“What makes ACM different to other schools and colleges is that every tutor is a working professional. They have a collective knowledge of hundreds of years in the business. Not only is the level of instruction across disciplines second to none, but the school boasts the best facilities in any college anywhere.”
Paul Geary Performance School Commercial Development Manager

As an ACM Bass Diploma student, you can expect to be taught by some of worlds most acclaimed professional bassists and musicians – see our current Bass Tutors – and have access to a range of professional guitar and performance facilities such as the Musicman Bass Studio.

Bass Diploma students are encouraged to form bands in order to develop their individual repertoire and their band skills, while carrying out self-evaluation throughout the year to further develop their bass skills.

Successful completion of ACM’s Performance Diploma will allow bass students the opportunity to progress onto further academic study including an ACM Higher Diploma course.
