A LIFELONG STUDENT OF THE BASS

Electric Bass Guitar Performance, Teaching & Composition

Jeremy LaBrooy is one of Melbourne’s most versatile and experienced bass players — a musician who has spent more than four decades exploring every corner of what the bass guitar can do. From intimate jazz trios to full-scale musical theatre productions, from recording studios to corporate stages, Jeremy brings rare depth of experience to everything he plays.

As a teacher, Jeremy has spent the better part of three decades helping students — from complete beginners to working professionals — unlock their potential on the bass. He has held senior teaching positions at Haileybury College in Keysborough, Beaconhills College in Berwick, and Killester College in Springvale, and has taught at tertiary level as a sessional bass instructor at the Australian Institute of Music. His approach is practical, encouraging, and rooted in real-world musicianship: students learn not just the notes, but how to listen, feel time, learn easy songs quickly, and express themselves through the instrument.

On stage and in the studio, Jeremy has performed and recorded across an extraordinary range of musical contexts. He has played bass in professional musical theatre productions, worked as a freelance session bassist for recording projects spanning jazz, funk, pop, and orchestral styles, and led and performed with multiple original and function bands across Victoria. His composition work spans film, advertising, and digital media — bringing the same musical intelligence he applies to performance into the creative process from the ground up.

Whether you’re a teenager picking up the bass for the first time, an adult returning to music after years away, or a professional looking to deepen your craft — Jeremy offers a teaching experience shaped by genuine love for the instrument and decades of real-world experience at the highest levels.
