Hello,

I invite you to discover the instrument from multiple points of view, learning to play it from level zero and transmitting the joy of telling a story without words.
Effective method that counts with a notebook of exercises that we will do together in a dynamic and well-explained way.
This course is intended for all those who have any interest in music and the double bass, from the simple interested to the serious enthusiasts. If you want to learn about music, simply get to know the instrument, or improve your technique, send me a message!

Hi, I'm Philip!
I'm a professional Bass player and teacher based in Amsterdam.
I have studied with some of the best teachers in Europe as well as famous bassists from the New York Jazz Scene. Besides my studies I have been actively performing, recording and teaching since age 16, which led me to play at different festivals and venues such as North Sea Jazz, JazzOpen Stuttgart, Bimhuis, DeDoelen Rotterdam.
I'm calm and easy going and I want to pass on the knowledge I got from my teachers as well as my own experience. I always focus on getting you ready or better at playing in a band, since that's what we do as bass players! I'm experienced in and open to a wide variety of styles, my specialization being Jazz.
.....................................................................................................................
Electric Bass/ Bass Guitar - Double Bass - Music Theory - Rhythm - Groove - Ear Training - Sight Reading - Audition Preparation - Home Recording - Gear

---> Jazz, Pop, Rock, Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop....

---> I adapt my teaching to your level (complete beginner to advanced) as well as your goals or your style preferences.

If you're playing in a band and would like feedback we can set up a Bandcoaching, too.

Hello,
this course is an opportunity to efficiently improve your Jazz Bass Playing. If you decide to become one of my students I will provide you with numerous exercise material, some very useful tips and much more.

Prerequisite for all my lessons is that you have an audio file of you playing the double bass so we can analyze it together and discuss the theory of it.
It can be a lot of effort but it is worth it. You will improve extremely fast.

For our first lesson, for example, I recommend preparing a simple blues in c. If you need a Play-Along, contact me. The blues is by far the best starting point!

If you feel interested, I am looking forward to getting to know you.

On the bass, you accomplish heroic things in the background: Since the human ear organizes music from low to high, ... the bass determines how chords are heard. He is also the link between rhythm and harmonies in the ensemble. From this great power comes great responsibility!

With me you will learn to deal with this responsibility. We play your favorite music and expand your musical horizons by promoting your expression, hearing and creativity. In addition, we work on your technique, rhythm, coordination, imagination and your musical knowledge, so that you can develop your musical skills more and more independently and more freely (with or without notes) step by step.

I also teach electric guitar, piano and ukulele for beginners in a public music school. I am happy to pass on my experiences there in private lessons. I will put together an individual practice program for you and teach you your favorite songs.

In my teaching method the music theory, scales, rhythm, harmony, improvisation, a defined technique on the instrument and several practising methods are all very important in order to improve. I’m able to teach Double Bass, Bass Guitar and Music Theory.

Improvisation lessons are suitable for all instruments/vocals and can cover specific musical contexts such as jazz, free improvisation, interpretation of new music (contemporary music), etc.

In my teaching career, I've also had the opportunity to develop special music projects with children and young adults that have interesting, fun, and creative starting points. At the same time, my current students range in age from 16 to 50+, and my practice as a professional improviser allows me to be flexible and keep things interesting across all age groups, skill levels, and genres. Ultimately, it's about developing a personal relationship with an instrument or music that keeps you engaged and having fun!

English (native speaker), German, and some French are possible teaching languages. Regular, irregular, and spontaneous appointments (e.g., individual lessons) are possible.

I welcome students of all ages and levels who are eager to grow and discover new ways of learning the double bass. My teaching focuses on efficient practice, clear technique, and musical expression. Alongside regular lessons, I also mentor and prepare students for orchestra auditions, sharing my professional experience as Principal Double Bass of the Neubrandenburg Philharmonie and mentor for the Orchestra Academy. My goal is to help every student build confidence, skill, and joy in their playing.
