Enrique in a nutshell

I like to have a friendly approaching, adapting the lessons to the needs and feedback of the students and creating a dynamic environment between theory and practical exercises.

I am a very passionate musician and I like to infect people with my enthusiasm for music and especially for the electric bass.
I like to have a friendly approaching, adapting the lessons to the needs and feedback of the students and creating a dynamic environment between theory and practical exercises.
The starting point is to get a basic music theory knowledge as it is the foundation for developing technical exercises that allow you to grow up.
Once that foundation is solid we'll dig deep in complex theory. Same with rhythm and techniques because becoming an instrumentalist is a mix of these things.
Sometimes I provide pdf, videos with backing tracks or partitures as a guide to create a routine of study and playing.
We will learn songs that helps to understand how theory works and from time to time we play songs chosen by the student to stay motivated and eager to learn.
I worked professionally ten years with several ensembles touring across my country so I had the chance and duty of learn and play lots of different music styles so as part of the journey I like to share my knowledge through many different styles: Jazz (classical and modern), Rock, Funk, Blues, Pop, Metal, Latin (salsa, cumbia, merengue...), Flamenco and more.
In my opinion is always good and fun to be open minded with music styles because they handle different metrics, rhythms and techniques.
It isn't mandatory though.
Always willing to help students to develop their own style and getting a full toolbox of resources to use when playing.

So I just had my first lesson with Enrique, and I have to say... its my first time I hear the bass being played in such a melodic way. I did not know that was even possible. In our first lesson I learned a lot about his background, way of teaching (you're gonna learn by exploring different techniques to encompass elements of each into your own style!), and of course some first basics (3,4 and 7,8 only half a step, natural fifth etc). I think he's a great teacher, as he seems to have the passion for it. I will be continuing my bass journey with him!

Enrique is a very passionate, patient and very helpful tutor. Besides that he's an absolute monster and true inspiration as a musician, he's also very fun to work with. He goes the extra mile to make me successful which means a lot to me. He's truly dedicated, driven and comes with a proper and full understanding of musical theory. It's fun to spend an hour every week and I love the progress that I achieved through his work. I normally never give 5 stars because there's always room for improvement but he truly deserves a "cinque stelle" / perfect rating. Well done for employing him Tutorful! ciao, Manuel
