Bass Lessons Utrecht
Hi! I'm Erwin Willemse, all-round musician and experienced bass guitar teacher in Utrecht. Starting from scratch or picking up the bass after a break? I'll help you boost your technique with personalised exercises and practical advice.
Favourite Playlist
Is your favourite music Pop, Funk, Jazz, Rock, Blues, Country, Latin or Soul? Let's go! My motivating bass lessons are open to both beginners as well as more experienced bass players.
My Inspiration
The list of bands and bassists that I find cool and inspiring is too long to mention here, but my tastes are broad and I listen to as many different types of music as possible to enjoy, get inspired and keep learning.
A few Examples?
Jaco Pastorius, Pino Palladino, Will Lee, Marcus Miller and last but not least Stuart Zender, first bass player and co-founder of Jamiroquai.
Beginners
We use modern methodes and personalised exercises to create a solid technical basis. You'll learn bass patterns, scales and if you want to read music and basic music theory. In no time you'll be able to play some heavy grooves or even some subtle bass lines!
Next Level Bass Lessons
If you are ready to move into more intermediate and advanced aspects of learning and playing bass, the focus is on learning specific skills and techniques that will help you improve and grow as a bassist.
How?
I'll help you discover how to improvise solos and play new grooves and bass lines. The lessons may cover picking, 3 finger style, double thumb technique, pentatonic positions, playing to the kick drum, off beat, cold sweat, progress and more funk!
Trial Lesson
In the trial lesson we discuss your goals, and what music you are interested in, lesson times, the lesson packs and you'll get an impression of my way of teaching. Looking forward to meeting you!

About Me
My fascination with groove and rhythym could have suggested a career as a drummer. However, the mysterious, deep sounds proved more attractive. I had my first performance playing the bass guitar while still in primary school.
After a series of adventures, completed and aborted educations and careers, the unavoidable became eminent.
Bass guitar
I longed for serious musical education and in 2006 I graduated at the Utrecht Conservatory, holding a degree in Bachelor of Music. I studied in The Netherlands with Theo de Jong, Wilbrand Meischke and Sven Schuster and in São Paulo, Brazil, with Thiago Espirito Santo.
Band Coach
From the start of my education I am active as a bass guitar teacher, workshop leader and band coach. Besides giving private lessons, I taught at the UCK (Utrecht), at De Kom (Nieuwegein) and at Muziekschool Vianen.
All Genres
I regularly perform in a variety of settings: with one of my regular bands, as a session musician or in projects. My experience ranges from Soul, R&B, HipHop and Gospel to Funk, Disco and Dance, and from Pop, Blues and Rock to Latin, Fusion and Jazz. I perform on stages in The Netherlands, Belgium, Israel and Brazil.
