Double bass, electric bass and composition lessons

Van 46 € /h

Hello

I'm a professional bass player living in Amsterdam. I have a passion for teaching and passing on some of the knowledge that I have acquired during my studies at several schools and heard from the musicians I look up to. I've done my bachelor degree at The Royal Academy of Music in Denmark, and I finished my Masters at Conservatorium van Amsterdam in 2024.

I teach double bass, electric bass and composition.

Musically I try to be as open as I can. For me it doesn't matter if it's free jazz, traditional jazz, pop or metal as long as it feels good.

I'm a leader of my own group where we combine jazz and indie rock. we will release our debut album this fall.

I'm also a sideman in several groups.

As for composition I have experience with composing for regular jazz groups, big band, string quartet and irregular constellations such as my band with three guitars and three horns.

Some thoughts about teaching:

I believe that the most important thing when teaching is having a good relation to one another and generally just having a good time. If we don't enjoy the process we don't learn.
You should feel comfortable saying how you feel and what you want to learn/don't want to learn. With that transparency I will be able to customize the teaching and balance the curriculum so that I meet your needs while pushing you into unknown territory.

If you're reading this I'm happy that you took your time to read through it all, and hopefully we'll get to meet and talk about music!

Want to learn more about what's behind classical music? Do you want to learn to write music yourself? Or are you already writing music, and would you like guidance or feedback? Then I can help you with this!

I graduated as a composer at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (Bachelor) and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (Master). I have a lot of experience writing for solo instruments, ensembles, choirs and orchestras, and electronics.

For music theory, I can take a general, broad approach, or we can focus on certain types of music and explore it, depending on your needs.

For composition, we can discuss the basics if you are just starting or planning to compose. If you've been doing it for a while, we'll focus more on the music you make and discuss it with each other.

Hey peeps!
I love to give guitar lessons in a relaxed mood that will not put pressure on you, only giving you feedbacks that will improve your practice. The first lessons will generally consist of covering the basics by learning simple songs. Depending on how it goes, we will go straight into learning songs that you want to play, where you will learn even more!
I can teach you how to play across several appointments during the week so you'll learn faster and enjoy playing straight from the beginning :)

Keep growing ♥️

Does it happen to you too?

You're listening to the music and... You Just Can't Take your Focus Off the lower tones, the foundation of the song, The Bass.

Let me tell you something: if you do that it means that...

You're already Learning!

Whether you're listening to pop, rock, r'n'b, jazz, blues, you name it, the Bass is always there to work as the foundation on which the Band can build on.

I can guide your curiosity through the discovery of the various bass techniques, we can work together using the music of the artists you love to walk our way in the realm of the Low Tones.

Didn't you always want to meet up with those friends of yours and play those songs you all love?

That amazing bass riff from Muse, that lovely song from Coldplay or super cool funky Bruno Mars.

Or maybe you dream of the warm cuddly sound of the double bass, playing with the bow and feel the vibration of the Wood. Playing some Jazz, along with Miles Davis or Wayne Shorter.

With almost 20 years of experience in the low tones world I can guide you in the study of electric bass and double bass.
I'm an active performer and touring musician, as well as a master graduated Bass player. (Conservatorium van Amsterdam)

We will work together to find what best suites you.

Through the music that you love we'll find the right path to discover the world of the Bass.

P.S.: (For fearless only) I will teach also the secret art of: “Riding a bike while carrying your bass without getting killed”.

I am a guitar teacher graduated from Fontys Hooge School for the Arts, I have a lot of experience teaching young children and adults with and without prior knowledge, I like that my students identify with me and have confidence in the learning process, that makes that they learn faster and more fun, I use different methods to learn guitar, and I combine them with my experience and intuition, my experience teaching at a music academy was always pleasant, and also with a waiting list full of students, I am also very good at preparing students for the entrance exams of the conservatory.

Bass guitar lessons in Amsterdam or Online! During the lessons, special attention is paid to timing, teamwork and technique. Many different music styles are discussed and hearing training and music theory are also discussed, and of course there is room for your own questions. Lessons for all ages from 5 years, for beginners but also for advanced players or adults who want to start with this fantastic instrument at a later age.

The Bass guitar lessons are given at all levels from beginners to advanced / professionals. You learn how to play the instrument, with the right attitude and the right technical and theoretical underpinning of everything you want to learn. A somewhat broader music theoretical knowledge can also be taught. Customization is provided to the student's wishes.

The music theory lessons provide insight into how western music theory functions and how it is applied in practice. Exercises are also done to develop the hearing and music theoretical exercises are done on the basis of either piano, guitar or bass guitar. The aim is to understand what the theory behind music is and why it functions that way.

The Guitar (or Piano) lessons are only given at beginners level. The basic skills of the instrument are taught and an insight is also given into simple music theoretical issues with which the student can benefit from these acquired insights until a much more advanced stage and make faster progress on his/her instrument.

I sometimes cover theory and music together, sometimes separately. We tailor the lessons to your level and what you enjoy learning to play. Focusing on technique and theoretical knowledge is key—I want to teach you the basics so you can play as efficiently as possible.

Learn to play the piano, train your ear, and develop a solid harmonic foundation to play your favorite songs. I’m a saxophonist and clarinetist, graduated from the Conservatory of Amsterdam, with two years of classical piano studies and two years of jazz piano (harmony on the piano). My lessons focus on a practical approach, helping you understand chords, progressions, and musical structures in a simple and accessible way. Whether you're starting from scratch or want to use the piano to better understand music, my lessons will guide you step by step in a relaxed and engaging way.

Lessons are specifically tailored to the needs of each student, with a focus on their personal requests. I offer various approaches — teaching, coaching, mentoring. My lesson style ranges from diving into music theory and analysing great music works of the past, to developing a musical concept for your compositions and working on your personal style.

I am proficient in jazz arranging and composing, classical orchestration and composition, jazz and classical theory, solfege, rhythmics, as well as working within interdisciplinary fields — combining different art forms with music.

I offer a wide range of possibilities — writing your own compositions/songs; arranging for a big band (or any other ensemble); songwriting; working with strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion.
Your motivation is the limit:)

I am also working with Sibelius as a software, so I can teach you to use it.

My lessons are all about discovering, developing and most of all having fun with music. Whether you play guitar or bass—beginner or advanced—I will help you find your own sound and take your playing to the next level.

We work on technique, timing, hearing, improvisation and expression, but always in a way that suits your musical interests. Do you want to get better at groove, learn to solo, write your own songs or record your tracks in Logic Pro X? It's all possible. I tailor the lesson to your goals and give you practical tools that you can apply immediately.

As an active musician (in three bands), producer and graduate of the Conservatory of Amsterdam, I will take you into the world of music practice—from rehearsal space to studio and stage.

My classes are informal, personal and motivating. You don't have to be perfect—as long as you are curious and eager to learn, we will make great strides together.

Teaching songs you don't really like is a no-go for me. I'll help you figure out which 'classics' are there to practice on and I'll give advice about technique and timing etc.. Also, if you're really curious, I can teach you some music theory. My general goal is to get you hooked to playing. When bored, grab your guitar, not your phone!

I am an award-winning composer with a Master’s degree in Composition from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, and experience as a concert pianist, orchestral player, and accompanist. I currently have a few openings for new students.
