Double Bass Lessons in Brussels-Ixelles (German bow)

Hello,

I am currently working as a double bassist with the Brussels Philharmonic, in Belgium and I've been teaching double bass since 2009.


I started playing double bass at the age of 12 at the Calouste Gulbenkian Music Conservatory in Aveiro. I continued my studies at the Escola Superior de Música de Lisboa, where I obtained a Bachelor in Music and a Master degree in Music Teaching.
In 2014 I started my Masters in Music at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg and I was also Akademistin at the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester.
I have extensive experience as a Freelancer with various Orchestras such as NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest, Orquestra Sinfónica de Galicia, Hamburger Symphoniker, Gulbenkian Orchestra, Orquestra da Casa da Música do Porto, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic, Dresden Philharmonie, etc.

I was double bass teacher in Portugal at Orfeão de Leiria and at the Conservatory of Music in Alhandra and in Hamburg at Gymnasium Lerchenfeld.

Jazz Double Bass / Improvised Music and Electric Bass lessons
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.
