Check out our awesome bass students in action⬇
A wise prophet once said ‘Those who play the bass, know the secrets of life & the universe’*
Well, if knowing how to bend time & space is your thing, then the bass is the instrument for you!
*we aren’t really sure who this wise prophet is or have any knowledge if this claim is accurate.
Our bass lessons are customised to get you rocking out the bottom end in no time. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a slappin’ & tappin’ fiend, we’ll show you the correct techniques & theory as well as teach you the songs that got you all excited about the bass in the first place.
Who knows, maybe we’ll also help you unlock some hidden super powers that you knew were inside you all along….
Our bass tutors are professional, performing musicians and actually totally really cool, down to earth people.
We make sure you’re learning in a relaxed & fun environment so you can gather all the tools you need to become that super funky bass player you were born to become!
Want to know the best part? We don’t have a cookie cutter approach to music education at our studio… We understand everyone is unique & learns in different ways so we work with you to get you achieving your music goals by customising the lessons just to you!
Wanna learn Hungarian gypsy jazz? Ok, let’s do that. Not sure what inspires you? We’ll show you music & techniques that’ll get you more excited than when you made your first mixtape!
No matter how big or small your goals are; if you want to write & record your own original tunes, join a band, get some experience on the stage or just to learn for your own enjoyment, our aim is to get you to where you want to be with music!
Our holistic approach to learning bass & music includes
- learning music you love!
- learning the correct techniques
- learning how to improvise, create your own music & accompany other musicians!
- learn the theory behind songs in an easy to understand format
- heaps of performance opportunities!
- music industry workshops
- access to a state of the art recording studio
- all ages & abilities welcome (yes, we also teach adults)
Nice things people say about us 🙂

We’ve had such a fantastic experience at Reynolds & Co thanks to our son’s amazing drums teacher. Every lesson has been fun, engaging, and confidence-building. His first gig last night absolutely blew us away—the time, effort, and creativity his teacher put in, from choreographing dance moves to creating personalised song lyrics, was incredible. We feel so lucky to have such a dedicated and inspiring teacher. Highly recommend! 🥁✨
Lisa Case
Wonderful studio! Teachers are amazing, real sense of community, so supportive and lots of opportunities for the kids. We’ve made many friends here and the kids love it. Thank you Reynolds!
Lucy Williamson
This is my daughter’s fourth year at Reynolds & Co learning guitar, where she is not only continually improving her technical skills but also playing with other singers, guitarists and drummers, providing a musical experience that fosters confidence and joy under the tutelage of experienced and supportive teachers. Absolutely recommend.

My son has been going to Reynolds & Co for over three years for piano. The teachers are supportive, professional and genuinely love teaching. They tailor lessons to his interests and learning style, making music fun and inspiring rather than a chore. There’s a real sense of encouragement and care from the whole team, and the welcoming, creative environment has helped him grow not just musically but in confidence too. They also have the opportunity to play gigs at a local venue with fellow students which is the highlight of the year! A truely wonderful music school
Jacqueline Matthews
We have budding guitarist and drummer both learning at Reynolds & co and the team are amazing! The opportunities throughout the year to perform with other students offers a wonderfully unique experience that expands and challenges their skills. We will definitely be reenrolling next year!
Hannah Smith
I have been super impressed by the team at Reynolds & Co. My daughter has been an enthusiastic student and performer over her time there, sadly coming to an end as she is moving away soon for University. All the teachers and staff have been awesome, so enthusiastic and clearly genuinely enjoying their job. The end of term concerts have been impressive, without fail. Highly recommended.

My children started at Reynolds a year ago and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The teachers are super engaging, talented and they make learning fun. They listen and care about what music my kids want to play. They build confidence by providing the opportunity to perform regularly with other students and teachers. And this in turn creates a beautiful vibe. They also teach adults, and I know many parents have signed up to classes after they’ve seen how much their kids love it!
Cara O’Brien
My son, Matthew, has been attending lessons at Reynolds & Co for a couple of years now, and the progress he’s made is incredible. The team creates such a professional, caring and – most importantly – fun learning environment that he genuinely looks forward to every lesson. The highlight of each term is The Exchange gig, where Matthew gets to showcase his passion on a real live music stage in front of his teachers, family and fellow students. It’s an amazing opportunity that has boosted his confidence and performance skills so much. A huge thank you to Sam and the… read more

I wish I’d have learnt music in an environment like Reynolds – I might have stuck with it longer. Gig nights at The Exchange are such a joy and a celebration of the effort everyone puts in; students, teachers and parents. My daughter sings and my son plays guitar and the opportunity to perform with others has been a hugely rewarding experience for them both. Sam and his team are so encouraging and engaging. Thank you!

