Creative bass guitar lessons where the songs are central
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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.

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Dear Prospective Student,My teaching practice came about as a form of practice and self-development about a decade ago. After relocating to the Netherlands and finishing my second BA in Jazz Bass guitar at the Amsterdam Conservatory, step-by-step I worked out my own method based on my experiences as a performer of popular, progressive and jazz music, feedback from my most loyal students and observing my favorite music teachers both in person and online. I like to keep my exercises interactive and up-to-date!
The special feature of my lessons is that they are 100% tailored to the student's own music taste, learning style and level of experience - I firmly believe that a deep emotional connection with the material being studied makes learning more fun and much easier!
Aside from the essential ear training and technique exercises I urge everyone to explore their creativity (building their own grooves, learning about songwriting or playing improvisation games) and deepen their very own musical taste.
- It's a holistic approach, but with an eye for little details. -
Looking forward to seeing you,
Rita

I have now had 5 lessons in a period of about 3 months with Rita and I certainly do not plan on stopping anytime soon! The lessons are varied with a nice combination of theory and technique where Rita pushes you out of your comfort zone bit by bit to gain a better understanding of the bass guitar. Highly recommended :)

Rita is a great bass teacher, always willing to patiently explain everything until the student understands. She is extremely enjoyable to learn with and I couldn't recommend her more for someone looking to learn bass.
Very enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere for learning
My first class with Rita was great. She was very patient and willing to listen to my requests. I'm looking forward to continuing my bass journey with her.
I really enjoyed my first lesson with Rita. I had lots of fun and also learned a lot!

Band playing lesson, all styles, all instruments. Get your band playing to the next level !
Sign up for a band playing lesson as an individual instrumentalist, and you will be paired with other like-minded musicians to form a band. I will pair musicians of similar levels and who share similar musical interests together.
We will meet once or regularly based on the students availability, and will go over the basics of what it means to play in a group, put a repertoire of music together, and take your musicianship to the next level. Too often when learning an instrument, we fail to do what is ultimately the end goal of these long hours spent practicing : making music with others. This is also a great opportunity to meet fellow musicians and share your passion with others.
PS : at least one to two years of experience on your instrument is recommended to sign up for band playing lessons.

It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages.
Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable.
