    About Tom B.

    My name is Tom. I am a professional jazz musician based in Brooklyn, and I hold two degrees in jazz performance: a Bachelor of Arts from the Jazz Institute Berlin and a Master of Music from Manhattan School of Music New York. I have been playing both double bass and electric bass for 12 years and have been teaching privately since 2012. My hours are flexible, and I am always willing to negotiate on rates. Also, I offer the first lesson at no charge to the students, so you can see if you'd want to continue to work with me.

    Experience

    Professional Musician

    I have toured with various groups in Germany, the United States, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Slovakia and Romania. I was a semifinalist in the Jazz Competition of the International Double Bass Convention “Bass 2010″ in Berlin. With the “Tobias Meinhart Quintet” I won the First Prize and Audience Award at the Getxo Jazz Festival in Spain. Together with The Major Minors and Cherilyn MacNeill I received the German Academy Award for Best Filmscore for the movie “Oh Boy” in 2013. The same year we won the German Critic’s Award for Best Soundtrack at the Berlin Film Festival Berlinale.
