Popular Songs & Artists

We’re not in the business of teaching students how to play songs. We’re in the business of creating brilliant bass guitarists. Instead of teaching you how to play songs like parrots, we use them to practice the techniques and theory that are covered during the lessons. You’ll be mastering songs, and the skills that go along with them.



one on one Lessons

We believe in offering only the highest quality, highest value bass lessons to our students. We offer private one on one classes. Each student attending receives personal attention. This allows our students to grasp techniques from day one.



Timing is everything

Students receive one 30 minute class per week. 30 minutes is the perfect amount of class time. It provides enough time to review work that was done the previous week, as well as cover new material.



Step By Step Classes

We have developed easy to follow, step by step classes for our students. This takes the guess work out of the playing journey. Each lesson progresses into the next. This ensures that your skill level and knowledge increases with each lesson. This way you will never feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to begin.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I cannot recommend Music with Mario enough! My instructor Martin is absolutely wonderful. He is kind, calm and patient, and genuinely makes every lesson something to look forward to.

As someone who works full time and studies on the side, my schedule can get hectic and I sometimes have to miss a lesson. Martin and the team are so understanding about this and there is never any fuss or pressure, which honestly means the world to me. I just pick up where I left off and continue practising at home in my own time.

It is rare to find an instructor who makes you feel so at ease, and Mario and Martin have created something really special here. Thank you both so much, I truly look forward to continuing this journey with you!

I’ve had such a great experience with Mario Music School! 🎸

My guitar learning journey with them has been both enjoyable and rewarding. The instructors are patient, skilled, and really know how to make lessons engaging, whether you’re a beginner or improving your technique.

I’ve grown so much in confidence and ability, and I genuinely look forward to every session. The environment is supportive, and they make learning music feel fun rather than overwhelming.

Highly recommend Mario Music School to anyone wanting to start or improve their guitar skills or any musical instruments

Great service. Been learning violin and im doing well. What started out as a free lesson turned into a full fledged hobby.

A bit on the pricy side if you’re looking for something quite reasonable (im a student) look elsewhere but it’s worth it and that’s why I’ve stayed and seen it through. Super thorough and very easy to work with team.

Excellent service. Teachers are professional, on time, friendly and attentive to the ward they teach. From zero knowledge of violin play and note reading to a growing grasp and understanding of how to play.

I've been wanting to learn the guitar for a while now, having first started in 2020, learning on my own, it's been on and off.

I decided last month to try Music with Mario & Friends and I am super impressed with this school.

Mario responds to requests efficiently, the reception area is warm and welcoming and my teacher Martin is amazing.

I expressed my goals during our trial lesson and he has tailored my lessons to meet my goals.

I can see he loves what he does and his passion & enthusiasm is contagious, he makes learning fun. I have only had 2 lessons so far but I am loving my lessons, and look forward to see where my journey unfolds.

Thank you Mario & Martin

Picking up a new instrument as an adult can be daunting, but Martin together with Music with Mario and Friends, made the journey both approachable and inspiring.

I’ve taken bass lessons for over a year and their patience, professionalism, and passion for music helped me progress far more than I imagined. Every lesson was tailored to my level, goals and made my progress consistent and enjoyable.

I’m deeply grateful for the skills, confidence, and encouragement I’ve gained as it will continue to shape my journey. Much appreciation. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to grow as a musician!

I wish I could allocate more than 5 stars to this amazing school!! We're going on 2 years' piano lessons with Mario and team, and this has been the best decision for our 9 yo son. Our son's piano coach, Jayson, is phenomenal in fostering his talent and nurturing his strengths. He has been patient with going at our pace, and incorporates practical with theory in a way that makes it easy to understand the expectations when practicing at home. With his coaching, our son has developed the discipline to practice without being told, a passion for all things piano, and a maturity with his craft that makes us proud!
Mario and team are friendly, fun, professional and organised. The facilities are always clean, modern, welcoming, and everything has always run smoothly and been in working order. Mario's communication is clear, on time and puts you at ease when planning and getting your money's worth, and then some. Sound advice and guidance is given, and your questions are always answered with empathy and passion!
This holistic approach is what you sign up for, and they come through every single time.

At the beginning of the year I realized I needed something in my life that wasn’t about work—something creative and just for me. So I decided to start learning bass guitar, and I’m so glad I chose Music with Mario to begin my journey! My instructor, Martin, has been so amazing. I’m learning so much and genuinely having a great time doing it 🙂

I have been attending piano lessons at Music with Mario and Friends for 2 months and have loved the whole experience. The teachers are knowledgeable and patient. I look forward to the rest of the journey with the team. Thank you for the support and encouragement in achieving this aspiration 🙏

Muisc with MARIO is a great set up of professional music enthusiasts who love to share their mastery with others. The instructors I dealt with to date are caring beyond their mastery in the art.
Mario himself is a kind, approachable person who cares about students and their needs with a big smile.

The centre is big and offers many options for music lovers.

Akailyn Miakista

If you happen to be on the lookout for a fantastic guitar tutor then look no further than Mario. His enthusiasm for teaching the skill coupled with his progressive teaching style means you will quickly improve your guitar playing. He is quite adept at progressing those - like myself with no previous guitar experience at all - to playing full songs only after a few months. He carefully structures lessons short enough to get through the fundamentals whilst also making sure the content remains fun and relevant.
His energy and passion to teach guitar is quite apparent as is his level of patience.
I highly recommend him to anyone thinking about adding the skill of playing guitar to their existing repertoire.
Don't overthink it, start your guitar journey soon by giving him a call. 🎸🎶

I have no musical background whatsoever and have always wanted to play guitar and I thought it was just a dream, but Music with Mario made it possible.

I am having so much fun, they have made it so easy to learn how to play and my teacher Sergio is fantastic. He makes it so much fun and interesting. Can't wait for my next lesson.

Thanks guys! Keep up the great work

Candy van der Zon

Both my children, aged 9 and 12, thoroughly enjoy their lessons with Sergio. Sergio is great teacher, patient and supportive, and they come out of every lesson having improved. Having found Mario and Sergio has brought back my kids’ enjoyment of playing guitar, and for that I am extremely happy and grateful.

Whoever has a passion for guitar playing and thought that it’s impossible for them like I thought before coming to Music With Mario , I tell you that that’s the best place for you to live your passion. A very big thank you to Music With Mario for making my dream come true. Also the best place for teaching your kids the art of playing the guitar 🎸❤️

My experience with Music with Mario has been exceptional. They are professional and relate to you as an individual which makes learning easier and quicker. I was nervous picking up a musical instrument as an adult however after 6 months I'm extremely confident with it. I highly recommend Music with Mario.
