Study bass with the pros!

To the Academy!
BassAcademy.com® is the first professional bass academy in The Netherlands and Belgium and a worldwide educational platform for bass related classes and support. It was officially released on September 1st 2020. Thanks to our patented webshop model, you do not have to register or subscribe; you can easily purchase private master classes without any obligations. Let's play bass now!

History.

The concept of BassAcademy.com® was first developed and registered as a trademark by our executive director Jos Kamps in 2011. Dutch session bass players Jens Dreijer, Jos Kamps and Willem Keijzer provided very succesful master classes for BassAcademy.com® in 2016 as pilot projects.

Vision.

BassAcademy.com® will allow you to study (through private master classes) with the absolute pros: well-known bass players or bassists playing for famous artists. Top bassists usually only teach at a conservatory etc. As a passionate (hobby) bassist you want to study with your heroes as well. BassAcademy.com® makes it possible!

The internet is full of anonymous pre-recorded video tutorials. We believe in and focus on live interaction between student and teacher. After all, it is about you and your personal development! You will get to meet your bass hero and receive custom bass picks and a BassAcademy.com® certificate afterwards.

Via BassAcademy.com® you can study bass guitar, acoustic bass, synth bass etc. at the location of the bass teacher and/or online. We'll also organize exclusive group master classes and other bass related events.

FAQ.

  • Can I order a trial lesson?

    BassAcademy.com® is meant for bass players who want to improve and study with the pros! They already know what they want! You can always attend our scheduled (group) master classes. That's a great opportunity to talk to other bass enthusiasts.

  • When is 21% VAT applicable?

    Music education to young people up to 21 years of age is legally exempt from 21% VAT. This also applies to schools and educational institutions in The Netherlands.

  • Until when can I redeem lessons?

    The validity period is stated for each product. This takes effect on the day of purchase. A specific date is agreed for coaching and workshops.

  • Can I pass on a lesson package?

    No. If someone has started with the private master class package, the remaining sessions cannot be transferred to other people. The teacher counts on the same student in his/her preparation.

  • Do you stick to school holidays?

    We don't think in terms of teaching weeks and holidays, that's outdated! Most students want to continue during school holidays, then you finally have time for hobbies. You actually buy time from a bass teacher. Within the validity period of your package, you organize these hours yourself according to your own wishes and availability, in consultation with the teacher. Isn't that cool?

  • Can I get a refund?

    The right of withdrawal (reflection period of 14 days) that applies to online purchases does not apply to services (to be redeemed within a specific period or on a specific date). If you have any doubts about purchasing a private master class package in advance, you can request more information from us.

  • I have a great tip!

    BassAcademy.com® wants to offer the very best quality. Your feedback is worth gold! Do not hesitate to send us an e-mail with your experience and/or tips! We handle it with the utmost confidentiality and will always reply to you.
