Classical double bass lessons in The Hague, for beginners to advanced musicians.

My name is Carlos, and I'm delighted to share my passion for music with you, I teach classical double bass in The Hague.

I consider myself fortunate to have studied under remarkable teachers, and I am eager to pass on the insights and techniques I’ve gained along the way. My journey led me to London, where I learned from the esteemed Rinat Ibragimov and Luis Cabrera. I then continued my studies at the renowned Moscow Conservatory under the guidance of the legendary Evgeny Kolosov (who was Rinat’s teacher) and Grigory Krotenko, who both instilled in me a deep understanding of the art. For the past seven years, I have had the privilege of working as the assistant principal in the Musicaeterna Orchestra under Teodor Currentzis in Saint Petersburg. Now, I have happily arrived in the Netherlands as a freelance musician, ready to inspire and nurture talent in others.

If you find yourself facing any technical or musical challenges, I’m here to help! Together, we can:

- Develop a relaxed right-hand technique that will empower you to produce a rich, resonant sound with ease, all while safeguarding against injury.
- Hone your right-hand skills for impeccable intonation and effortless position changes.
- Train your ear for perfect pitch and intonation.
- Explore legato playing and various bow strokes for expressive performances.
- Refine your musical phrasing to elevate your artistry.

Whether you are preparing for auditions to enter a conservatory or an orchestra, or if you are a complete beginner eager to embark on this musical journey, I am here to support you every step of the way.

I offer lessons in my cozy home studio or can travel to you within The Hague. At my place, you'll find a welcoming space equipped with a double bass for you to use during our sessions, making it an ideal environment for practice and growth.

I look forward to embarking on this musical adventure together!

Robin
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.

Because the double bass is a versatile instrument in so many musical styles, we can also approach this one. I like to share my great passion for all kinds of music. Curious? Be sure to send me a message and we will make a plan based on your wishes, agenda and interests! Being able to read music is certainly not a must, we can also tackle this during lessons.
