Is Your Child Interested in Learning to Play an Instrument?

Learning a new instrument has never been more accessible than with Bassline Pro. Now, your child can take their pick: learn to play guitar, keyboard, or both!

This might be a dream: a kosher way to play an instrument online without leaving the home, no carpooling necessary? A productive outlet they’ll love that’ll keep them from telling me constantly, “I’m bored!”

Your child can learn to play the keyboard or guitar… and play really well, too! Shmuel Bassman, one of the top keyboardists in the Jewish world and owner of Bassline Pro, has been teaching children how to play keyboard by ear for 15 years. Yisroel Meir Rowner has been giving guitar lessons for the past 15 years in Lakewood, and now he joined Shmuel to teach guitar to the Jewish community at large using his unique, play by ear method.

Why go virtual? Virtual lessons are much more affordable than in-person lessons, and more convenient too. Now with a USB preloaded option available (no internet needed!) or online video lessons, Bassline Pro’s lessons are tried-and-true, super effective, and make learning a new instrument fun. And yes, they really learn! Your child will build confidence as music fills your home (but if you don’t want to hear them practice, one keyboard perk is that they can play using headphones too).

To give it a test run, we had one of our own children try it out. This child had expressed interest in learning to play an instrument in the past, but we simply weren’t able to arrange it (which instrument? Who could teach them? And when? And how much would it cost?). But this couldn’t be easier. She could learn on her own schedule at less than a quarter of the price of in-person lessons (and it’s wayyyy more convenient for mom, too).

Once we logged her in and clicked on the first lesson, she was tapping away and enjoying it… and now she can’t wait for the next one. Depending on your child’s schedule and budget, they can take either one lesson weekly (and rewatch it as long as they like) or, if they’re super excited to progress quickly, take two lessons weekly. Unlike in-person lessons, these are available to watch again and again as long as you’re subscribed to the program. There’s also “homework” so your child knows what to practice so they can build on their skills between lessons too. 

It doesn’t matter where you are (Bassline Pro students are located worldwide) or how old you are (children, teens, adults, and even seniors have been taking the lessons). “If your child does love music – in a matter of months or possibly weeks, they’ll be playing songs they love with two hands and the beat,” says Shmuel Bassman. And he’s committed to making sure every student, whether in-person or online, succeeds. 

There is no downside! Bassline Pro is FREE for the first week, so there’s nothing to lose if you’d like to try it out to see if it clicks with your child. Plus, there’s no commitment necessary. Once you sign up, you can cancel whenever you like.

“My 12-year-old son is a few months into his online keyboard lessons and is more pumped each week to keep at it!… Everything about the program is perfectly organized, making it so easy for us to let him run with it. He is looking forward to “mastering” the keyboard and sees that with Bassline lessons it can really happen!” -Rabbi B.

“My son absolutely loved the online lessons! He could not wait each week for the new lesson. They were very clear and easy to understand. My son has really gained a lot and has become a much better player. Would recommend it to anyone as we had a great experience!”  -Rivka

“I feel like I have to publicize what an amazing music course Shmuel Bassman is offering! The lessons are given over in a very pleasant and crystal clear manner, step by step. I especially enjoy having the convenience of having it all at home. Shmuel is super nice, and customized a plan especially for me, according to my level (he can do it for anyone). I must say–this is the way to go!” -Mrs. W.

Shmuel Bassman, one of the top keyboardists in the Jewish music world, has been teaching boys to learn to play keyboard by ear for 15 years. Many are even playing professionally. “I love teaching music… and have gotten requests over the years from people who live out of town. I didn’t, though, have an option for them. Now, I’m excited to tell everyone that my keyboard lessons are available online and by USB!” he says.
