Creative and jazz drumming; develope creativity and creative practice methods.
I'm a long experienced drummer and percussionist, specialised in improvised music, jazz and creative music in general, even though my professional activitity spans from contemporary to pop music.
I have accomplished my Bachelor and Masters study in Italy, and since september 2023 I moved to Basel to do a Specialised Master in composition, performance and improvisation.
With many years of experience in private teaching and two years as associate professor at the Conservatory of Milan, I love to deal with committed, passionate and curious musicians at any point of their musical carreer, weather they might want to study just for fun, passion, or as a way to enter the profesisonal world of music.
I'm available to teach to drummers and percussionist, as well as other instrumentists that may want to deepen their understanding and practicing on rhythm.
My artistic research is about time and space, that find their realisation in colors and rhythms. As I graduated also in Foreign Lenguages and Literatures, I like to have also a linguistic approach to music and to musical genres.
Some of my main practice interests:
- rhythm and dance
- rhythm and body
- rhythmic approaches in XX century music (mainly minimalism, serialism, spectralism, new music)
- historical approach to rhythm and music
- rhythmic folk traditions from different countries (india, africa, south america, eastern europe)
- polyrhythms
- odd meters
- microrhythms
I see music, drums, percussions and teaching as one of the most beautiful ways to deepen our humanness and understaning of ourselves and the others.

[RARE] Play-by-Ear Piano for Classical/Jazz Students and Church PianistsHi, my name is Sam. Do you know many students cant hear music as good as they could read music? No, you dont have to be born with perfect pitch to hear the notes in melodies and harmonies in the music. If you could tell red from orange, blue from indigo, as long as you are not "color-blind" to music (we call tone-deaf), then you can "hear" music too! With the right training of course!
Wish to play songs like your favorite Youtubers playing beautiful covers within hours of a new hit single release? Then this class is for you!

Listen & Play Piano
- Unlike the conventional "classical" method, this "modern approach" lesson, you'll learn to identify melodies, recognize chords, play different accompaniment styles, improvise (advanced level), and create your own personal style (advanced level).
Lessons include:
1. Active Aural Training
This is not the usual "classical exam format" aural exercises but practical aural techniques I've learned from my years of stage performance.
2. Chords
You will learn chord theory on harmonizing the melody and how to identify them just by listening to music.
3. Contemporary Accompaniment styles
This includes my bread-and-butter accompaniment styles I use in playing solo piano or keyboard in a band, and the knowledge I've accumulated over the past 18 years playing in church and band.
4. Music Theory on Pop Music
Music theory provides a systematic guide to your hearing so you'll understand what you heard and can even predict the harmony movement in most pop music.
