Bassist / Composer / Arranger graduated from the Musicians Institute of Los Angeles.

I teach bass (beginner to professional) and guitar (beginner to intermediate).

I propose to transmit my musical knowledge to all those who wish to begin or improve ...

I master :
· Bass / All styles: rock, metal, jazz, Afro-Cuban music, Brazilian.

· Bass / All techniques: slap, tapping, finger games, harmonics, picking.

- Solfeggio: writing and reading
- Harmony: writing and reading.


I adapt to the level and tastes of the student and try to play it as much as possible. I strongly emphasize learning on the practice (choice of pieces by the student), supported by the theory so that the learning is a pleasure and that the pupil plays quickly his favorite pieces!

While creating a repertoire, we will work the ear, rhythm, technique.
I focus on practice, improvisation, and the relationship between you and your instrument in order to have fun on your bass.

Okay, but what are we doing?

The basics:

- the silence
- harmony (scales, chords, intervals)
- rhythm (binary, ternary, swing, shuffle)
- the sound (technique, nuance)
- the coding of the English chords (A = la, E- = E minor, etc.)
- the musical culture and the different ways of listening to music

A choice:

- improvisation (learning to play without partition, becoming able to play with anyone, anytime)
- group music in general (the modern bass, the different roles of the instruments in a group)
- jazz (standards, swing, notions of harmonies and improvisation)
- rock, funk (notions of groove, rhythmic placement, search for sounds, pentatonic scales)
- music games for children

The instrument remains a tool to make music, so we will work to become a MUSICIAN (with the help of a bass guitar).

Any age, any level (to be evaluated during the first class)

I preferably receive at home, or at least near my home (Paris EST). Having a busy musical life moves are to be avoided as far as possible.

Do not hesitate to contact me for further information!

Additional Information:

It is important for your teacher to match you musically (unless otherwise, if you want to fill in gaps, or discover a new genre). That's why I present myself in a few lines, so that you get an idea of ​​the kind of bassist that I am:
I started bass more than ten years ago, I first discovered the instrument alone (self-taught training).
I later played in several Rock formations. Rock I was interested in Funk (style in which the bass plays a key role). I then became more and more interested in improvisation and therefore Jazz music. I took two years of classes at the Conservatoire du 9ème arrondissement in Paris before joining the IMEP (formerly American School of Modern Music). Currently, I play in several bands: a jazz / funk band and a jazz / rock band.

My influences (in bulk): Jaco Pastorius, Weather Report Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, George Duke, Miles Davis, Funkadelic / Parliament, James Brown, Prince, George Benson, John Scofield, Hendrix, Zappa, Stanley Clarke, Al di meola, Paco de lucia, Bob marley, Marcus Miller, Kenny Garett, Bill Evans, Lettuce, Brecker Brothers, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu, Led Zep, Dire Straits, Rolling Stones, The Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Munir Hossn, Matthew Garrisson , Hadrien Feraud, Ron Carter, Linley Martha, Maceo Parker, Paul Chambers, Mike Stern, Bob Berg and many more!

I am an eclectic and curious musician, before any contrabassist. I am also a composer and arranger.

After a master of sociology I make the decision to train myself professionally; I return simultaneously to the conservatory of Agen in jazz and conservatory of Bordeaux in classical to learn bass.

Then, in 2014, I confirm a National Superior Professional Musician Diploma at the Pole Supérieur Paris Boulogne Billancourt through the training at the Didier Lockwood Music Center.

I was trained retrospectively by Jean-Paul Macé, Kent Carter, Gilles Naturel, Marc-Michel Lebevillon, Cristian Diaz, Jean Michel Charbonel, Chris Jennings, Cristophe Dal-sasso, and Carine Bonnefoy (for writing).

All these people have nourished my love and passion for music, which remains for me a long way to explore in search of new knowledge.

It is the diversity of cultures and the wealth of knowledge that drives me to continue to study everything within my reach.

I'm interested in jazz, classical music, Indian music, rock and electronic music ...

I hate taboos and separations between the musical worlds and I think that everyone wins to share their knowledge and their modes of operation.

My way of thinking about learning Music:

I prefer to stay on a principle of pleasure and sharing specific to music.

I find it important to adapt to feed the motivation of the student, especially for young people with whom it is very important to have a fun approach.

Too many students leave demotivated classes of music schools or conservatory; that I practiced for 5 years (since despite my criticisms I still have a prize of jazz conservatory and I followed the training to obtain the DE of jazz which is a diploma of pedagogy).

This involves learning the mechanisms based on improvisation, understanding chords, rhythm and melody.

Regarding the repertoire I am based on the culture of the students, after all they are the main concerned! So the choices of the pieces depend on the desires and the tastes.

The mode of learning depends on the musical style approached, for example I will not make music theory to someone who wants to play the AC / DC (unless he wishes) conversely a person who wants to address jazz can hardly do without notions about harmony.

The purpose of this approach is to develop the independence of the student. The teacher is there to accompany the student at the beginning; he must not become a guardian who can sometimes be transformed over the years into a crutch!

This is my way of seeing pedagogy!
