Electric bass lessons for beginners to advanced levels, online or in person.

From 58 C$ /h

Music should first and foremost remain a pleasure! After years of overly academic learning, I have developed an approach based on play and enjoyment.

The program includes: your favorite songs, basic theory (scales, arpeggios, harmony) to improvise and create your own bass lines.

With over 15 years of experience on stage, I will help you gain confidence, whether it's to play in a band, participate in a jam session or simply enjoy yourself at home.

The goal: to progress at your own pace and never lose the joy of playing!

Extra information

Bring your instrument, the work is done at home and not at the teacher's, so it is done on the instrument on which you spend time. I have amps at home

About Me

Hi,

With a decade of stage experience and 6 years at the conservatory, I obtained my master's degree at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in jazz on electric bass in 2023. I've been teaching since 2019 and since finishing my studies I've been able to step up the pace of the lessons I give at home.

What I teach:

- electric bass: all levels
- double bass: beginner
- harmonic analysis (piano, guitar, bass, double bass): beginner + intermediate
- ensemble lessons: beginner + intermediate
- DAW + music theory (Ableton, Musescore, Sibelius): beginners

My program is based on concrete examples, with the aim of developing a repertoire that is ready to be played in a group or called upon for performance, just as I do myself in my daily work.

Hello everyone!

I am Emanuel, a professional bassplayer based in Brussels. I Graduated with a Master diploma in Jazz Double bass in 2020 & I am currently finishing a Master diploma in teaching music. I have 8 years of experience teaching both privately and in schools.

I teach both electric and acoustic bass and I am open and interested in all genres of music.

My lessons are open to students of all ages and all levels. I am open to teach anyone who wants to explore the bass and share the beauty of music.

In the lessons we can explore all kinds of music and all kinds of areas of playing. How to play basslines, improve your technique, how to improvise solo's, improve time-feel, eartraining,... All these elements can be combined to make you a better musician.

My method of teaching is different for every student. It's very important for me to know a student and to know what he/she wants to achieve in order to create a specific program for them.

Last but not least, my idea as a teacher is to create a friendly environment. Having fun is the most important thing in order to learn in a natural and effective way!

Lessons in Nederlands, Français or English!

I have completed 3 years of intensive bass study at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and am currently playing bass plus backing-vocals and song arrangement for Kids of the Elephant and Arrubio.

In these lessons, I will help you reach your goals while having fun in the process, keeping the lessons structured and tailored to your personal needs. I have 5 years of experience helping students improve as well as specialist knowledge in a multitude of styles. Some examples of what you might learn include:

- Correct hand positioning & posture for best performance and faster learning.
- Learning your favorite songs quickly and easily.
- Breaking down rhythms & dynamics
- Understanding the role of bass playing in a band.
- Understanding what makes a good bassline and composing your own.
- Essential music theory for bass & more advanced techniques (eg: melodic techniques, rhythmic, slap bass, etc)
- How to improvise, jam and play with other musicians.

Appropriate homework/exercises and recordings are provided during lessons. I also like to give advice and direction for people with musical aspirations. I'm also an empathetic person that loves teaching, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

A seasoned and passionate musician since the age of 15, I gave my first lessons more than 10 years ago. I am an excellent pedagogue, and I adapt to the level of the student, whether in terms of technical mastery of the instrument, ability to read notes (or tablature), as well as understanding music theory and of the theory. I put myself at the service of the student, his level and his tastes and musical projects. I have a thorough knowledge of music theory, particularly in jazz, and a long experience of playing together (jazz, rock and progressive metal). I can thus provide the theoretical elements necessary for the student to fully appropriate his instrument, at his own pace, and be able to play in a group, invent bass lines, improvise and compose pieces.

The bass is the most important instrument in a musical ensemble, whether in jazz, rock, blues, funk, metal or pop. She is the benchmark for all other musicians, she defines both rhythm and harmony, and she literally makes the bodies of the listeners vibrate.

Hello, my name is Victor, I am 24 years old and I am currently a student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. I play in different musical projects with artists such as Youssef Swatt's, Lena Deluxe, Bim Boom Bap... My teaching focuses on spontaneous and mainly oral learning of music. There is no need to know music theory. I will discuss some theoretical notions depending on what we are working on together, and your curiosity on this subject. I would emphasize listening, rhythm and playing in pairs. There will be part of the work devoted to instrumental technique (how to get a beautiful sound out of the instrument, how to play without getting tired or injured, what are the different ways of making a guitar/bass guitar sound depending on the style) , and the rest of the time we can work on pieces, tackle improvisation, group playing, composition, or other subjects depending on your requests.

My musical journey:

I am currently a student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in jazz and before that I spent 2 years at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Lille in jazz bass/double bass and classical double bass. I also graduated from EF2M in Tourcoing.

I started music at the age of 8 with the piano, then I turned to the guitar at 12 and then to the electric bass at 16. When I entered the Lille Conservatory, I also took up the double bass.

I practiced several styles: jazz, rock, blues, metal, classical, soul, funk, etc... and the fact of having played several instruments helps me to have a more global vision of music, and to find what is interesting in each of the styles. This openness I want to pass on in my classes.
I have several years of stage experience with different projects, and I have also worked in the studio, notably with the house music artist Bellaire.
