Creative bass guitar lessons where the songs are central
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Bass guitar lessons with a holistic, "all-round" character.We will practice the lessons together and we will use your best songs for this. I believe that if you have deep emotional contact with a piece of music, the learning process will also become faster, cozier and smoother!
Our main themes:
- technique and overview of the bass (where?)
- general music theory, ear training (why?)
- creative improvisation and composition (what?)
- rhythm, tempo, phrasing and feeling (how?)
For adults and teenagers, lessons last 1 hour. For all levels from absolute beginner to conservatory level.

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Dear Prospective Student,My teaching practice came about as a form of practice and self-development about a decade ago. After relocating to the Netherlands and finishing my second BA in Jazz Bass guitar at the Amsterdam Conservatory, step-by-step I worked out my own method based on my experiences as a performer of popular, progressive and jazz music, feedback from my most loyal students and observing my favorite music teachers both in person and online. I like to keep my exercises interactive and up-to-date!
The special feature of my lessons is that they are 100% tailored to the student's own music taste, learning style and level of experience - I firmly believe that a deep emotional connection with the material being studied makes learning more fun and much easier!
Aside from the essential ear training and technique exercises I urge everyone to explore their creativity (building their own grooves, learning about songwriting or playing improvisation games) and deepen their very own musical taste.
- It's a holistic approach, but with an eye for little details. -
Looking forward to seeing you,
Rita

Band playing lesson, all styles, all instruments. Get your band playing to the next level !Sign up for a band playing lesson as an individual instrumentalist, and you will be paired with other like-minded musicians to form a band. I will pair musicians of similar levels and who share similar musical interests together.
We will meet once or regularly based on the students availability, and will go over the basics of what it means to play in a group, put a repertoire of music together, and take your musicianship to the next level. Too often when learning an instrument, we fail to do what is ultimately the end goal of these long hours spent practicing : making music with others. This is also a great opportunity to meet fellow musicians and share your passion with others.
PS : at least one to two years of experience on your instrument is recommended to sign up for band playing lessons.

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any levelI teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessonsI am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.
I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.
The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.
I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.
