Bass guitar lessons in Ghent - West African and other music styles

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a singer-bassist from Mali with international experience with Rokia Traoré, Ben Zabo and Afrikän Protoköl. I mainly play African music (Desert blues, Afro-beat, Mandingue, the Congolese Seben, etc.) but also other genres such as blues, funk, pop and free-jazz.

In my lessons you develop your musical ear and you learn to play by feeling. No scores, no theory. We fully focus on the practice and the pleasure of making music.

Creative bass guitar lessons where the songs are central
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.

Eyal
Guitar, Bass Guitar, Music Production, Song Writing, and Music Theory
Eyal 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.
