Bass guitar lessons taught as a language, no basic knowledge needed

In this class we look and treat music as language. In an organic way we start to understand how music works and how to play by ear. No basic knowledge is needed, you don't have to be able to read music. All you need is a bass guitar and the motivation to start playing music.

Very good explanation, knows what he is doing. Very pleasant person
Zeer aangename kerel die zeer goed les geeft. Een aanrader. Ikzelf heb geen enkele kennis van notenleer of instrument en Jappe legt dit zeer goed en begrijpend uit.

Gitaarleraar met veel kennis, die het ook kan overbrengen.
Hi I'm Jappe, a 30 year old man with a huge passion for music and teaching. After my studies at the Jazz/Popsoul studio in Antwerp, I started teaching in the region. Soon I noticed that many people who have played guitar for years (sometimes 20 to 30 years) still lack a fundamental basis. This basis is essential for understanding the instrument. The guitar is a logical tool, if you follow some steps to see the "bigger picture". I have 15 years of experience and performed on various stages, including Street parties, Permeke Festival, Easywood Festival, Antwerp Tower and at the Mas in Antwerp. I also had the opportunity to study with some top guitarists from Belgium and the Netherlands, such as Frank Peeters, Ruben Machtelinckx, Peter Verbraecken, Koen Wauters and Paolo Loveri. The genres in which I have a lot of experience are: Pop, Rock, Blues, Boogie Woogie, Ragtime, Country, Funk, Jazz, Classical, Flamenco, Reggae and Latin. Both fingerstyle and traditional with the pick.
In this class I teach music theory for those who want to understand the language of music. Once you know the basics, you can apply this to any instrument. There is no basis level or knowledge needed, we can start from the beginning or fill in the blanks on where you are struggling to get the full picture.
In this class we learn how the English language works and go true simple dialog exercises and methods to help you learn and understand the language. No basic knowledge is needed. The way I work is true listening and understanding, then using what we learned in a context right away. On the time we have to agree because my schedule is different every week.

Music for the Soul - Learning to Use the Guitar as an Outlet for Creative Expression
The guitar is a wonderful instrument with a vastly documented history of providing a creative outlet for rockstars, bluesmen, jazz cats and purveyors of funk, singers and songwriters the world over. I believe through learning and understanding this ubiquitous instrument, one can unlock a creative flow which truly enriches ones life and ability to interact and communicate with people in a universal, non-verbal, and deeply soulful manner. In this course, I aim to work with you to find your voice and give you techniques to learn the language of music through understanding your musical tastes and using various approaches to try and work out how some of your favourite songs can be played and why they resonate with you in the way they do.

Alfred
Electric bass and music theory classes for all ages and levels. In Barcelona and Online.
I'm Alfredo, I graduated from the Electric Bass Jazz and Modern Music performance course at the Conservatori Superior del Liceu and later graduated from the Master's in Jazz Performance at Codarts University of the Arts. My methodology is based on adapting the content of the class and the way of teaching it to the needs and learning process of the student. The most efficient way to learn music is through motivation and for this reason I place great emphasis on the idea of working on the music that the student listens to. No matter what genre of music we work on, any type of music can make you improve in all aspects. During the classes I try to cover the following points: - Technique and knowledge of the instrument. - Perception and rhythmic execution. - Theory applied to composition and improvisation. - Development of the melodic and harmonic ear. For students who are just starting out, I emphasize the idea of learning from the experience of playing and understanding the instrument and I let the theoretical part appear naturally once there is already a certain connection with the instrument.

Learn the bass differently and intuitively
This course is above all there to make you want to play the bass, let it be a pleasure! It will be based on the practice of the instrument, on the understanding and the role of the bass. The theory will depend on the progress of the practice. Step by step, practice and theory will thus be complementary, and will necessarily serve!
