Dean (2007 idol winner)
Robin De La Rue (the voice of Flanders)
Rookie (the voice of Flanders)

- advice when purchasing equipment.
- Functional music theory for bass players.
- Different playing techniques. slap bass,
Finger style, playing with a pick. Palm mute, tapping or even a combination of any of these styles.

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.

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!

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any levelI teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Let's talk about music! Musical language, harmony, composition, various analyses, music in its sociocultural context or commented readingsHello! I've been teaching nonstop for over 10 years, and I'd love to tell you what a class with me offers:
100% personalized approach: The first step is to define your goals. Learning for pleasure? Preparing for entrance exams? Or taking the professional leap? I'll adapt the methodology, curriculum, and even the repertoire to your goals.
Dynamic environment (without losing rigor): Relaxed but demanding classes, where practical methods (and my irremediable sense of humor) prevail.
Hearing + Musicality + Analysis: We'll work on listening, understanding, and analyzing your musical references. The goal: for you to make artistic decisions with confidence and feel music as your own.
No stylistic biases: For me, all music is valid. We'll explore everything from classical to electronic, using each style to work on key aspects: melody, harmony, production... We'll even explore genres you're unfamiliar with together!
Important! I balance classes with concerts and projects. Although you're my priority, I appreciate the occasional flexibility to reschedule (only when strictly necessary).
If you like this approach, write to me! Learning music is an exciting journey, and I'd love to be your guide.

(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessonsI am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.
I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.
The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.
I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Learn how to play music from a real touring musician!Learn from a pro who's played Wembley Stadium, toured Europe, and worked with West End stars!
I'm Chris - a London-based multi-instrumentalist with years of real-world experience as a performer, musical director, and bandleader. Since 2015, I’ve taught over 100 students - from 6-year-old beginners to seasoned musicians - helping them grow their skills, boost their confidence, and connect more deeply with the music they love.
I’ve played bass for 80s legends Talk Talk, bass and keyboards for renowned tribute band Guns 2 Roses on national and European tours, been a musical supervisor and musical director for national theatre productions, and shared stages with cast members from Les Misérables, Book of Mormon, Dear Evan Hansen, Mamma Mia, and more. I've performed everywhere from intimate acoustic venues to the Royal Festival Hall and even Wembley Stadium.
My teaching style is practical, flexible, and student-led. I teach both online and in person from my West London studio, working with people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re looking to jam with friends, write your own music, get ready for a recording session, or just play for your own enjoyment, I’ll help you build the skills you need, and enjoy the process as much as the result.
I currently offer lessons in:
🎹 Piano and keyboards
🎸 Acoustic and electric guitar
🎸 Bass guitar
📖 Music theory (from the basics to advanced harmony and analysis)
🎓 Support for GCSE and A-Level music students
I believe lessons should feel creative, inspiring, and genuinely useful - not just a box to tick. I bring patience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of both music and musicians to every session, helping students unlock their potential on their own terms.
