Classical double bass lessons in Antwerp, for beginners to advanced musicians.

Von 60 € /Std

My name is Carlos, and I'm delighted to share my passion for music with you, I teach classical double bass in Antwerp.

I consider myself fortunate to have studied under remarkable teachers, and I am eager to pass on the insights and techniques I’ve gained along the way. My journey led me to London, where I learned from the esteemed Rinat Ibragimov and Luis Cabrera. I then continued my studies at the renowned Moscow Conservatory under the guidance of the legendary Evgeny Kolosov (who was Rinat’s teacher) and Grigory Krotenko, who both instilled in me a deep understanding of the art. For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of working as the assistant principal in the Musicaeterna Orchestra under Teodor Currentzis in Saint Petersburg. Now, I have happily arrived in Antwerp to work with the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, and I am ready to inspire and nurture talent in others.

If you find yourself facing any technical or musical challenges, I’m here to help! Together, we can:

- Develop a relaxed right-hand technique that will empower you to produce a rich, resonant sound with ease, all while safeguarding against injury.
- Hone your right-hand skills for impeccable intonation and effortless position changes.
- Train your ear for perfect pitch and intonation.
- Explore legato playing and various bow strokes for expressive performances.
- Refine your musical phrasing to elevate your artistry.

Whether you are preparing for auditions to enter a conservatory or an orchestra, or if you are a complete beginner eager to embark on this musical journey, I am here to support you every step of the way.

I offer lessons in my cozy home studio or can travel to you within Antwerp. At my place, you'll find a welcoming space equipped with a double bass for you to use during our sessions, making it an ideal environment for practice and growth.

I look forward to embarking on this musical adventure together!
