Music is fun, it should remain so for anyone studying an instrument. After years of boredom, I found a method that worked for me and may work for you.
On the program, there will be your favorite songs, theory (scales, arpeggios and notions of harmonies) to be able to improvise bass lines and melodies on any song, read any exercise or score .
With more than 15 years of experience on stage, I use my knowledge to make each student feel good on stage, with friends during a jam or solo at home.

Music is fun and should stay fun for anyone studying an instrument. After many years being bored of practicing the same things, I've found a method which worked for me and could maybe work for you.
We'll study your favorite songs but also overview some theory (scales, arpeggios, notions of harmony) to enable you to play and improvise bass lines or melodies over any song. After 15 years+ of experience on stage I share what I've learned along the way so every student of mine can feel good on stage, at friends for a jam session or cozy at home.

Extra information

Bring your instrument, the work is done at home and not at the teacher's, so it is done on the instrument on which you spend time. I have amps at home

About Me

Hi,

With a decade of stage experience and 6 years at the conservatory, I obtained my master's degree at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in jazz on electric bass in 2023. I've been teaching since 2019 and since finishing my studies I've been able to step up the pace of the lessons I give at home.

What I teach:

- electric bass: all levels
- double bass: beginner
- harmonic analysis (piano, guitar, bass, double bass): beginner + intermediate
- ensemble lessons: beginner + intermediate
- DAW + music theory (Ableton, Musescore, Sibelius): beginners

My program is based on concrete examples, with the aim of developing a repertoire that is ready to be played in a group or called upon for performance, just as I do myself in my daily work.

Bass lessons in Brussels for beginners, amateurs or future professionals: from a solid mastering of techniques to the process of embodying improvisation skills.

-Create your own bass lines
-Discover the role of the bass in different styles (jazz, groove, latin)
-Learn to recognize the most common chord changes
-Become familiar with improvisation

Depending on the student's individuality, the lessons can be dealt with by playing, theory, harmony, improvisation and making jazz walking bass lines for instance.

Private lessons for aspiring bassists. Enjoy learning your favorite songs in a relaxed environment at my place or online from the comfort of your own home. I will teach you how to be a great bass player in a band and how you can record bass properly for your songs.

Bass is a foundational instrument that makes people dance and feel the rhythm. So if you have been wanting to pick up the bass or you feel like you need to improve, why not start now?

Come groove with me!

Having also taught the piano for several years to about fifteen different students, I am also available to give bass and fretless bass lessons at my home (George Henri, 1200), or to come to the student's house. I also teach the music theory necessary for a good learning of the bass.

I also give piano and guitar lessons (electric and acoustic), and I can generally give lessons remotely (Zoom etc.). I am bilingual and can teach in English.

Hello everyone!

I am Emanuel, a professional bassplayer based in Brussels. I Graduated with a Master diploma in Jazz Double bass in 2020 & I am currently finishing a Master diploma in teaching music. I have 8 years of experience teaching both privately and in schools.

I teach both electric and acoustic bass and I am open and interested in all genres of music.

My lessons are open to students of all ages and all levels. I am open to teach anyone who wants to explore the bass and share the beauty of music.

In the lessons we can explore all kinds of music and all kinds of areas of playing. How to play basslines, improve your technique, how to improvise solo's, improve time-feel, eartraining,... All these elements can be combined to make you a better musician.

My method of teaching is different for every student. It's very important for me to know a student and to know what he/she wants to achieve in order to create a specific program for them.

Last but not least, my idea as a teacher is to create a friendly environment. Having fun is the most important thing in order to learn in a natural and effective way!

Lessons in Nederlands, Français or English!

A seasoned and passionate musician since the age of 15, I gave my first lessons more than 10 years ago. I am an excellent pedagogue, and I adapt to the level of the student, whether in terms of technical mastery of the instrument, ability to read notes (or tablature), as well as understanding music theory and of the theory. I put myself at the service of the student, his level and his tastes and musical projects. I have a thorough knowledge of music theory, particularly in jazz, and a long experience of playing together (jazz, rock and progressive metal). I can thus provide the theoretical elements necessary for the student to fully appropriate his instrument, at his own pace, and be able to play in a group, invent bass lines, improvise and compose pieces.

The bass is the most important instrument in a musical ensemble, whether in jazz, rock, blues, funk, metal or pop. She is the benchmark for all other musicians, she defines both rhythm and harmony, and she literally makes the bodies of the listeners vibrate.

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.
