About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Welcome to My Apprentus profile.My name is Bret
I've been playing bass guitar for 13 years. And I have also been very actively working with this instrument for 13 years.
I play in bands like.
Fry Paula
Soundalicious
Dean Delannoit (2007 idol winner)
And as a freelance much more like.
Robin DeLaRuelle (the voice)
Peter De Roeck AKA Roekie (the voice)
And much more.
The nice thing about being able to do so many different projects is that you come into contact with many different styles. From Rock, Pop, Disco and Funk to Jazz and Blues. And even electronic music.
In short, every bass player can come to me!
Whether you have just bought a bass guitar for the first time and would like to get started as soon as possible.
When you're stuck and need that extra push.
If you would like to be able to slap like Flea, Mark King or Marcus Miller.
Or are you just interested in Jazz and walking bass?
I don't shy away from a challenge.
See you soon!
Education
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
After I had been playing bass at home on my own for 2 years, I decided to enroll in the conservatory of Mechelen where I took lessons for a while.Later it turned out that this conservative way of taking lessons was not really my thing and I started taking private lessons.
Thanks to my teacher who really believed in me, I was able to work in various bands and projects.
Since then, there are more than 30 performances on my agenda every year.
In short, playing a lot is a good learning experience, but a good teacher works wonders.
Experience / Qualifications

Already more than 200 performances on the counter in Belgium and the Netherlands.Nothing is more fun than being able to perform on a regular basis and entertain the audience. Whether at a festival of thousands of people or at a local cafe or even a live stream. I like to do it all.
As a bassist I also have many hours of studio experience on assignment for various artists. There is nothing that gives me more satisfaction as a bass player than a successful collaboration with other artists who are looking for a suitable bass line for their song.

You know you/your band has some music ready to go out into the world. But how do you start doing that yourself? Everything starts with a good recording of your music and then mixing and mastering it and then sending your beautifully finished songs out into the world. But how does that work exactly and what do you need?
Well I can help with that.
I teach you...
-Work with Presonus Studio One (my personal choice) or any other DAW
-How to record instruments and vocals.
-How to balance the instruments with volume, panning, EQ, compression and much more. (mixing)
-How to finish your mixed songs so they sound as loud and punchy as songs on Spotify and the radio. (mastering)
-How to work efficiently and easily with your DAW.
-How to create backing tracks that live along with your band's performance so that you get that extra professional touch.
I can also support you with the purchase of your equipment such as. Headphones, studio monitor, DAW, audio interface, microphone, ect...
See you in class!

Music Composition - GCSE and A-Level Students - Beginners to AdvancedThis class is designed for GCSE and A-Level music students eager to develop their composition skills in line with exam requirements. With a focus on originality and creativity, we will explore compositional techniques, musical structures, and stylistic understanding across a variety of genres. Each session will offer practical exercises and guided tasks tailored to exam criteria, encouraging students to build confidence and express their unique musical voice.
Through regular feedback, constructive discussions, and assignment of relevant exercises between lessons, students will gain a deeper understanding of music theory, harmony, and instrumentation to enhance their compositions. My goal is to challenge students to think independently and to prepare them thoroughly for the composition components of their music exams, all within a supportive and engaging online environment.

Classical and modern cello classes in Barcelona(Important! The schedules are now closing with the students I already have, so it is difficult to specify a definitive schedule for September)
Hello! I have been teaching classes continuously for more than 10 years and I would like to explain what you can find in a class with me!
- To begin with, the most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I would like to focus the classes according to what you need. For example, we will not put the same level of demand if you want to play for pleasure at home without haste or if you want to do some entrance exams to musical studies (although always with the same good rigor). The needs of each student can vary the methodology, the way of organizing the study sessions, the postural work, the repertoire...
- Once we know what we want to achieve and by when, classes will begin in a relaxed atmosphere. Important! Relaxed is not equal to undemanding or rigorous, just that we will try not to resort to military methods, especially given my character and sense of humor ;).
- Something important to note is that my methods are very dynamic and with special emphasis on the development of the ear and musicality. No reading, spitting and changing songs. I try to avoid methods that focus too much on the continuous reading of scores without memorizing, listening or understanding what is being done and why, especially so that later you can make your own aesthetic decisions and feel ownership of your performance. Alert! Maybe I'll even make you sing.
- Last but not least, it should be noted that given my training (I studied classical music and modern music and jazz at the Taller de Músics) my tendency will be to give the same importance to different types of music. We will adapt to your tastes and needs, but for me we can go from baroque to blues, from blues to Haydn's sonatas, from Haydn to bebop and from bebop to Michael Jackson. Why not?
If you like what you have read, do not hesitate to contact me. Learning to play the cello is a pleasure and I would love to share it with you!

Vocal Technique “Vocal Sensations” (English & Spanish)I teach vocal technique through body awareness. We’ll dive into the essential principles of singing: breath, resonance, and articulation. We’ll start with some breathing exercises to get warmed up, followed by vocal exercises to work on technique, and then you’ll get to sing a song of your choice.
We’ll also bust some common myths about singing, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can learn in such a short time!
It’s going to be a lot of fun!

Getting to Grips with Music Theory is simpler than you think!The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages.
Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable.
Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?
