Contrabass, electric bass and ensemble lessons in Amsterdam. All levels all ages!

My name is Ignacio Pintó and I am a Spanish bass player living in Amsterdam. I moved to this lovely city four years ago to study the Jazz Double Bass Bachelor at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I am in love with music, my main occupation right now is working in projects that excite me deeply, trying to bring new sounds to the world through composition and improvisation. I love sharing this excitement and knowledge with people. That's the reason why I have developed a flexible system to organise music development, based on my recent experience. In the lessons we will focus on the music you love and find ways to develop the skills it requires in a methodic way, always having fun in the process. We will also playfully explore creativity and improvisation, my ultimate goal is finding your voice as a musician and helping you develop it! Although double bass is my main instrument now, my first steps as a musician were given with bass guitar. I also have experience teaching that instrument and I feel equally capable of helping you develop those skills. You can expect an personalised program, with prepared lessons based essentially in your musical interests and goals, potentially covering these topics among others: double bass technique, bowing, electric bass technique, jazz repertoire, ear training, music theory, improv techniques, rhythm, composition, basic production skills, basic piano skills. If interested, next to the bass lessons I could also arrange ensemble lessons connecting you with fellow musicians of similar interests and skill level.

Do you want to learn or improve your Spanish skills? I deeply love my native language and sharing it with other people is a pleasure for me. I will adapt the lessons to the level and interest of the student, choosing mainly between two modalities: traditional lessons where we go through the grammar, vocabulary and build a solid understanding of the language, or conversation lessons, for more experienced students that just want to talk with a native teacher that can correct mistakes and develop your your vocabulary.
