Classical double bass lessons

Private double bass tuition with Jonathon Coco, Principal Double Bass of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

With extensive experience as a principal orchestral musician, chamber performer, and educator working with Australia’s leading training institutions, Jon offers structured, individualised lessons supporting progression from beginner fundamentals through to professional audition-level playing.

Lessons are shaped by a career that includes long-term principal and associate principal orchestral appointments, international touring, and collaboration with leading chamber ensembles and artists. Teaching is grounded in efficient practice methods, clear technical frameworks, and the musical demands of modern orchestral playing.

All instruction is taught using the German bow, with careful attention to posture, setup, sound production, and healthy technique from the outset.
