Hi there! I'm Jakira Brophy, an experienced bassist and dedicated music teacher, ready to help you elevate your bass playing to new heights. With a rich background in professional musicals and extensive touring across New Zealand with various accomplished bands, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each lesson.

I hold a Bachelor of Music, endorsed in Performance and Studio Production, ensuring a comprehensive and well-rounded musical education. My primary genres are Jazz, R&B, and Funk, but I love exploring a wide variety of musical styles. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your technique, my lessons are tailored to your individual needs and goals.

I have been passionately playing bass for 8 years, having switched from guitar during high school. This journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of both instruments, which I leverage to provide a holistic learning experience.

As a woman in the music industry, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities we face. If you're a woman looking for a mentor who can relate to your experiences, you'll find a special connection in my lessons.

Join me for personalized online bass lessons and embark on a musical journey that is both fun and rewarding. Let's groove together and make some amazing music!

Bass guitar lessons with a holistic, "all-round" character.

We will practice the lessons together and we will use your best songs for this. I believe that if you have deep emotional contact with a piece of music, the learning process will also become faster, cozier and smoother!

Our main themes:

- technique and overview of the bass (where?)
- general music theory, ear training (why?)
- creative improvisation and composition (what?)
- rhythm, tempo, phrasing and feeling (how?)

For adults and teenagers, lessons last 1 hour. For all levels from absolute beginner to conservatory level.

Graduated from the American School of Modern Music, I offer bass lessons for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels looking for ways to work. I adapt to everyone's desires and favorite styles, whether it's Hip-hop, Jazz, Blues, Pop, City Pop, Rock, Punk, Funk, Metal, World, etc. . My goal is above all to accompany you in your musical adventure. Also I can help you prepare for auditions (for a group or a music school), improve your phrasing, develop your game or simply teach you your favorite songs.

Classes can take place at my home, yours or via Skype. I offer lessons of 1h, 1h30 and 2 hours according to needs and desires.

Having several basses (4 strings, 5 strings, acoustic, fretless) I gladly lend an instrument to students who come to my home, which can be practical if the lesson takes place after work or study hours. For lessons at home, I bring an ABY pedal that allows two people to play on the same amp, making the lesson more practical and more fun!

Thank you for reading this announcement and have a nice day,

Eyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including rock, blues, jazz, classical music, electronic music and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach, which can be adjusted to every student separately.

Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing in a party or jumping on stages, reading notes or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is helping you finding that out, and guiding you through your personal process.

Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

The sources of my lessons come from the experience and knowledge I've gained not only from my music education - which consists of two instruments, two bachelor's degrees, and a master's degree -but also from being "out there" in the scene as a professional musician, from playing pit gigs, recording in the studios, touring as a band, being on festival stages, etc.

Apart from being in the scene, teaching music to people of various demographics has offered me the opportunity to strengthen the curriculum and the ability to deliver the material in a receiver-friendly way. This means that who you are, what music you are interested in, and why you want to play music all matter.

These music classes provide comprehensive instruction in violin, bass guitar, and essential music theory, designed to build strong technical skills and musical understanding. Students receive hands-on guidance in proper technique, tone production, posture, and instrument-specific skills while developing confidence in performance.

In addition to instrumental training, students learn fundamental and advanced music theory concepts, including rhythm, notation, scales, key signatures, intervals, and basic harmony. Lessons emphasize connecting theory to practical playing, helping students understand how music works while applying it directly to their instrument.

Classes are tailored to meet individual skill levels, from beginners learning foundational techniques to more advanced students refining their musicianship. Through structured practice, repertoire study, and performance-based learning, students develop discipline, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for music.
