Bass guitar lessons in Ghent - West African and other music styles

From 68.29 C$ /h

I am a singer-bassist from Mali with international experience with Rokia Traoré, Ben Zabo and Afrikän Protoköl. I mainly play African music (Desert blues, Afro-beat, Mandingue, the Congolese Seben, etc.) but also other genres such as blues, funk, pop and free-jazz.

In my lessons you develop your musical ear and you learn to play by feeling. No scores, no theory. We fully focus on the practice and the pleasure of making music.

Hello

Since I moved to Mechelen I'm very eager to show people my passion.

I'm 29 and have some experience in music. I had many bands and do some live and studio work.

I studied music in Hasselt (Professional Bachelor degree), this makes it possible for me to teach different music styles and music theory.

I am Felix, a master student at the KASK / Conservatory in Ghent. Here I follow Jazz Bass, but I am active in many different bands and genres. I can complete my study material myself, or if you have questions or documents to work on, that is certainly possible!
I give private lessons at different levels, and also look forward to the lesson with you.

Europe numerous times with various bands and currently play with some of Belpop’s best and most well-known artists.

1 Class or a Package!
I will ask you what you want to achieve and I will assess where you are. It is a highly customized tutoring, so this is essential. For students taking a series of sessions, I will have a plan especially for you before the very 1st class.

1. Fully customized
-an individual personal training program:
(what you want to achieve / learn or can do on your guitar, regardless of your level or prior knowledge)

2.-within your own time
-we take into account your work, school or family agenda
- don't you have time to come here? Then we will come to you; at your home or at another location.

3. Within your own budget

-It is possible to spread your lessons and also their payment over time

4. No compulsory music theory or prior knowledge required
-If you would like to include music theory in your program, you can of course ...

5. Personal individual coaching method
-The coaching or teaching program is drawn up according to your specific questions. Usually we work on 3 levels:
1. Technology
(We ensure that you learn to perform the specific guitar techniques in a correct manner technically)
2. Insight / Analysis
(We make sure you know what you are playing, and understand it when you look at your guitar neck)
3. Repertoire
(We ensure that you learn real 'pieces' so that you also feel that you can play music, and not always just practice without more

Hey!

I, Laurent, have been around as a musician for a while. I studied for a master's degree in jazz guitar at the Ghent Conservatory. But I definitely have a broader perspective on music. Any genre is worth exploring!
Feel free to contact me if you'd like to learn more about guitar, techniques, sound, theory, etc.

Hi, my name is Jasper, and I've been playing bass for 15 years now. I've never taken lessons myself, so I can't give you theory lessons. But do you really need theory on bass? 😅 What I can teach you are (right) hand techniques, speed with one, two, or three fingers, canter/triplets, some slap and plucking techniques, and more. My genre is mainly metal, rock, and funk.
