Hey! Want to learn guitar from scratch or improve your skills? Then you're in the right place!

I'm Gianni – a professional musician with over 10 years of experience and a master's degree in music education. I play guitar, double bass, and electric bass in a variety of stylistic projects.
When teaching, it's important to me that you enjoy the learning process and start making music from day one. You don't need to know lots of notes or chords to have a great time with music!

Depending on your interests, we can focus on technique, repertoire, reading music, music theory, improvisation, coordination (like singing and playing at the same time), and much more.
Lessons can take place in German, Swiss German, English, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish.

About Me
My name is Gianni and I am originally from Rome, Italy; I currently live in Basel, Switzerland, where I integrate several musical projects covering different genres such as jazz, pop and rock.


At that time, my musical career was mainly connected to the Swiss jazz scene; before that i mainly played in porto and northern portugal. 2022 comes with the release of “Dharma Bonds”, my first job as a bandleader; Recorded in July 2021 in the renowned studios of the OJM - Orquestra Jazz de Matosinhos - it consists only of author themes and is one of numerous collaborations of the Portuguese music scene.
Also in early 2022, “Koinè” will be released, the debut album by the band of the same name, composed almost exclusively by Brazilian musicians, on which I played double bass, electric bass and tenor saxophone.
In Switzerland I integrate the quartet of Daniel Wong, an acclaimed Mexican pianist currently living in Bern, and the Italian-Swiss quartet "Mycelio" with whom I have played in Switzerland and Portugal.
Education
I'm currently studying Jazz Performance at the Jazzcampus in Basel, with teachers like Larry Grenadier, Baenz Oester and Jorge Rossy.
Previously, I did my bachelor's degree in jazz double bass at ESMAE, Escola Superior de Musica and Artes do Espetaculo in Porto, Portugal, under the tutelage of musicians such as Demian Cabaud, Pedro Guedes and Paulo Perfeito.

My name is Gianni, I'm a professional musician, currently living in Basel and doing my master's degree in double bass at the Musik Akademie Basel.
I've been playing and studying music since I was 7 years old; I started with classical guitar, then electric guitar and electric bass, then I started double bass and lately I'm learning saxophone.

I would say my main instruments are guitar and bass and I have been teaching these for 5 years to students of different levels and different aspirations.
For me it is very important to understand what the student wants and needs to guide him on the best path; I also try to always make the classes a fun learning environment.

I could teach at my school - the jazz camps, in Basel - or at the student's home.

Hey! Want to learn guitar from scratch or improve your skills? Then you've come to the right place!

I'm Gianni—a professional musician with over 10 years of experience and a master's degree in music education. This guitar, bass, and electric bass kit is designed for stylish projects.
Lessons can be held in German, Swiss German, English, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish – whichever works best for you.

When teaching, it's important to me that you have fun and get into music right from the start. But we don't have to look at or listen to music, and one of the core elements of our music is there!
Depending on your needs, we can focus on technique, repertoire, notation, music theory, improvisation, or coordination (e.g., singing and playing simultaneously).

Sono un musicista e compositore specializzato in chitarra e nella musica Jazz, con esperienza nell'ambito Rock e Pop, e anche in altri stili musicali.
Nelle mie lezioni di chitarra imparerai le nozioni base per poter suonare questo strumento. Potrai imparare a suonare brani e riff della tradizione Rock e Pop, o canzoni Jazz come gli Standards o brani più moderni. Imparerai scale e arpeggi che ti saranno di fondamentale importanza per approcciarti al concetto di improvvisazione. Ebbene si, potrai imparare ad improvvisare e scrivere della tua musica!
Per i più "avanzati" si andrà più a fondo in argomenti, come la tecnica sullo strumento piuttosto che l'improvvisazione, lo sviluppo del senso melodico e ritmico o composizioni originali. Insieme studieremo brani e approfondiremo la teoria musicale per usarla nella pratica. Condividerò con voi i miei approcci per scrivere musica e sviluppare creatività.
Ma soprattuto, a prescindere dal tuo livello attuale, ti divertirai!
Non vedo l'ora di vedervi!



I am a musician and composer specializing in guitar and Jazz music, with experience in Rock and Pop, and in other musical genres. In my guitar lessons you will learn the basics of playing this instrument. You will learn to play traditional Rock and Pop songs and riffs, or Jazz songs as Standard or modern songs. You will learn scales and arpeggios that will be absolutely important for you to get closer to the concept of improvisation. Yes, you will learn how to improvise and write your own music!
For the more "advanced" we will go deeper into topics, such as the technique of the instrument, improvisation, the development of the melodic and rhythmic sense or your original compositions. Together we will learn songs and delve into music theory to put it in a practical way. I will share with you my approach for writing music and developing creativity.
But most of all, regardless of your level, you will have fun!
I am looking forward to see you!
