From 23.22 £ /h

The bass is an incredible instrument that binds a musical ensemble.
It is an instrument which links rhythm to melody, which gives the vibration to a piece and the punch that we like to hear.
Bass brings the background power to a song and can be played in all styles of music.
Through bass lessons, you will learn the necessary technique to be comfortable on this instrument, the theoretical concepts that will allow you to better understand the music and the combination of the two to play in a group.
This course aims to make you love the bass through practical learning, both from a rhythm and theory point of view, from an ear point of view and dexterity.
The practice of your favorite songs combined with exercises will allow you to reach a good level.

About Me

- I am 25
- I have been playing bass for 7 years
- I learned to play through private lessons
- I can learn rock, funk, pop and reggae
- I have played in several groups and I also play alone to practice the bass as a lead instrument

Education

I did not study music in a musical school, I learned to play with a private teacher and in self-teaching. I like this mode of learning because it leaves the student free to learn in an intuitive and practical way (learning by playing rather than studying music theory)

Experience in several rock groups mainly, concerts in Brussels, jam sessions and solo playing especially in the funk and melodic style for some time.

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.

Hi there,
My name is Rodrigo Fuentealba, I’m a professional guitarist - Fuzztones, Arsenal, Novastar, Gabriel Ríos, Fifty Foot Combo, Manngold - I play in little dark venues as well as Werchter and Forest National in bands whose genre ranges from Rock'n Roll, blues, surf, punkrock, postpunk, jazz, latin, garage, pop, soul, folk, country, psychedelica, impro, solos and anything in between and beyond, anything as long as it’s good and fun ! And ... I can’t read music (I can pretend very well) and I’ve only been taking an interest in music theory in the last ten years.

I have a solid experience as a guitar teacher as i’ve worked for 10 years at the PXL Music Conservatory, which produces most of the professional bands coming out of Belgium, as well as at the Merelbeke Music Academy. I also produce music, write music scores for theater, movies, adverts and contemporary dance.

I got into music because it is fun to play an instrument, it makes you feel good, it’s creative, inspiring, and it connects you to other people. And that is my main goal in teaching you how to play the guitar. At your own pace, learning the stuff that you like and want to learn. The basic basics, songs, styles, soloing, impro, and the more advanced things, whatever it is that you fancy and would like to learn. In a beautiful environment. And with a nice cup of tea. In English, Dutch, French or Spanish, in the daytime or evening.
