Learn to play the double bass
The double bass — the classical counterpart to the electric bass — is one of the most versatile instruments you’ll ever encounter. It features in chamber music and Viennese classics, but also powers genres like jazz, rock ’n’ roll, and rockabilly. Not only is the double bass visually striking, it captivates with its deep, resonant sound. Often described as a giant violin, it provides acoustic depth and powerful stability to orchestral arrangements. Curious to explore it for yourself? Home Music Teachers offers professional double bass lessons in your own living room.
The Double Bass: Foundation of the Modern Bass Guitar
The double bass is the forerunner of today’s electric bass and plays a similar role in orchestras as the electric bass does in bands. With its large size and rich tone, the double bass is impressive both musically and visually. It offers tonal flexibility — whether played with a bow (arco) or by plucking (pizzicato). At Home Music Teachers, you’ll learn to play the double bass step by step, guided by experienced teachers who tailor lessons to your style and goals.

Understanding the Double Bass
The double bass comes in various sizes to suit different body types. For children, smaller models like 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 are available — though it’s still a large instrument requiring some strength due to thick strings. That’s why many young students start with violin or cello. Adults typically play on a 3/4 bass, while 4/4 is standard in orchestras. Whatever your goal, our teachers help you learn the double bass with proper technique on the right-sized instrument.
