Bonjour ! Je propose des cours de contrebasse et/ou de solfège, pour les débutants ou plus avancés, jeunes ou moins jeunes. Vous êtes les bienvenus, que vous souhaitiez prendre des cours sur le long terme ou ou sur une courte période (possibilité de travailler la posture pour éviter les tensions et les maux de dos, cours de soutien ou avant un examen, ou pour retrouver de la motivation...). Je peux également donner des cours de contrebasse en complément de cours de jazz pour travailler la technique de main gauche et de l'archet. Je vous aiderai à acquérir une technique et une théorie solides afin de vous sentir de plus en plus libre et que la pratique soit de plus en plus facile. C'est un passage indispensable selon moi, et qui est agréable : cela permet de travailler en écoutant son corps, d'avoir confiance en soi et d'être heureux de se voir progresser. Le tout se fera dans la bienveillance et la bonne humeur. Si vous souhaitez prendre uniquement des cours de solfège, je ferai en sorte que vous puissiez vous en servir dans la pratique, que cela ne reste pas de la théorie. Le premier cours sera consacré, entre autres, à définir vos besoins, envies et objectifs. Vous découvrirez quelques pièces du répertoire que vous souhaitez aborder, comment baisser son stress si besoin pendant les examens ou concerts, tout cela dans le but de s'amuser, bien sûr. Pour une question de transport d'instrument, je ne peux pas donner de cours de contrebasse chez moi. Ce sera soit à distance, soit chez l'élève. Par contre, il sera possible que ce soit chez moi pour les cours de solfège, dans le premier arrondissement de Lyon. Dans ce cas, le prix sera celui des cours par webcam. Au plaisir de vous rencontrer !

Deux fois par mois, j'anime des Ateliers Jazz dans un studio du 10ème avec d'autres musiciens, un moment dédié au jeu en groupe, à l'improvisation, l apprentissage des conventions, dépasser le stress du jeu en groupe. J'attache beaucoup d'importance à la respiration, la décontraction et la posture, un travail approfondi permet une plus grande agilité et prévient les douleurs liées à la pratique. Instrument sur place inutile d'emmener le vôtre, avec rigueur et bienveillance je donne mes leçons en m'adaptant à votre niveau, vos ambitions. Je peux aussi vous orienter sur l'achat et la location de votre instrument.

The Contrabass is a marvelous instrument: powerful, subtle, demanding, astonishing. Graduated from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris in Jazz specialty and teacher (private individual / replacement in conservatory) for 4 years, I suggest you dive into the heart of his universe. For this I appreciate relying on a flexible method putting the passion and envy of my students at the forefront. Meet, establish a dialogue and move forward together towards a common goal: to have fun while making progress! My horizons: -The jazz double bass (walking bass, improvisation, sounds, repertoire, rhythm, theory ..) - the "general" technique (body position, right hand, left hand, flexibility, etc.) -the classical double bass (sound of the bow, phrasing, study of pieces ...) - "contrabassistic" culture (operation of the instrument, the undisputed masters, the repertoire in the broad sense ...) I am also an electric bass player (another wonderful instrument) graduated from the Marne and Chantereine conservatories. My method remains the same and I love to teach (and constantly learn) the greatest number of styles, repertoire, ranging from Rock to Funk through Pop, hip hop and Cuban music. All levels and all ages welcome! Classes can be taught in French, English or Italian. Robin.

Hello! I am Jennifer, double bassist based in Brussels. I enjoy teaching anyone who wants to play the double bass: whether you are just starting out or want to further develop on this magnificent instrument. Making music is central to my lessons and other aspects are also discussed from there: ensemble playing, technique (pizzicato and/or arco), ear training, theory. Because the double bass is a versatile instrument in so many musical styles, we can also approach this one. I like to share my great passion for all kinds of music. Curious? Be sure to send me a message and we will make a plan based on your wishes, agenda and interests! Being able to read music is certainly not a must, we can also tackle this during lessons.

I offer private lessons of classical double bass and jazz as well as electric bass and guitar lessons on all styles of music for children and adults of all ages and all levels. My priority is that everyone takes pleasure in playing while progressing. My teaching is based on personalized musical follow-up: Discovery, Leisure, Methodical learning and Improvement. The repertoire will be chosen according to the desires of each student. I am convinced that the theoretical fundamentals, remain essential to be accomplished as a musician. However, it remains obvious to me that the practice of the instrument goes hand in hand with a more theoretical teaching. It is for this reason that my students touch the instrument from the first lesson. My teaching allows to acquire the musical fundamentals while having fun, without demotivation.

I graduated in Master Performance and Master Pedagogy at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève and I have been playing the double bass since 2012. Currently I am a double bass teacher at AIDA in Gland and a substitute at the Conservatoire Populaire de Musique de Genève. As a teacher, I focus on the student's technical difficulties, without forgetting the theoretical and sentimental aspects of music.

To learn double bass is a winning decision in the competitive world of music due to its high demand in orchestras, chamber music, bands and recording sessions. During the lessons you will learn from a professional and improve your musical skills such as rhythm, intonation, musicality and develop a profound sense of sound quality. All the lessons are planned in advance, based on the student's personal interests and needs.

Hi, I'm a french bassist based in London. I'm looking to give courses to people who want to learn bass basics or more advanced stuff, as much as technical skills (like slap) to harmony and theory. Also can give Upright Bass courses. I can learn several music styles, from jazz standards to pop/rock through hip hop and funk for all levels. I can also play bass synth and a little keyboard and guitar. I learned music at the Conservatory of Paris in France, starting cello at 5 in classical music, then started bass and upright bass at the jazz department. I have a lot of band experiences, from a small band to big band, played a lot of music styles with them like Latin, fusion, jazz-rock, funk, soul... As many covers as there are compositions. I'm also productor for rappers or singers, producing on Logic Pro X. So if you're interested to learn in those areas, I can help you whatever your level. Feel free to contact me if you have questions !

The world of teaching is familiar to me. Indeed, I have been working as a private music teacher in France for 5 years. In addition, in Venezuela, I worked as a music teacher in schools, at university and at the conservatory. Capable of adapting quickly to new professional environments, I have a particular interest in teaching and education, and I attach great importance to pedagogy. Depending on the motivation of the students and their age, I am able to find methods likely to adapt to each experience. I provide my lessons in a fun way to fully understand the musical language through ear training work (or ear training), conferences, the piano as a tool to understand the instrument studied. I also dedicate part of the time to Technical Aspects (very important to avoid undesirable posture effects). For me it is very important to make the technique of the instrument well understood, to promote the musical awakening of each student and to develop the ability of each person to follow their own musical path and their desires.
