with UTV (Kelly) and three years with Irish Jazz & blues legend, Mary Coughlan. Where are we? The Bass Academy is situated outside the city centre in East Belfast (BT6) and is conveniently close to the A*5 outer ring road. What do we teach? The Bass Academy has students studying for Rockschool exams on bass guitar and for Royal Associated Board exams on Double Bass. We use a number of teaching methods including The Rabbath fi*****ng method for Double Bass and with both instruments there is a large element of playing along with tracks from our library which contains all styles of music - simulating, as closely as possible, actual playing situations. What if you don't wish to do an exam? The Bass Academy places a good deal more emphasis on getting your playing to the next level, and beyond - exams are very much optional but can help in this process.
