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.

I teach music online (Skype, Zoom, Whatsapp...) and in-person in Brussels and Waterloo, Belgium. Nearly 30 years of experience. 800+ students taught.

All lessons are individual lessons (no group classes). The focus is on learning modern styles of the past, say, 80 years: rock, blues, jazz, reggae, singer-songwriter, folk, pop, country, bossa nova... rather than older classical or traditional Spanish guitar music.

Also, I arrange band workshops, recording workshops, and learn to jam sessions, to get you playing with other musicians and performing/recording. This has resulted in two local rock bands... The Manneken Pistols and The KBH Boogie Band who both play regularly around Brussels and who were featured recently on Bruzz TV.

I consider music as one of the most dynamic arts there are, and that's how I like to teach and share it. My method is effective because I focus on the practice as much as the theory; spotting the needs and strengths of the student, so they can start playing since the first month end even making their own music in up to three months of class, learning that the instrument has much more to offer than what they tell us and that in music everything's possible, you just have to know when and how to do it.

Considero que la música es una de las artes más dinámicas y flexibles que existe, y así es como me gusta enseñarla e implementarla. Mi método es efectivo, ya que me concentro en la práctica tanto como en la teoría; enfocándome en las necesidades y fortalezas del alumno, para que pueda tocar desde el primer mes y componer su propia música en hasta solo tres meses de clase, aprendiendo que el instrumento puede ofrecer mucho más de lo que nos dicen, y que en la música todo es posible, solo hay que saber como y cuando hacerlo.

FRENCH:
I have been in music since I was 5 years old, I decided to make it my job and so I studied at the Brussels Conservatory (Master level). I specialize in jazz but my favorite field remains Groove music. I also went through a lot of styles (rock, funk, pop, reggae,...) during my years of learning the bass.

To get an idea of my playing style, my main influence in Jazz bass is Dario Deidda.
I'm very inspired by "underground" bands from Brussels like Stuff, ECHT, Tukan, Jean-Paul Groove, Ciao Kennedy,...
Abroad I could mention Athletic Progression, KUF, Takuya Kuroda, Vels trio, Vulfpeck (and dozens of others!)
Without forgetting the classics like Parliament, Earth Wind and fire, PUSH, Jamiroquai,...

I don't have a particular method. Unless my student requests it, my lessons are done by feeling according to his desires and his objectives. We can very well just learn pieces and at the same time deepen the technique and the knowledge of the music if requested. The goal is to have fun.

ENGLISH:
I started music when I was 5 and later decided to make it my job. I studied in Brussel's jazz Conservatory (Master).
I'm specialized in Jazz but my roots are in Groove music. I also learned to play different styles (rock, funk, pop, reggae,...)

To have an idea about my way of playing, my main influence about bass on Jazz is Dario Deidda.
I'm inspired by Brussel's "underground" scene with bands like Stuff, ECHT, Tukan, Jean-Paul Groove, Ciao Kennedy,...
Worldwide I dig into bands like Athletic Progression, KUF, Takuya Kuroda, Vels trio, Vulfpeck (and many many more).
And don't forget the classics like Parliament, Earth wind and fire, PUSH, Jamiroquai,...

I don't use a specific method to teach. Unless my students ask for it, my lessons are focused on his expectations/objectives. We can simply learn how to play a tune and at the same time dig into the technique and music knowledge if it's what you want. The main goal is to have FUN.

I'm a certified sound engineer and I have prepared a course for beginners and early intermediates, who want to dive into the world of music production.

I got my bachelor's degree in Music Technology and Acoustics at the Hellenic Mediterranean University. I squeezed out the most useful and meaningful knowledge of a four year curriculum into a 3 month course to help young people save precious time.

Instead of roaming through reels and videos online, join my course and earn a solid foundation in recording techniques, editing, mixing, production techniques, MIDI theory, acoustics theory and the basics of mastering. By the end of the course, you'll be confident enough to produce your first single or EP.
