Electric Bass, Improvisation, Music Theory lessons for all levels

From 56.68 $ /h

Music is a life journey that can sometimes be challenging and demanding. Together we can set a lesson plan that focuses specifically on the demands and level of each student in particular. After years of being a student myself and having the opportunity to study with some of the most renowned jazz musicians of the world, I have collected knowledge and information on how to deal with many of the weaknesses we face during our lifelong journey of learning music. We will find the right way to learn that works for you and your experience.

The lessons offered:

- Bass Guitar: on all levels, focusing on developing good technique, leaning a lot of music and finding new challenges. Focus can be on any subject the student decides and will take it further from there.

- Improvisation techniques: on all levels and all instruments, you don't have to be a bass player to take that lesson. We will deal with many different ways to approach improvisation in modern music, based on the ideas and classes from teachers like Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, David Santoro, Steve Rochinski and Bruce Gertz.

- Jazz and Classical Music Theory, Arranging and Composition: providing many different book and different perspectives on music theory, learn how to analyze music and utilize all the ideas and concepts to create our own music and take it a step further. Techniques for arranging and composition, from small groups to big band writing.

- Music of the world: Discover music from all around the world, focusing on learning the styles, the history and the tradition of music from West Africa, Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru. We will focus on the rhythmic aspect of different genres of world music and we will create an understanding of the feel of each different style.

Together with the drummer, the bass guitarist lays the foundation of every good band. Learn to groove like Flea, the bass player of the Red Hot Chili Peppers or to develop yourself as the new Victor Wooten, world-famous bass player. Together with your teacher you will learn how to lay down the thickest bass lines and coolest "licks".

Play funky grooves from your favorite band and learn everything about sound, timing dynamics and tone formation. During the band lessons you learn to play together and apply all your "skills" in practice.

I want to help people to explore the world of music and to find their own way of expressing themselves in a comfortable and supported environment customized for the individual.
The small amounts of music theory, accompanying the saxophone lessons, are necessary in order to understand what is being done and why.
A own saxophone is necessary. If you have none yet, feel free to contact me, I will be happy to advice you.

The class is suited to the student's interests and objectives!

Do you want to learn how to...

play the chords of your favourite song? Or maybe understand how those chords work and the logic between them, so you can write a song yourself?

read music and play classical music? Have you already begun playing but you wish to take it to the next step?

Are you super motivated but your body is sore after playing and that keeps you from practising all the time you'd want to?

We can work on all of that!

Why should you trust me? I got my Licentiate degree with a GPA of 9.46 in Argentina, and I'm also part of Fontys Masters in Music programme, where I received Fontys Scholarship of Musical Excellence. I've also completed 90% of my Licentiate in Composition with a GPA of 9.42, so I know a lot about music theory, analysis, counterpoint, harmony, and form.

Hello!

I offer piano lessons for people at any level. I have experience with beginners, intermediate and advanced players. I have experience with students from age 12 to senior students.

I have experience playing and performing music from the Early Baroque to Contemporary Music. Nevertheless, my expertise remains in music from Bach to post-romantic and neoclassic composers. I also have experience performing piano Spanish music (Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albéniz, and Enric Granados).

I also offer Music Theory, Harmony, Solfege, Musical Dictation and Ear Training Lessons.

I have some notions on Jazz piano, and I can definitely teach Rock and Pop piano. Nevertheless, my expertise remains in Classical Piano playing and performing.

I would prefer not to teach at my place since I am currently living in a student house with a lot of people living in it... But if you are OK with this, then I see no problem!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Stay safe in these pandemic times and have fun!

All the best,

Jeroen

Do you also want to groove with bass riffs on your favorite songs?
The bass guitar is a versatile instrument that can be found in many genres. Together with the drummer, a bass player provides the rhythm and the groove. That is why you are indispensable as a bass player. Our teachers are broadly oriented and can help you in any genre. Whether you are a beginner or already play bass guitar in a band. The teachers of Leading is ready for you!

We think it is important that in addition to learning the necessary basics, your own favorite songs or skills are also given a place in class. That is why you and your teacher will work to get the best out of yourself and your instrument.

Dear reader,

I am a (nearly) graduated music teacher. I have been playing the flute for 15 years and during the training I studied singing, * (pop) piano and guitar. I can also help you with music theory. I have experience teaching children, young people and adults. I am very cheerful and helpful and believe that fun should be central when music is being made.

* By (pop) piano I mean piano lessons based on chords. I have progressed with this. Classical piano is not my field.

Greetings,

Renske S.

When I turned 10, my father gave me my first guitar, and since then I have fallen in love with the instrument. He taught me the intricacies of technique and music theory. In my lessons I can teach you about Blues, Rock, RnB, neo-Soul, Funk and Pop. We will work on the technology and underlying theory. We also work on recognizing progressions, chords and intervals. Together we experience your playing style and I teach you the intricacies of guitar playing. I would like to offer you tailor-made lessons and targeted results. Ready to get started?
