Drums Lessons for all levels / Find your unique and personal Voice on this instrument!

If you've been eager to get better in jazz music and therefore studying all its different styles and drummers, I can help you for sure!
Particularly, I've studied in deep Tony Williams' and Elvin Jones' playing, so if you really want to improve that kind of vision and sound I can give you some great hints such as transcriptions, analysis, sound strategies and many video materials.
Also, I am specialized in Funk/Hip-Hop music and that kind of groovy world. So, I've been mastering a specific approach to this genre as well.

About me:
I've been playing drums since I was 6. I got my Master Degree in 2022 at Salerno Music Conservatory (Italy) in Jazz Drums and Percussion.
I've been doing the role of Assistant Professor at KCB with Stéphane Galland throughout the 2023.

About Me

Hi there!
I'm Matteo from Salerno, Italy and I've been into music since I was 6. Therefore I've gained experience in the musical field, as a teacher and a live and recording musician.

I run my own Neapolitan Jazz/Funk band: C'ammafunk and collaborate with some national and international musicians like Dario Deidda, Daniele Scannapieco, Vanessa Haynes, Baba Sissoko, Romain Labaye and more.

Education

I've got in 2022 my Master Degree at Salerno State Conservatory studying with the great drums teacher Salvatore Tranchini.

I'm currently living in Brussels since I've started a trainee program at KCB as Assistant Professor of the Jazz Drums class led by Stéphane Galland.

Experience / Qualifications

I've got behind me hundreds of national concerts and some of them abroad too.
I also know how to produce and mixing a song, since I led my Italian band and co-working with some other musicians in terms of producing and sound design.

Ultimately, I really like teaching students, trying to communicate my vision and approach to the music with the goal to emphasize their own music sensibility and inner voice. So my goal is to give you a solid technique which it'll need to serve you in order to express yourself in the best way possible.

Reviews (2)

Excellent teacher! Super friendly, clear explanations! Methodical and patient!
Matteo arrived on time, and is an incredibly friendly and patient teacher.
My course is based first on you. I like developing with you a program adapted to your facilities, your difficulties as well as your goal. It is aimed at everyone, children and adults, complete beginners and more experienced musicians looking for advice, a method or outside advice. Autonomy, creativity, curiosity and listening are the main 4 words for me! I can teach you drums in many styles (rock, funk, jazz, shuffle, pop, linear, world music, songs on demand) and in its many forms AND of course music theory, which can be integrated into the course if necessary, but also be the subject of a private lesson for students who wish support for their courses in an academy or at the Conservatory. This will help you for sure to reading scores, as well as sight reading.

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Edis
Private lesson in electric bass, all styles of music
FRENCH: I have been in music since I was 5 years old, I decided to make it my job and so I studied at the Brussels Conservatory (Master level). I specialize in jazz but my favorite field remains Groove music. I also went through a lot of styles (rock, funk, pop, reggae,...) during my years of learning the bass. To get an idea of my playing style, my main influence in Jazz bass is Dario Deidda. I'm very inspired by "underground" bands from Brussels like Stuff, ECHT, Tukan, Jean-Paul Groove, Ciao Kennedy,... Abroad I could mention Athletic Progression, KUF, Takuya Kuroda, Vels trio, Vulfpeck (and dozens of others!) Without forgetting the classics like Parliament, Earth Wind and fire, PUSH, Jamiroquai,... I don't have a particular method. Unless my student requests it, my lessons are done by feeling according to his desires and his objectives. We can very well just learn pieces and at the same time deepen the technique and the knowledge of the music if requested. The goal is to have fun.
