Groovy bass lines & Broad styles. Whether you choose the deep sound of the double bass or the dynamic grooves of the bass guitar: your musical taste takes center stage! We work purposefully on technique, timing, and creativity. Together, we determine the direction we take, with the joy of playing always coming first.
All professional teaching methods I use include online play-along audio. This allows you to practice flexibly and interactively at home with complete rhythm sections and accompaniments in styles such as Pop, Funk, Jazz, Latin, or Classical.
Double Bass for Young Bassists (6-12 years) For young children, I use specially developed, playful, and effective methods such as Vamoosh (Thomas Gregory) or Bass is Best! (Caroline Emery). This way, from the very first lesson, we build a solid, healthy basic technique in a fun way.
Your choice of repertoire and concepts. For older students and adult bassists (from beginner to advanced), we dive into a wide range of genres. On bass guitar, we play groovy bass lines in pop, funk, jazz, and Latin. On the double bass, we explore classical etudes, jazz walking basslines, or pop/rock patterns, combined with essential rhythmic theory.
Age & Level: For all ages (from 6 years) and levels.
Languages: The lessons are taught in English, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, or Portuguese.
Location: In my classroom, at your home (+ €5 travel expenses), or online via Google Meet/Zoom.

About Me
Hi, I graduated as a Master of Music at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and I have several projects as a composer/arranger and bass player.
Besides an active life as a musician, I teach piano, bass guitar/contrabass, composition and music theory to students of all levels and ages.
I made arrangements/compositions for, among others, the Fuse Ensemble (NL) and I play live with my Jazz Quintet, where I play bass and compose for this band, with which i recorded a CD, ‘Vortex’.
Those and other and new musical experiences inspire me to continue for further development as musician and to pass on my musical knowledge to others.

Translate your creative ideas into music. Do you want to learn how to turn your musical ideas into clear, effective compositions and professional arrangements? In these lessons, you will learn useful techniques to create, structure, or take your own music to the next level. Whatever your taste, your unique creative voice and the joy of creating are always central.
Composition & Arrangement for various ensembles. You will learn how to write out your melodies and themes for different ensembles and instrument combinations. Think of strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, or bands within jazz, pop, and rock. We explore the unique timbres and possibilities of each instrument.
Harmony at the Piano & Music Theory. We use keyboard harmony and keyboard voicings (chords and chord melodies) as a practical, hands-on tool to make music theory immediately logical. Through functional harmony and harmonic progressions, you discover how music is truly structured. We apply this theory directly to your own pieces, songs, or arrangements.
Styles: From classical and cinematic to pop, rock, jazz, world music, electronic music and beyond.
Age & Level: Open to all ages and levels (from songwriters to advanced composers).
Languages: The lessons are taught in English, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, or Portuguese.
