Bass guitar lessons in Hengelo
Are you looking for a bass guitar teacher in Hengelo? Then you’ve come to the right place! I am a qualified bass teacher with over 25 years of experience and give bass guitar lessons in Hengelo to children, young people and adults. I also give double bass lessons; see the separate listing for this on this website. I work freelance and also for music schools, amateur orchestras and youth orchestras, among others. In the lessons, we work step by step on technique, musicality and enjoyment of playing, tailored entirely to your level and goals.
I am a freelance double bassist and bass guitarist, working throughout the Netherlands with orchestras, ensembles and bands. I am classically trained, so you will mainly find me playing in classical orchestras and ensembles and brass bands. I also play jazz and world music, both on double bass and bass guitar. Musical theatre and pop music are also regular features of my repertoire.

[X]A lesson usually lasts one hour. For young children in primary education, half an hour is the recommended lesson time. For children/young people (school pupils), a weekly lesson schedule is most appropriate. For adults with busy schedules, individual appointments offer more flexibility.
[X]Lesson times are negotiable. For weekly lessons, I have fixed days and times. These will always be in the afternoon or evening.
[X]I teach all ages and levels. If you take lessons at my private practice, you must have your own instrument. I can assist and advise you on renting/borrowing or purchasing an instrument. If the lessons are organised through a music school or association that provides instruments, we can make arrangements accordingly.
