Bass lessons for all levels: focus on the music you love
From 60 € /h
Hi!
My name is Matteo, I'm a professional bassist from Brussels, currently based in Amsterdam.
I perform and have performed with renowned musicians and bands from many different scenes and styles, bringing me to venues all over the world (USA, UK, Germany, Denmark, France, Romania, Portugal, Spain...).
I have a deep passion for music ever since I started playing 16 years ago, and would like to share it with you!
Bass is the best! And I want to help you uncover it's full potential.
I believe the best way to learn music is to study what you love, and always work from a place of curiosity and passion.
Therefore, we will always look together for ways of making the process the most enjoyable and tackle different topics through the music YOU love. The classes are tailored to each individual student: we find the best workflow for you, and adapt the lessons. If you need structure and a clear program, I can provide that; but if you prefer to keep it loose and see as we go, it's all good. All that matters is your continued motivation and progress.
Among other things, we can focus on:
-Basic technique on the instrument
-Learning songs of your choice, with a method that will allow you to learn songs by yourself later on.
-Learn about different styles: Pop, Rock, Funk, Soul, Metal, Jazz...
-Develop your understanding of music through the instrument (scales, arpeggios...)
-Creativity, and improvisation through the use of the material we have studied together
-Ear training and music theory
-Rhythm, all the way from basic to very advanced
-Basic compositional techniques, or fun ways to start composing
I have been teaching privately for the past 6 years, with very happy students. I can also teach online if it's better, I also have regular online students with whom we are making great progress.
For the lesson, there is no need to bring an instrument: I can lend you one.
Looking forward to meeting you!

About Me
Hi,
I'm Matteo, an electric bass player, and composer from Brussels, currently based in Amsterdam.
I have been playing bass for the better part of my life, after discovering it by accident when I was 12 (by buying a Motorhead CD...).
After growing up playing Reggae, rock, and metal in various bands, I fell in love with jazz when I was 19, and have been focusing on that since then.
Through the years, this has led me to play in some majors venues and festivals across Europe as well as the USA, with various artists.
I currently play in many bands based in the Netherlands and in Belgium, as well as lead my own project for which I compose and arrange everything.
At the core of it all is a deep love for music, which I want to share with you. I am thankful to the great teachers I have met over the years, and hope I can carry on their work by helping you on your own musical journey.
