Teachers in Kearns can sequence tuning, posture, fretting, plucking, muting, reading, bass tab, scales, arpeggios, and repertoire. The sequence can support kids, teens, adults, and returning players with school music near Kearns High and long-term bass growth, so families understand what to listen for during practice, so the teacher can keep the next goal specific.
