    Bass and Double Bass lessons for all levels and genres

    Bass is the key instrument for every band or ensemble since it has the function of being a bridge between rhythm and harmony. The range of styles that the Bass can cover is basically limitless; from a prominent position like in funk and fusion to the background of pop and rock music the versatility of the instrument gives you the unique possibility to explore any genre you're into.

    My lessons will follow a program tailored to you and your goals.
    Discover this amazing instrument by learning the songs you love or diving deep into all the important skills that make a great session bass player.
    With my help you can also learn music theory, reading scores, jazz harmony and improvising.
    From the very first lesson, you will be able to jam with other people:)


    "It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself." J. S. Bach

    About Me

    I'm a bass and double bass player from Palermo, Sicily. In 2017 I moved to Tilburg, Netherlands, in search of bigger opportunities. I'm studying bass at Fontys Academy of Music and Performing Arts where I'm able to cultivate my love for all kinds of Arts and I'm in a position to exchange ideas and collaborate with many talented artists.
    ​I love to play in large ensembles, Big Bands, and Orchestras. Professional and versatile.

    Education

    I studied Electric Bass at Vincenzo Bellini Conservatory in Palermo and Double Bass at Brass jazz club.
    I studied Electric Bass at AMPA Conservatory Tilburg where I graduated in jazz Double Bass.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I approached the instrument in my early adolescence by playing in a few blues rock bands in my hometown. In my last years of high school, I got closer to jazz and started studying bass guitar at the conservatory V.Bellini of Palermo and at the same time double bass at the Brass group. There I started to play with a few jazz ensembles and simultaneously with a grunge band. In 2017 I moved to Tilburg, Netherlands, in order to continue my studies in jazz bass guitar at AMPA. In there I played in many jazz venues and events and had the opportunity to work with many international artists to create experimental performances.
    In 2019 I changed my major to jazz double bass and graduated in 2022.
    Since then I played and recorded with some of the best jazz musicians in Palermo.

    Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
    For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

    Jazz Piano, Jazz improvisation, Jazz Chord Progression, singing on your own piano accompaniment,
    I studied Jazz at Berklee College of Music. I was a classic pianist. It was not easy to adjust my classic chord progression to Jazz progression. There must be many people struggling to play jazz with classic music fingering. I can help you to make your sounds like real jazz music. Playing piano is so much fun, When you play, you got to sing.and make it more fun. Most of the piano course start with white keys in C major. My lesson starts with F#/Gb scale which is the pentatonic scale. You won't have any fear to deal with black keys. You are not supposed to count music. You need to feel it, groove it and enjoy it. Let's have fun together!!

In a nutshell, I am a professional pianist, vocalist, lyricist and blogger. Since 2014, I have taught in various music schools, teaching piano, ensemble, jazz vocal, and solfege.