My three of my children have been attending Reynolds and Co since Term 3 2022. They learn multi instruments across different teachers, who are all amazing in their own ways. Sam is a chill, layback biddings owner who runs a wonderful small business, and nothing is ever to hard when needing to accommodate all my children being their at the same time. To Sam, reception staff, and all the music teachers- my children would not know their instruments and have a love and appreciation for music, if it wasn’t for you all. Reynolds and co… read more

I can’t recommend Reynolds & Co highly enough. They offer free lesson first up to see if it’s the place for you. They teach you the music that you want to learn and their teachers are the best. It’s such an inspiring place to be and I look forward to my lessons every week and they will literally teach anyone
Cassandra Tissot
Excellent teachers and great set up. Really enjoy the chance for the kids to play each term as part of a band and for the opportunity to play gigs.
anna perkins
We want to thank Sam and all the Reynolds & co music teachers for another superb and successful gig night at the pub! (on top of their ongoing dedication throughout the years we have had lessons)
The highlight of our year is enjoying a fun night out to cheer, clap, tap our feet along and watch the amazing students perform and grow in skills and confidence. It is a beautiful opportunity to play amongst such a positive crowd of family and friends.
We have experienced such a welcoming, friendly, inclusive atmosphere and also flexibilty for both our children over the years, in… read more

Putting the fun back into music lessons – my kids are loving their music lessons and a chance to be part of a band and jam at the end of each semester !
michael oflynn
I’ve had myself and my children enrolled at Reynolds & Co for the past 18 months and we absolutely love it! Lovely teachers who really care for their students. The end of term gigs are also so fun & such a highlight. Definitely recommend to anyone who is wanting to start learning an instrument or who would like to refine their skills.
Bree Ball
Reynolds music has changed our lives forever. They provide fantastic tutoring and the end of term gigs are without a doubt a highlight in our family’s year. My two daughters are not only confident performers they have made life long friendships through the wonderful positive collaborative energy Sam and his team create. Highly recommended!

My daughter has been getting guitar lessons for 2 years at Reynolds & Co. I couldn’t recommend them any higher, the staff are all lovely, there’s plenty of performance opportunities & the students get to play with other musicians at their awesome jam weeks!
Sophie
I’ve been attending Reynolds & Co for over a year now and the experience has been nothing but positive. As an adult student, I was a bit nervous about starting lessons but the teachers have been so patient and supportive and helped me to be a lot more confident in my musical skills. The team have also been great in providing payment plans to suit my needs and organising makeup lessons when I can’t make it to one. Can’t recommend them more!
Teagan Holroyd
Reyonolds and Co are an outstanding place for anyone to develop their musical skills. The staff are incredible and the program provides the tuition to develop skills, as well as the opportunity to perfom with others at jam week and gig night. We are extremely grateful that our son gets access to such an amazing program and wonderful teachers. Keep up the great work guys!

The best studio in Newcastle region for giving kids & adults the confidence to perform & play music. Recommend Recommend Recommend!!! 5⭐️
Julie Dorn
Reynolds is a great learning environment for new and established musicians, they recently helped me with learning songs that I performed for my year 12 HSC’s on piano. All the instructors I’ve met are enthusiastic and encouraging, overall the atmosphere of Reynolds contributes to a modern and engaging experience. Friends of mine that also take lessons with Reynolds would also recommend this centre for musical learning due to the variation of instruments. To conclude, I would recommend Reynolds to all aspiring or established musicians.
Elizabeth Dawes
My daughter has only been @ Reynolds & Co for a year however she enjoys every bit of it. We love how they have multiple gigs a year and collaborate with other students on stage. The end of term jam weeks have been fun too. From the admin, to the teachers and the owner, they are all very kind, friendly and respectful. Highly recommend!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
