The bass guitar is the anchor for any rock band. Bassists provide both the rhythmic and harmonic foundation needed to hold the band together and bring the music to life. For this reason, these musicians are always in high-demand, and the bass is a great instrument for younger players. While you may not think of the bass as an instrument for kids, #bassists can start at ages 7 to 9. With only four strings, some kids find it easier to pick up than a guitar with six strings. #bassguitar #musiceducation
