Double Bass Lessons -Beginners-Advanced
Hello! I'm Luciano Poli, a friendly and enthusiastic bass teacher and Jazz bass player in Capelle a/d/IJssel and Rotterdam area. Although traveling from stage to stage, I'm ready to help you out to discover the double bass and to develop an excellent technique and feeling for music.
Jazz - Latin - Classical
The double bass is a versatile instrument and in every genre the bass is indispensable and literally forms the basis for timing, harmony and structure. With me you can delve into jazz, bossa nova, tango, folk or classical and everything in between.
Plucking and Bowing
Discover different picking techniques. Your hand largely determines what works best for you. Bowing is especially important for classically oriented bassists. It's excellent for in-tune playing for any bassist!
Improvisation
Improvising solo's is fun and I'm sure you'll love to explore the skills. Discover your creativity and get the tools to express yourself in an original way. You will learn to play more interesting solos and walking bass lines and everything about chord progressions, swing, timing and groove.
My favourite Bass Players?
I have always listened to all kinds of music, and I love pretty much all of it. Paul Chambers, Ray Brown, Christan Mc Bride, Ron Carter... too many to list them all. I am happy to share with you what I have learned from them!

About Me
I started to play bass when I was 16 and began my formal studies at the age of 18 in my native country Italy. In 2004 I moved to The Netherlands to complete my studies in the Royal Conservatory of The Hague with a Bachelor and Master degree in jazz double bass.
Dedication
Since then, I am fully booked with live playing and teaching. This is my one and only occupation. During all these years I have earned a lot of experience which is very supporting when it comes to teaching my students.
