Electric Bass Lessons (Pop, Blues, Rock Funk & Jazz)
My name is Minas. I've worked as a professional musician since I finished high school, playing live with bands of different genres and recording original music with several groups. I've also toured with my band in Greece, northern Europe and the UK several times. I studied in a music high school and then continued with double bass classes in a local concervatory and then in the State Conservatory before moving to the Netherlands to continue my studies on electric bass. Here I continue to play in two bands, composing and recording original material.
When teaching electric bass, my main target is for the student to understand the philosophy behind the bass and its role in a band. Certain techniques are explored and we focus on harmony, creating bass lines and playing solo. The lessons plan is shaped depending on the student's needs and interests.

About Me
I believe positive energy is very important in the learning process! I keep a positive encouraging attitude towards the student, trying to come closer to him/her instead of building distance by being formal.Communication is the key to get to know a student's needs. It's important for me to know what they're interested in and what they want to learn instead of overwhelming them with information.
Although I've spent years learning through playing covers and studying the great bass players and artists I admire, I always strive to focus on composing original music and I hope to inspire my students to do the same.

Eyal
Guitar, Bass Guitar, Music Production, Song Writing, and Music TheoryEyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including rock, blues, jazz, classical music, electronic music and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach, which can be adjusted to every student separately.
Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing in a party or jumping on stages, reading notes or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is helping you finding that out, and guiding you through your personal process.
Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

About me
I’m a passionate musician with over 20 years of experience playing acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, and 15 years of teaching others to share my love for music. Growing up, I spent 8 years playing in a church band before heading to university. Although I went on to study engineering and then human resources, I continued teaching music — whether online or face-to-face.
Have you ever listened to a song and wished you could just pick up a guitar and play along without checking the chords? My lessons will give you the tools to play by ear, enabling you to join in effortlessly and confidently without relying on chord charts. Whether you’re picking up the guitar for the first time or refining your technique, I offer a flexible and personalised approach to help you achieve your musical goals.
