About Me
Samuele is a singer and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Trento, Italy. He started playing flute when he was 7 with classical music education at Minipolifonici and later at F.A. Bonporti Conservatory in Trento. Later on, he started singing blues and playing harmonica when he was 16, performing around the whole region of Trentino-Alto Adige. He then matured interest in jazz and started playing saxophone when he was 19. Samuele’s influences rotate around blues and jazz and their common sub-genres, as do his musical projects. In 2011, he started to perform with an Italian blues band called “Curly Frog & the Blues Bringers” playing more than a thousand shows around Italy, Austria, and Germany and recording two albums with original compositions, winning various music competitions, including “Music 4 the Next Generation”. The latter gave Sam the chance to tour with the Haydn Orchestra performing his original compositions.
After obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in jazz flute at F.A. Bonporti Conservatory, Sam is currently studying in the Jazz Department of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (NL), under the guidance of Robert Bonisolo and Simon Rigter, amongst others.
In Amsterdam, Samuele is working as a musician and bandleader of a number of projects, namely “The Hi-Stakes” (Swing/ Rock ’n Roll) following in Louis Prima’s footsteps; “Roaring Cats” (Hot Jazz/ New Orleans Style) jumping on the bandwagon of Fats Waller, and finally “Jelly Roll Duo” (Rural Blues/ Ragtime/ Bluegrass) bringing alive old-time music flavors. The way he studied the various repertoires, through a philologically conscious approach, guarantee a thought outperformance, always accompanied by a sophisticated sarcasm and dynamic enthusiasm.

Matteo
Hi!

My name is Matteo, I'm a professional bassist from Brussels, currently based in Amsterdam.
I perform and have performed with renowned musicians and bands from many different scenes and styles, bringing me to venues all over the world (USA, UK, Germany, Denmark, France, Romania, Portugal, Spain...).
I have a deep passion for music ever since I started playing 16 years ago, and would like to share it with you!
Bass is the best! And I want to help you uncover it's full potential.
I believe the best way to learn music is to study what you love, and always work from a place of curiosity and passion.
Therefore, we will always look together for ways of making the process the most enjoyable and tackle different topics through the music YOU love. The classes are tailored to each individual student: we find the best workflow for you, and adapt the lessons. If you need structure and a clear program, I can provide that; but if you prefer to keep it loose and see as we go, it's all good. All that matters is your continued motivation and progress.
Among other things, we can focus on:
-Basic technique on the instrument
-Learning songs of your choice, with a method that will allow you to learn songs by yourself later on.
-Learn about different styles: Pop, Rock, Funk, Soul, Metal, Jazz...
-Develop your understanding of music through the instrument (scales, arpeggios...)
-Creativity, and improvisation through the use of the material we have studied together
-Ear training and music theory
-Rhythm, all the way from basic to very advanced
-Basic compositional techniques, or fun ways to start composing

I have been teaching privately for the past 6 years, with very happy students. I can also teach online if it's better, I also have regular online students with whom we are making great progress.

For the lesson, there is no need to bring an instrument: I can lend you one.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Marine
My name is Marine, I'm 28 years old and I've been playing the piano since I was 12. A graduate of the Chantilly Departmental Conservatory in France (training obtained alongside my baccalaureate), I also studied jazz for two years in a specialized school, then in jazz piano classes at the conservatory. My musical approach is therefore rich, lively and open, far from rigid classical patterns.

⸻

🎯 For whom?
• Children from 5-6 years old, teenagers and adult beginners
• No prior knowledge required
• Ideal for those who want to discover the piano while having fun, without any professional objectives

⸻

🌟 My teaching methods

The idea is not to learn the piano as a constraint, but to experience it as a pleasure, a way of expressing yourself and discovering your own musicality.

✅ Method without traditional music theory: we work by ear, drawing inspiration from videos (such as “synthesia”), well-known songs and film music.
✅ Progressive but natural learning: we start with popular music (cartoons, pop culture, film music – Disney, Harry Potter, etc.)
✅ Objective: to develop listening, musical sensitivity, interpretation, creativity, and the pleasure of playing
✅ Gentle introduction to improvisation and the first elements of jazz, if the student is curious.

⸻

🎶 Why me?

• Experience with children and adolescents (I have already helped several young people learn their favorite music)
• Lessons adapted to each student: I attach great importance to their musical tastes, their desires, their pace
• Caring, encouraging approach focused on the enjoyment of music
• I am French-speaking, but I can also adapt to an international audience if necessary.

⸻

📍 Where?

• At home (Amsterdam, De Pijp)

⸻

✨ If your child dreams of playing Let It Go, Harry Potter or The Lion King on the piano, or if you yourself finally want to dare to put your hands on a keyboard, I would be delighted to accompany you on this musical adventure.
