Ryan McClelland (Spokane Bass Lessons)

ABOUT

Hi. I'm Ryan McClelland, a professional bass player and teacher providing bass lessons in Spokane and Spokane Valley. I offer bass lessons at affordable prices for all levels of bass players, beginners to advanced. Most advanced bass lessons in Spokane become great jam sessions! It's always a pleasure to meet bass players in Spokane and share knowledge. I use my Bass Matter system for bass lessons and love to teach. I work out of music studios to provide bass lessons and also teach bass lessons online through the bassmatter page and skype to reach out beyond Spokane and Spokane Valley.

I've played for over 15 years. I play 4, 5 and 6 string basses but stick to 4 for almost everything.

As a dedicated Bass Instrumentalist, (My main Instrument) lessons will go beyond simply playing one note and basic musicianship.
