Private lessons in bass (jazz and improvised music)

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
As a former professional bass player who accompanied various groups around the world (Louisiana Red, Champion Jack Dupree, John Thomas, Francisco Zumaque, Lou Blackburn, among others), I offer private jazz bass and double bass lessons.

With nearly twenty years of experience in the music industry, I specialized in teaching music, particularly in the fields of jazz, blues and improvised music. I adopt a natural method of learning music that emphasizes listening and playing. Gradually, we introduce the reading of notes according to the rhythm of each student.

Thanks to this approach, students are able to play from the first lesson. The last part of each session is devoted to practice through group play sessions (piano, double bass, drums).

Classes take place in our private room located at Porte d'Orléans. In addition to individual lessons, we offer ensemble lessons for interested students, as well as the possibility of participating in our choir.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information. I look forward to sharing the music with you.

About Me

Claude, pianist - bassist - author - composer - performer - arranger - producer

A career bassist, Claude has accompanied various bands around the world: Louisiana Red, Champion Jack Dupree, John Thomas, Francisco Zumaque, Lou Blackburn, Nina Simone...

His meeting with Art Blakey and Dorothy Donegan encouraged him to reconnect with his first instrumental love: the piano.

He studied in several conservatories, then at the Bill Evans Piano Academy where he studied Harmony with Bernard Maury while accompanying him on the double bass during his masterclasses.

Today, Claude is perfected at the jazz piano, he goes to meet the culture of world music to offer you his deep, intense, voluptuous compositions, and draws his rhythmic strength from his African origins.
Arranger and studio musician, he composes lyrics, writes arrangements on bass and keyboard, and performs them in jazz, rap and pop groups alike.

As a former professional musician, I offer private piano lessons. My specialty lies in teaching jazz, blues and improvised music. However, I also work with classical music and all other styles, depending on the objectives of my students. My pedagogical approach is based on a natural method of learning music. We start with listening and playing, then gradually integrate the reading of notes, respecting everyone's rhythm. With this method, students are able to play from the first lesson. Part of the course is dedicated to group practice, with instruments such as piano, double bass and drums. Classes take place in our private room located at Porte d'Orléans. In addition to individual lessons, we offer ensemble lessons for interested students, as well as the possibility of participating in our choir. Do not hesitate to contact me to find out more. I can't wait to play music with you! Claudius

Enrique
Electric Bass Classes all levels / Musical Theory / Guitar for beginners
Hello! I'm Enrique, a professional bassist with 25 years of experience. My main activity has been as a composer/producer musician with my bands and personal projects, and as a session musician playing with artists ranging from rock, through jazz and Latin music, carrying out my activity as a teacher in parallel. With a methodology oriented towards mentoring, the student raises his concerns and based on that, work is done using a repertoire related to his musical tastes and complementary exercises in technique, improvisation, composition and musical theory. I also give classes to beginning guitarists where we study through a chosen repertoire, basic theory, chords, rhythms and accompaniments. All this in an atmosphere of friendliness and cordiality that makes the student feel comfortable and motivated :)

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.

My name is Nacho, I'm 27 years old and I've lived in Lisbon for 6 years. -In-person classes at my location (Anjos) or at the student’s home. -Portuguese, English or Spanish -Get in touch to resolve any doubts! ABOUT HOW TO TAKE CLASSES My methodology is based on the student's interests, adapting to their preferred genres and supporting the student according to their goals, from those who want to be able to play an instrument as a hobby to those who want to train as a professional musician. It doesn't matter what level you start at! My priority is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, set small challenges to make learning exciting and see your progress through these achievements. We will use a comprehensive approach where we will combine theory with practice from the beginning, so that you are able to understand in depth what you are playing. My main goal is to share my passion for this art and help my students find and cultivate theirs!

Creative bass guitar lessons where the songs are central
Bass guitar lessons with a holistic, "all-round" character. We will practice the lessons together and we will use your best songs for this. I believe that if you have deep emotional contact with a piece of music, the learning process will also become faster, cozier and smoother! Our main themes: - technique and overview of the bass (where?) - general music theory, ear training (why?) - creative improvisation and composition (what?) - rhythm, tempo, phrasing and feeling (how?) For adults and teenagers, lessons last 1 hour. For all levels from absolute beginner to conservatory level.

Matyas
Professional Musician offering Double Bass, Bass Guitar, Improvisation in any style (Jazz, Classical, Pop/Rock)
For me, the most important is to help my students reach their goals, supporting them in any kind of situation. I’m happy to start with a beginner on their musical journey, prepare an advanced player for a music university audition or entrance exam, or a casual player who just wants to learn music and have fun. I always try to personalize my lessons and focus on the aims of my students. My main field is Jazz however I'm able to teach other genres like pop, latin, classical and funk. In my teaching method the music theory, scales, rhythm, harmony, improvisation, a defined technique on the instrument and several practising methods are all very important in order to improve. I’m able to teach Double Bass, Bass Guitar and Music Theory.
