Yolanda Charles' Bass Guitar Workshop And Rhythm Section Clinic

Premises Music Education Programme are delighted to welcome back Yolanda Charles MBE, internationally renowned bassist and songwriter, to run workshops over two days on the 20th and 21st of March 2025.

Her insights into all aspects of playing bass, as well as insider industry tips, have been invaluable not only to bass players but drummers as well, in previous courses here.

The first day is a session for electric bass players, which will offer a diagnostic approach to posture and finger positioning; exercises to improve fingerboard and plucking technique; riffing and phrasing; harmony basics; harmonic choices; rhythms and timing, and bassline construction via melodic structures. The day runs from 10-4pm with an hour’s lunch break, and there will be plenty of opportunity to practice. All this for £95! 

Now you can stop there, or join Yolanda again the next day with her Instra-mentals rhythm section clinic. 

This will be a shorter, intensive afternoon session: 2:30-5:30pm,…
