It’s never been more accessible to learn your instrument of choice and play your favorite Jewish music with Bassline Pro.
Before Bassline Pro, there was no platform where a child could learn to play an instrument remotely in a kosher way. Children want to learn to play an instrument by learning the Jewish songs they love. The Bassline Pro platform transcended geographic location or age. It wasn’t just young boys in a studio–it was for anyone!
Now, finally, the availability of guitar lessons will give an even wider range of musically inclined children and adults this opportunity.
A lot of people have been waiting for this. “People have been asking me to feature guitar lessons on Bassline Pro,” Shmuel Bassman tells us. Shmuel is one of the top keyboardists in the Jewish world and the founder of the online/USB platform for music lessons, Bassline Pro. “And we finally found the right person. Yisroel Meir Rowner has been giving guitar lessons in Lakewood for over 15 years–he’s charismatic, clear, professional, and teaches so well—and now his lessons are available to the Jewish community at large!”
Introducing: Online and USB Guitar! Shmuel and Yisroel Meir have been working together for over the past year, creating the curriculum, video lessons, and homework sheets. “The guitar program is going to have the same structure as the highly successful keyboard lessons at Bassline Pro. As long as they’re signed up, students can go back and review each video lesson as often as they like [that’s one perk over live lessons], and Bassline is there for the students for customer service and guidance. There’s a very organized structure–parents can see what students are accomplishing. And–there’s no commitment. If it doesn’t click, it doesn’t need to continue–they can cancel anytime. So it really can’t hurt to try.”
Now, music is open to any Jewish child who wants to learn. Not everyone has access to an instructor. Not everyone wants to invest in private lessons. Not everyone is able to carpool–Bassline Pro makes learning either keyboard–or guitar–easy and accessible! And, no, you don’t need to have internet to access the lessons. Both the keyboard and guitar lessons are also available via USB that’s preloaded with all the lessons and materials. Just plug it into the computer and start playing. Whether you’re accessing your classes from the website or the USB, the whole system is sleek, fun, and easy-to-use.
What Do the Kids Say? 13-year-old Avi tells us, “I love playing keyboard–it gives me an outlet, it’s geshmak! It’s so much fun, and the better you get, it’s even more and more fun. Plus–it’s nice to be able to do something and see people impressed. It feels good!”
Shlomo has only been taking lessons for a little more than a year–and he’s amazing.“By the end of the first round of lessons, I could begin to figure out songs by myself. But it was in the second round that I was playing by ear. During the third round, Shmuel upps the level and I learned harder songs. Every time it was different.” Even though keyboard players can use headphones (the whole house doesn’t need to hear you practice), Shlomo does not–his family loves to hear him play.
What about the parents? Rachel tells us, “Our son loves the online lessons; he has really taken to playing the keyboard. We love the sounds of Jewish music playing in the house!”
Mo has been impressed, “My son enjoyed every minute and I’m blown away with how professional he sounds.”
Shaya is impressed with how quickly his son picked it up, “My 12 year old son found the online course to be very easy to follow and by the time he finished the course he was a phenomenal player B”H. – P.S. Their customer support is awesome as well, extremely accommodating.”
Give your child the opportunity now to be the next accomplished keyboard or guitar player (or both!)–it’s never been more doable. Take your pick!

Rabbi Rowner is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING he has the warmest personality and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He’s a huge Talmud chochom as well and was such a great influence and inspiration for my son!
