Playing Double Bass & Electric Bass in a Band Context

Interested in being the backbone of a band? I'm Jonathan Ho, and I am here to help you!

In our lessons, we focus on:
- Bass Techniques
- Establishing Rhythm and Groove
- Understanding Harmonic Progressions
- Creating Your Own Basslines

I prefer a more interactive flow of lesson where we share openly about issues and ideas. I am not limited by preference of style, and any level of experience or knowledge is welcomed.

I teach mostly online, or at my place. I am also able to travel anywhere within Rotterdam.

Feel free to drop me any questions, or contact me for a lesson :)

About Me

I have been playing the double bass professionally for 10 years, traveling between Singapore (my home country), Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Mexico, Lithuania, Belgium, Germany, and now The Netherlands. I play mostly jazz, like to compose, and have classical training on the piano. I also play the electric bass.

Since I began my studies at Codarts, Rotterdam, I have been under the mentorship of Stefan Lievestro, Marius Beets, and Frans van Geest.

Trombone for any level - Beginner, Intermediate, Professional
In Italy I taught in 4 different schools of music, there I had the opportunity to gain a lot of experience with students of all ages and all levels. I have had many children pupils, who approached the trombone or another brass instrument for the first time, as many amateurs of all ages who needed a guide for their path, but also adults with a great knowledge of music, who wanted to perfect themselves and find inspiration to cultivate their passion. If you are approaching the Trombone for the first time, there are NO requirement, book your lesson and you will try the instrument at my place, then if you want to progress you will need to buy your own instrument. If you are an amateur or you already study in another school but you want to perfect yourself or you need any help for any issues, just come by and we will see together your level and what you need to improve. Many masterclasses all around Italy and abroad taught me that every student is different, and a teacher can change your life just by saying the right sentence, we will work together. I have several methods to study any technical issue of the trombone, and a lot of inspiring exercises, we will find together the books that fit you better. To have a proper education, I take care about ear training, singing, and of course breathing and body posture as well, I want you to feel good with your instrument and to approach to the music in a relax and funny way.

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.
