My journey :
My musical quest began 20 years ago, when I picked up my first bass. Since then, I've had the privilege of playing with various bands and artists, exploring a multitude of genres from rock and jazz to funk, blues and even rap. This experience allowed me to refine my playing, develop my musical ear and acquire a deep understanding of music as a whole.
My Pedagogical Approach:
My desire to share my knowledge naturally guided me towards teaching bass guitar. I take a personalized, student-focused approach, as I firmly believe that every musician has their own rhythm and goals. My goal is to provide a solid foundation, explore advanced techniques, and make music theory accessible and relevant to anyone who wants to master the bass.
What I teach:
- Basic and advanced bass guitar techniques.
- Musical theory applied to bass playing.
- Development of musical ear and improvisation skills.
- Exploration of different musical styles and interpretation of pieces.
- Advice on the choice and maintenance of your instrument.
My engagement :
I am passionate about the musical development of my students. Each discovery, each progress is a source of joy for me. As a musician and educator, I am committed to creating a positive, stimulating and respectful learning environment. My mission is to guide you towards your own sound, your own style and to help you achieve your musical goals, whatever they may be.

Education

I am a self-taught bassist and composer with a passion for sound creation and captivating rhythms. My relationship with music began as a personal adventure, a quest to express my most intense emotions through the haunting vibrations of bass.From my first chords to the discovery of each harmony hidden in the strings, my musical journey has been guided by curiosity and the desire to escape into unique sound worlds. Without academic training, I explored the recesses of groove, melody and composition with an experimental approach.
My Unique Style:
My self-taught approach has shaped an authentic and limitless musical style. I fuse hard-hitting grooves with emotional melodies to create a sonic experience that invites reflection and dance. Each composition is an emotional journey, a reflection of my experiences and my deep connection with music.
Creativity Without Borders:
As a self-taught composer, I am not confined by traditional rules. I experiment with sound textures, bold effects and unique structures to capture the very essence of every emotion I wish to convey. My compositions are stories without words, sound canvases where everyone can find their own meaning.
Future Collaborations and Projects:
My passion for bass and composition led me to collaborate with various musicians, thus broadening my creative horizon. I believe in the power of collaboration to transcend musical boundaries and create something truly special. In the future, I plan to pursue innovative projects that challenge convention and inspire a new generation of music lovers.
If you are ready to immerse yourself in a musical universe where grooves blend with pure emotion, join me in this sound adventure. Follow my explorations and discover the magic behind each note.
Experience / Qualifications
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
My life has been rocked by notes, grooves and musical experiences for two decades. As a composer and musician, I had the chance to explore various horizons through projects such as Alchemists, Path of Desolation, The Black Academy and so many others that I cannot name all of them.Alchemists: As a founding member of Alchemists, a Swiss band, I fused elements of progressive metal with atmospheric textures. The compositions are like alchemical experiments, transforming emotions into captivating harmonies.
Path of Desolation: This project allowed me to dive into the depths of extreme metal, creating dark and powerful soundscapes. As a composer, I have carved a path through the darkness to express a complex emotional palette.
The Black Academy: Here I explored the recesses of rock and groove, creating compositions that fuse harmonic innovation with the expressiveness of modern rock. Each note is a lesson in the art of musical creativity.
But my passion does not stop there. I have also explored other horizons, from rap to experimental music, shaping unique soundscapes that defy convention.
Each project is a sound world in its own right, an open window on my musical journey. I look forward to continuing to share these journeys with you and explore the endless corners of music together.

Special drum course, theoretical and fun.Drum lessons for beginner and intermediate students.
Teacher having followed the course of the Broye conservatory with Professor Jean Luc Lavanchy for 8 years, member of several Metal groups having toured both in Switzerland and abroad, I offer these services in order to discover or develop the passion for drums, the study of rhythm and musical composition.
The course is intended primarily playful and interactive. We will therefore define together the objectives that YOU care about. (Ex: play a specific song, learn to play in a group, learn to write your own songs, etc.)
The study of rhythm is via a course support (Syncopation for The Modern Drummer by Ted Reed) strongly recommended to have all the weapons to work efficiently at home!
The course is held on electronic drum, which allows a detailed and precise listening. That's why, if you have a good headphone, you can take it with you. Otherwise, you will be loaned one for the duration of the course.

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any levelI teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessonsI am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.
I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.
The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.
I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.
