Menno Verbaten Bass Lessons

I had a wonderful experience having Menno as my bass instructor at Musicians Institute. He focused on the fundamental role of the bass in songs. This is exactly what I needed personally so I can play music for enjoyment. He let me describe what was important for me to learn and he taught based on that. He is the best!!

Menno is one of the most knowledgeable, and versatile, musicians Ive ever had the pleasure of working with. He is critical; but he voices his criticisms in a way that motivates and inspires you to improve. Plain and simple, he will make you a better musician by working with him in any capacity.

He is arguably the best bass player I have ever met. His influence on my playing is unquestionable, and has made me a better musician in all areas. He has a great wealth of knowledge in all things music, ranging from technique to Harmony and Theory, reading, and essentially everything bass. He is the complete package and a professional among professionals.
