What does a lesson look like?
My philosophy is simple: practice is key. We dive into theory where necessary, but the goal is always to help you play better, not to rote learn. I want to get you ready as quickly as possible to play in a band, join a jam session, or simply play the music you love to hear.
These are the standard ingredients of my lessons:
- Songs & Repertoire: We'll quickly start by playing along to songs you enjoy. This way, you'll immediately put your technique into practice.
- Creativity & Songwriting: You learn not only to play by ear, but also to create your own. How do you build a good bass line? How do you make sure it fits the drums? We work on your own musical voice.
- Ear Training & Jamming: Do you want to be able to play along without sheet music? We train your ears so you recognize chords and melodies faster. We conclude every lesson with a short moment of improvisation: just dare to play and listen to what works. Feeling a bit stressed about improvising? No problem, so am I. I’ll happily help you through it, so you feel at ease in any setting.
- Technique & "Theory at your fingertips":
1. We learn the neck of the bass blindly (where are the notes?).
2. We practice scales, modes, arpeggios, and inversions. Not as boring sequences, but as building blocks for creating more interesting bass lines.
3. For those who can read sheet music, we also include sight-reading. Can't read sheet music, but want to learn? Great, we'll do that.
4. We learn to play along with chord progressions.
For absolute beginners: Have you just started? Then we will take our time to get the basics right. You will get to know the instrument well, and we will also cover music theory in an accessible way, so that you have a solid foundation.
The end goal? That you feel confident on stage or in a rehearsal room, know what you're doing, and above all: enjoy playing.

Extra information
Don't have a bass guitar of your own yet? Then you can borrow one from me during the lessons.
I strongly advise you to find your own instrument (rent, borrow, buy,...) so that you can practice not only during the lesson.
You don't need to bring an amplifier; I have one.

About Me
Hi! I'm Julie. Music has always been the common thread in my life. By now, I’ve gained quite a bit of experience, both live on stage and in the studio. Because I believe you never stop learning and I wanted to take my playing to the next level, I started studying bass guitar at PXL Music in Hasselt alongside my day job. I now combine that academic knowledge with my practical experience in a wide range of projects—from alternative rock to Studio 100 covers.
Besides being a musician, I work as a content marketer. Why does that matter to you? Because I bring that same sense of structure and clarity to my lessons. I’m not a chaotic musician; I’m someone who builds a plan together with you. Whether you want to learn your first notes, write your own songs, or refine your technique: we’ll do it in a way that fits you perfectly.
