Classes are fun and present lots of things to learn and apply.
After only a few lessons with Ari I've learned a lot of new things to apply in my playing. The classes have also re-sparked my enthusiasm for practicing and playing. Ari has a fun and easygoing teaching style, and each lesson presents many new ideas and concepts to work on. Very glad I became a member!
Ari's is the place
When you join this blog, you will find a series of well thought out sessions on various aspects of playing the bass guitar. there are also several more advanced courses regarding music theory that, for me, have clarified points that I've just faked my way around up until now.
Customer service is excellent. From musical questions to some technical difficulties getting my Zoom account connected, Ari and her people have always been patient and helpful. If you have any interest in learning to play bass or improving your technique or knowledge, I definitely recommend Ari's Bass Blog
Best bass teaching method and awesome teacher
I've been part of the Beta course "Music Theory For The Bass Player" and have re-done it three times. There's so much material involved, you always discover new aspects and light bulbs lit when you go over things again and again.
One of the key aspects of this course is INTERACTING. I mean students have to record themselves and post videos once every two weeks on a dedicated platform. Videos are visible for all students. It's motivating to see others progress and gets even more when you receive nice comments and congratulations about your video.
There's also a monthly Zoom live meeting where students can ask questions to Ari and show what they're working on.
If you have any special question, Ari can be joined by mail. She's there to help you.
Currently doing "The Pattern System" course. It's her second course that goes beyond what 's taught in the MTFTBP course.
A talented teacher
A talented teacher as well as a talented bassist. The teaching materials get straight down to business (no waffle) and are extremely well thought out. Can thoroughly recommend this website as the perfect starting point for continuing your bass journey no matter what level you're currently at.
Nurture your inner bass player!
Great web site for learning to play bass guitar. Be inspired, educated and most importantly have fun discovering your bass groove. Lots of videos, information and networking with other aspiring bass players. Learn about the culture of bass and who’s who in the bass world. Ari’s is a fantastic teacher - knowledgable, enthusiastic and inspiring. I love how her into, intermediate and advance practice sessions follow the same format each week with different levels of theory, technique and application. Missed a live session? No problem, all the videos are posted for streaming at your own time convenience. I’ve looked at a lot of online bass lessons over the years and this is the by far the best!
Clear instruction
Clear instruction, honest information, and quality service.
A Great Place to Learn Bass!
Very informative and to the point lessons and information. Very worthwhile. Wide selection of Bass related topics from Improv to Theory to Technique.
Understanding Music is better with Ariane
I have learned a lot from Ariane. She explains musical concepts in a clear and concise way. Always a pleasure to be in her lessons.
Would recommend highly.
A great teacher of bass guitar technique and music theory applications
Ari is a fantastic teacher who gives live online group lessons that cater for all levels of bass player from beginner to advanced. She breaks down songs and shows how to use them to practice your technique, analyses them for music theory applications that you can use in other areas of your playing. Classes are friendly and lots of fun and there is no pressure to perform. A great way to progress your bass playing with a supportive and friendly online community and Ari is an amazing teacher.
Arianna Cap is Amazing
This is an incredible site. The opportunities are endless to learn everything that you ever wanted to know about the bass guitar. Ari has classes and is eager to assist if you need clarification on a subject. The other members are supportive and we share experiences of practice and gigging. I cannot say enough good things about this site.
Ari is a masterful educator
Ari is a masterful educator, I find. What a pleasure it is to practice with clear goals and structure.
"You don't know your limits," I recall Ari said once, and she proves this true. I feel much stronger as a bassist in every way for this experience. I recommend arisbassblog to all my bassist friends.
Best bass teacher by far!
If you are looking for an online bass instructor, look no further! I am a 30 year music teacher myself (voice, piano and guitar) and I speak from experience when I say Ariane Cap is an incredibly gifted teacher who's method of teaching is so comprehensive yet easy to grasp and who has a unique ability to make everyone of her students feel important and valued, no matter what level they are at. She is a highly effective and caring instructor. I highly recommend you take a course from Ariane and experience what I am raving about for yourself!
Great content and customer support!
Exceptional Bass Education Inside....
I have used Ari's learning materials for years. Both her books 'Music Theory for the Bass Player' and the follow up 'Pattern System for the Bass Player' are the only 2 books i use now when practicing. Ari is exceedingly encouraging and supportive and one of the friendliest people you could meet. The resources and community available through arisbassblog.com is superb and i would encourage anyone who wants to improve their playing enormously to join as its exceedingly good value and very nurturing and educational environment. Awesome job Ari !!
I couldn’t live without it!
I couldn’t live without it. She brings deep musical knowledge of all styles and teaches all levels and it’s fun! She knows how to teach— what works and what doesn’t. I play jazz, and she has been my teacher for over 8 years. But I’ve also learned Bossa, Reggae etc. With her. This new “community” way of teaching is the best yet. I can either attend live or view past sessions as much as i want to.
Ari is a great professional
Ari is a great professional, you can absolutely trust her.
Ari rocks!
Ari is an incredibly accomplished bassist with an accessible and practical teaching style. Her classes are engaging and she is a large part of the reason why my bass playing has improved dramatically over the last three years!
She keeps it real, groovy and entertaining. Five stars!
Thank you, Ari!
Ari is a great teacher. She relates well to her students and makes the process fun. I consider myself an ‘intermediate’ player and she’s given me a lot of good cues to improve my playing.
Dedicated, positive, knowledgeable
Ari is the most positive and dedicated instructor you could find. She is super knowledgeable about all things bass and all things music theory, and always willing to share her expertise in the most positive manner. She's the leader of a great community of bass players and students, and really cares about providing a quality experience and firm educational foundation to all. It's a pleasure to study with her :)
Ari is a wonderful teacher!
Ari is a wonderful teacher and I love attending the live classes in her membership program. She is passionate about helping students become better bass players!
