(English below) Groovy basslines & Broad styles. Your musical taste takes center stage! We work purposefully on technique, timing, and creativity. Together, we determine the direction we take, with the joy of playing always coming first.

All professional teaching methods I use include online play-along audio. This allows you to practice flexibly and interactively at home with complete rhythm sections and accompaniments in styles such as Pop, Funk, Jazz, Latin, or Classical.

Double bass for young bassists (6-12 years). For young children, I use specially developed, playful, and effective methods such as Vamoosh (Thomas Gregory) or Bass is Best! (Caroline Emery). This way, from the very first lesson, we build a solid, healthy basic technique in a fun way.

Your choice of repertoire and concepts. For older students and adult bassists (from beginner to advanced), we dive into a wide range of genres. On the double bass, we explore classical etudes, jazz walking basslines, or pop/rock patterns, combined with essential rhythmic theory.

Age & Level: For all ages (from 6 years) and levels.
Languages: The lessons are taught in English, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, or Portuguese.

About Me
Hi, I graduated as a Master of Music at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and I have several projects as a composer/arranger and bass player.
Besides an active life as a musician, I teach piano, bass guitar/contrabass, composition and music theory to students of all levels and ages.

I made arrangements/compositions for, among others, the Fuse Ensemble (NL) and I play live with my Jazz Quintet, where I play bass and compose for this band, with which i recorded a CD, ‘Vortex’.
Those and other and new musical experiences inspire me to continue for further development as musician and to pass on my musical knowledge to others.
