Double Bass Videos and Study Tips

A few years ago I discovered something I didn’t know about myself. During the pandemic, I didn’t really miss going out — walking my dogs in the park was enough for me. I didn’t miss the orchestra concerts that much either. I could play double bass at home, study at home — I love studying, so that was fine. But without my students, without being able to explain anything to anyone, I was really struggling.

I remember teaching my partner the basics of piano during that time. Not because he wanted to learn — but because I needed to teach. Something, anything! It’s my nature. It always has been, and that’s when I saw it clearly.

When classes came back in online format, I took it further. I decided to record videos not just for my students, but to challenge myself to explain it in just one minute and share it on Instagram (it was the social media boom). I started posting and students came from everywhere: Mexico, the US, Italy — I even connected with people from Africa. I realized that without having planned it, I had built an online academy.

A year later I made it official, created my website for double bass players, and today I have students all over the world. These videos were part of that beginning.
