Learn Double Bass and Bass and Solfege

From 59.99 C$ /h

With this course I propose to approach the double bass in various forms. The goal here is to have fun while learning at your own pace.

Classics, Jazz or other contemporary forms of music as well as the personal taste of the student will accompany the learning of musical expression.

We will see well on the technical facets of the instrument adapted to any age and any level. But the whole thing will always be at the service of music and in a musical context.

The bow game, the different hand positions, the slap can be as many fun ways to discover the instrument and its different colors.

About Me

I started small music and I started with the trumpet. Then I discovered the bass at the age of 14 and have continued since.

I like the idea of sharing my acquired knowledge through professional practice and experience.

I also like the idea that the student shares his vision and his own questions about music and this particular instrument and give him the answers that I can give him.

Bass lessons in Brussels for beginners, amateurs or future professionals: from a solid mastering of techniques to the process of embodying improvisation skills.

-Create your own bass lines
-Discover the role of the bass in different styles (jazz, groove, latin)
-Learn to recognize the most common chord changes
-Become familiar with improvisation

Depending on the student's individuality, the lessons can be dealt with by playing, theory, harmony, improvisation and making jazz walking bass lines for instance.

The Contrabass is a marvelous instrument: powerful, subtle, demanding, astonishing.

Graduated from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris in Jazz specialty and teacher (private individual / replacement in conservatory) for 4 years, I suggest you dive into the heart of his universe.

For this I appreciate relying on a flexible method putting the passion and envy of my students at the forefront.
Meet, establish a dialogue and move forward together towards a common goal: to have fun while making progress!

My horizons:

-The jazz double bass (walking bass, improvisation, sounds, repertoire, rhythm, theory ..)
- the "general" technique (body position, right hand, left hand, flexibility, etc.)
-the classical double bass (sound of the bow, phrasing, study of pieces ...)
- "contrabassistic" culture (operation of the instrument, the undisputed masters, the repertoire in the broad sense ...)

I am also an electric bass player (another wonderful instrument) graduated from the Marne and Chantereine conservatories.

My method remains the same and I love to teach (and constantly learn) the greatest number of styles, repertoire, ranging from Rock to Funk through Pop, hip hop and Cuban music.

All levels and all ages welcome!

Classes can be taught in French, English or Italian.

Robin.

Hello everyone!

I am Emanuel, a professional bassplayer based in Brussels. I Graduated with a Master diploma in Jazz Double bass in 2020 & I am currently finishing a Master diploma in teaching music. I have 8 years of experience teaching both privately and in schools.

I teach both electric and acoustic bass and I am open and interested in all genres of music.

My lessons are open to students of all ages and all levels. I am open to teach anyone who wants to explore the bass and share the beauty of music.

In the lessons we can explore all kinds of music and all kinds of areas of playing. How to play basslines, improve your technique, how to improvise solo's, improve time-feel, eartraining,... All these elements can be combined to make you a better musician.

My method of teaching is different for every student. It's very important for me to know a student and to know what he/she wants to achieve in order to create a specific program for them.

Last but not least, my idea as a teacher is to create a friendly environment. Having fun is the most important thing in order to learn in a natural and effective way!

Lessons in Nederlands, Français or English!

Hello,

I am currently working as a double bassist with the Brussels Philharmonic, in Belgium and I've been teaching double bass since 2009.

I started playing double bass at the age of 12 at the Calouste Gulbenkian Music Conservatory in Aveiro. I continued my studies at the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa, where I obtained a Bachelor in Music and a Master degree in Music Teaching.
In 2014 I started my Masters in Music at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg and I was also Akademistin at the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester.
I have extensive experience as a Freelancer with various Orchestras such as NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest, Orquestra Sinfónica de Galicia, Hamburger Symphoniker, Gulbenkian Orchestra, Orquestra da Casa da Música do Porto, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic, Dresden Philharmonie, etc.

I was double bass teacher in Portugal at Orfeão de Leiria and at the Conservatory of Music in Alhandra and in Hamburg at Gymnasium Lerchenfeld.

Hello! I am Jennifer, double bassist based in Brussels. I enjoy teaching anyone who wants to play the double bass: whether you are just starting out or want to further develop on this magnificent instrument.

Making music is central to my lessons and other aspects are also discussed from there: ensemble playing, technique (pizzicato and/or arco), ear training, theory. Because the double bass is a versatile instrument in so many musical styles, we can also approach this one. I like to share my great passion for all kinds of music.

Curious? Be sure to send me a message and we will make a plan based on your wishes, agenda and interests! Being able to read music is certainly not a must, we can also tackle this during lessons.
