Double bass, Electric bass, Improvisation, Music, Jazz, Classical, Pop, Rock!
Do you want to play bass?
Do you want to learn more about music?
Do you have a music group that needs a coach?
I can help you with that!
My name is Alessio and I am an Italian professional double bass/bass player with degrees in classical and jazz.
I've been living in the Netherlands for over 10 years and I have more than 15 years of professional "live music" experience, including teaching children and adults.
I have always believed in the power of music to connect with others and forge relationships across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
In my opinion, the music discipline is one of the best drivers for a student to learn deeply about themselves.
In my lessons, we will make sure to cover many aspects of playing, from the physical approach to the instrument (especially important for double bass players) to the personal musical expression.
Depending on your wishes and needs, we can focus on:
Genres: jazz, improvisation, classical, pop, rock, metal, funk, blues, etc...
Learning deeper: ear training, harmony, theory, music theory
Band coaching
All levels (beginner, intermediate, conservatory preparation)
Online lessons possible and personal lessons possible in Rotterdam and The Hague
Languages: I can teach in English, Italian, and Spanish

Jazz Piano, Jazz improvisation, Jazz Chord Progression, singing on your own piano accompaniment,I studied Jazz at Berklee College of Music. I was a classic pianist. It was not easy to adjust my classic chord progression to Jazz progression. There must be many people struggling to play jazz with classic music fingering. I can help you to make your sounds like real jazz music. Playing piano is so much fun, When you play, you got to sing.and make it more fun. Most of the piano course start with white keys in C major. My lesson starts with F#/Gb scale which is the pentatonic scale. You won't have any fear to deal with black keys. You are not supposed to count music. You need to feel it, groove it and enjoy it. Let's have fun together!!
