Double bass, Arco, Pizzicato, Classic, Jazz, Film!

From 123.23 C$ /h

Dear music lovers,

I am a Master's graduate of HSLU Music and offer double bass lessons for anyone who would like to just play the double bass.

The offer is valid for everyone from beginners to advanced level musicians.

I am an active freelance musician and I am doing a second master pedagogy at the HSLU Musik. Therefore, I am especially happy to meet young musicians, which want to start playing the double bass or need some guidance for their practice, some ideas for pieces, and arrangements of their favorite music pieces. For children from 5 years of age, there are different possibilities for a double bass that fits their size.
For further information please contact me.

With kind regards,
Marko

About Me

I was born in Sofia (Bulgaria) in 1994, have been playing the double bass since 2005. In 2012 I went to The Netherlands to study with Prof. Peter Leerdam at CODARTS Rotterdam where I stayed until 2017. After that I came to Lucerne Switzerland, my current location to study with Prof. Božo Paradžik.
In Summer 2020 I graduated Master Performance at the HSLU Music and am currently doing my second Master Pedagogy also at the HSLU Music.

I have worked with artists like Yannick Nezet-Segiun, Valery Gergiev, Arie van Beek, Igor Gruppmann, Phillip Jordan, Vladimir Jurowski and Gordan Nikolitch. From 2012 till 2016 I was a member of the NJO(Dutch Youth Orchestra) and in 2016 and 2018 played with GMJO (Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra). The tours brought me to France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal and others. I have attended master classes with Matthew McDonald (Solo Berlin Phil.), Matthew Midgley (Solo Rotterdam Phil., Luis Cabrera (Solo NetPHO) and Renault Garcia Fons (Solist) and others.   In the last years i have played with many professional orchestras, including CHAARTS Zurich and Doelen Ensemble, Rotterdam. In 2016 and 2018 I played with the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester in the most prestigious concert halls of Europe, such as the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Musikverein Vienna or the Royal Albert Hall.

In addition to my work abroad, I am also active in various ensembles and orchestras in Switzerland. In October 2018, I played chamber music at a medical symposium in the Marianischer Saal, Lucerne, and as the Solo Bassist of the Junge Philharmonie Zentralschweiz in the KKL.
Since the Season 18/19 I am also performing often with City Light Concerts Film in the KKL, playing both Double bass and Electric Bass. In 2019 I became a permanent member of the Orchester vom See, Zürich and Züricher Symphoniker.

''Once upon a time there was a breath. Lighter than a whisper, it melted into the wind, lamenting that it was never heard...''

But before continuing this story, a little introduction is in order.
🙋🏻‍♀️ | Hi ! I'm Lisa and I study clarinet at the Lucerne University of Music.
🎶 | But beyond the pleasure of playing on stage, alone or in a group, I love to make my passion known and allow other people to become familiar with my instrument.
👩🏻‍🏫 | For a few years, I have been teaching the clarinet online and at the music school of Crans-Montana.
But back to the story.

“...One day, he heard in the distance the chords of a guitar accompanying a joyful and magical song. From that day on, the little breath decided to become music. So he let himself be carried away by the wind, which deposited him next to a clarinet. Curious, the breath slipped into the mouthpiece and slid down to the pavilion. It was fun, a bit like a slide...''

But what is a clarinet? Let's take a short break in history to clear up this point.
📖 | The clarinet is a wind instrument of the woodwind family. It is made of ebony and has 18 keys that allow the musician to play all the notes.
🎤 | It is the instrument closest to the human voice. Indeed, it can sound very loud or very soft, very high or very low and has a wide variety of sounds.
🌬 | To make a sound with his clarinet, the musician blows into the mouthpiece and vibrates the reed. A bit like when you make a blade of grass hiss by blowing on it.
Let's see how our breath is doing.

“... He then gathered all his strength and blew a big blow into the beak. Nope ! It didn't seem like the right method. He then tried to tap on the reed and slipped through the holes and the keys. Until, finally, the breath becomes a melody...''

Turn your breath into music too!
🎺 | Playing a musical instrument will allow you to express your creativity and relax while developing your brain. Plus, seeing your progress will make you proud and gain self-confidence.
💡 | The clarinet is a practical instrument. Indeed, it disassembles into 5 parts that you can store in a small box and take with you everywhere!
🇨🇭 | In Switzerland, there are many harmonies and other ensembles where the clarinet has a prominent place. You will therefore be able, as soon as you have mastered the basics, to meet lots of new people with whom to share your passion.
Let's finish the story.

“...Other breaths, strings and beats, impressed by the beauty of the melody, found himself a musical instrument too. This is how the 1st orchestra was born!

I am available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) in Valais and during the week in Lucerne.

I offer piano/theory/ear training classes at all levels and ages with more than 5 years of experience in academies, schools and private classes. My method is flexible since my students have different personalities, interests, needs or objectives, adding auditory training, music theory or dynamic methods if I am teaching children, I always adapt as they are private classes.
I believe that the piano is one of the most important and special instruments to learn and I love sharing my passion for music with my students, I believe it is the best way to learn and teach.
As for my studies, I finished my bachelor's degree in classical piano and am now studying a master's degree in contemporary music at the University of Lucerne, so I can play and teach different styles and periods of music!
I can teach in English, Spanish and very soon in German since I am now learning the language.

Learning music is about enjoying life. That's what a teacher told me when I was little, and I want it to be that way for the rest of the people, regardless of how much knowledge and freedom they want to achieve.

Hello! My name is Isabel, I am a Spanish cellist. I love teaching, I also learn a lot from it, and I have experience teaching both children and adults in institutions such as the Music School of Lugano.
In my lessons I focus on building a good physical and mental relationship with the instrument in order to learn how to handle it healthily and effectively. Always apply theory in connection with practice.

I now play as an academic with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra.

The price of the class can be adjusted to your capabilities. I can give lessons in German, English, Italian and Spanish.

I'll teach you to play the flute, whatever your age or level! I'm currently doing a Master's degree in Instrumental Pedagogy at the Hochschule Luzern with a Minor in Orchestra in Sarah Rumer's class, and I've already been giving private lessons for 2 years.
In class, we'll learn to express ourselves through the instrument, to read scores, to play together, to develop sound, breathing, coordination and so on.
The aim of the class is above all to enjoy playing the flute and to be able to express one's inner voice and emotions through music.
