I have over 25 years of experience playing the bass guitar having taught myself to play by ear from a very early age. I also learnt to play piano whilst young which will enable me to be able to teach you chords, scales, progressions and when it comes to song genres, I'll be able to help you to groove/jam along to different riffs ones such as reggae, gospel, soul, r n b, etc.

So whether you're a beginner who wants to learn the bass guitar from scratch or you already know how to play, but feel that you want to develop your playing to a higher standard... then I'd be happy to help you out

It will be a relaxed and fun environment that I will look to create, so there'll be no need for you to worry about feeling tense or under pressure.

My method is ... LEARN BY MAKING YOUR MUSIC!

The student will learn techniques, stylistic elements, tricks ... already by working on his first tracks: to keep motivation and satisfaction high, the result is always visible!
The lessons are face-to-face and personalised according to the level of experience and the musical style of the student. The presentation of the information is clear and accompanied by practical examples.

I'll show you how to:
- use Ableton Live,
- program and control synthesizers and virtual instruments,
- use microphone and sound card to record your voice and your instruments,

I also speak Spanish, French, German and Italian.

I currently offer teaching and mentoring in the following areas:

- Music/Audio Production

- Guitar Performance

- Music Theory

My methods are generally adapted to each individual’s needs and objectives, however, they do not include classical music training approaches, such as sight reading or formal classical music training. Instead, my approach focuses on developing an intuitive understanding of music, through understanding elements such as intervalic structures, mathematical permutations, analogies derived from other disciplines etc. The ultimate goal of my approach is to allow the individual to form a way of thinking, which will allow she/he to compose, produce or play ANY type of music.

I am a professional violinist with over 15 years in the industry. Graduated from Guildhall School of Music & Drama - this year rated the UK’s best music conservatoire and in the top 10 in the world.

I can help you learn proper posture, expression, technique, how to save energy, how to stay relaxed and enjoy the music!

After just finishing my baccalaureate in cello performance and education, and my postgraduate in performance, I am even more able to help my students excel. I've worked with ages 4 - 70 and all my students have had wonderful progress. I've taught hobbyists, aspiring professionals and competitors.

If you are interested in learning the art of playing cello, give it a try! You won't regret it!
