Yes, and it's incredibly rewarding to learn! We build up to slap technique once your fundamentals are solid. Funk, soul, and rock all use slap technique extensively.

We teach adult beginners all the time. Adults bring focus and dedication that often accelerates progress. We create a comfortable, judgement-free environment.
