Music Production, Recording, Mixing and Mastering Songs

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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!

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

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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.

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
Folk or classical acoustic guitar. The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation. For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Piano Lessons - all ages and levels - Classical music, pop/rock, etc. - with Piano Master's graduated teacher
Hello! I am a 29 years old classical pianist with a Master's degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag. I have taught Piano (and also Music Education) since 2016, to both children and adults. Teaching allows me to bring my passion and enthusiasm for music to the students, and I also find it incredibly rewarding to guide and follow their musical and technical development! I am easily adaptable to the student's musical tastes and expectations/goals in music learning, and I am also very mindful of how I communicate, according to the students' ages and personalities. I can teach classical music, pop, rock, or any other style. My approach consists of giving you the necessary theoretical knowledge for what you wish to play; involving you actively in the choice of the pieces/songs you will play; setting up a long-term plan for your repertoire, so that your development is made step by step in a challenging - but achievable - way (and this way, you will feel more motivated!); giving you enjoyable and creative practicing strategies; creating rich imagery revolving around the piece - by making up a story, relating the music to emotions, etc.; and also positive feedback! Thus, my lessons will allow you to: - Learn how to read scores. -Develop your musical understanding (from notes, rhythm, and harmony, to musical taste, and emotional comprehension of the music, or dive into aesthetic principles concerning the period and style of the piece,...). -Improve, step by step, until you are able to play that piece/song that you love. -Prepare yourself for exams. -Etc. Furthermore, I organize Students' Concerts, giving you the chance to play in a fantastic grand piano, and sharing with others all the work you've done! The best thing is that it's possible for you to learn all this and have fun at the same time! Any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Violin lessons: Fun-Filled journey! Lessons for children and adults!
Hello everyone! My musical journey began when I was just four years old, starting with the piano. Later, at the age of seven, I eagerly embraced the violin, adding its enchanting melodies to my repertoire. I achieved a professional mid-grade in both piano and violin. Fueled by my love for music, I moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands, to pursue a Bachelor's degree at Codarts University of Arts. Under the guidance of teachers like Natasha Morozova and Hed Yaron Meyerson, I refined my skills and nurtured my artistic vision. After completing my Bachelor's studies, I continued my musical exploration in Codarts' Master's program. Alongside my classical training, I've always been intrigued by the therapeutic potential of music. In 2023, I earned certification in Music Therapy, expanding my horizons and deepening my connection to the healing power of music. In collaboration with my colleagues, I am member of the Olga Trio. Our mission is to highlight the works of women composers throughout history. Our debut performance at the IV Concurso Nacional de Interpretación de Obras de Mujeres Compositoras was a proud moment, affirming our commitment to amplifying diverse voices in music. Beyond classical music, I've always been drawn to exploring different genres and styles. As a member of the Jong Metropole Orchestra in 2023, I relished the opportunity to collaborate with musicians from diverse backgrounds, pushing the boundaries of traditional musical conventions. In every note I play and every project I undertake, my passion for music shines through. It's a journey of exploration, growth, and discovery, and I'm excited to continue sharing my love for music with the world. I've been teaching during the last 8 years. I am flexible with the students needs and I embrace fun and creativity in my lessons.
