I'm a long experienced drummer and percussionist, specialised in improvised music, jazz and creative music in general, even though my professional activitity spans from contemporary to pop music.
I have accomplished my Bachelor and Masters study in Italy, and since september 2023 I moved to Basel to do a Specialised Master in composition, performance and improvisation.

With many years of experience in private teaching and two years as associate professor at the Conservatory of Milan, I love to deal with committed, passionate and curious musicians at any point of their musical carreer, weather they might want to study just for fun, passion, or as a way to enter the profesisonal world of music.
I'm available to teach to drummers and percussionist, as well as other instrumentists that may want to deepen their understanding and practicing on rhythm.

My artistic research is about time and space, that find their realisation in colors and rhythms. As I graduated also in Foreign Lenguages and Literatures, I like to have also a linguistic approach to music and to musical genres.
Some of my main practice interests:
- rhythm and dance
- rhythm and body
- rhythmic approaches in XX century music (mainly minimalism, serialism, spectralism, new music)
- historical approach to rhythm and music
- rhythmic folk traditions from different countries (india, africa, south america, eastern europe)
- polyrhythms
- odd meters
- microrhythms

I see music, drums, percussions and teaching as one of the most beautiful ways to deepen our humanness and understaning of ourselves and the others.

This class is open for musicians of any level and any instrument who would like to engage in a deep studying of rhythm.
We'll deepen exercises for improving timing, rhythmic perception, rhythmic phrasing, looking at rhythm from different perspective and approaches, delving into listening and (when desired from the student) transcribing.
I believe that understanding rhythm is a foundamental skill for musicians of any genre, and mastering it can be afforded from anyone willing to patiently practice it.

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!

Sebastián
Lessons of trumpet, jazz harmony and improvisation for all instruments. Around 15 years of teaching experience. FR/SP

My name is Sebastián, Argentine trumpeter, trombonist and composer based in Basel.

Since I was 18 years old I am working as a professional musician. I have worked in many educational institutions, such as EMC (School of Contemporary Music) Berklee International Network as Professor of Trumpet, jazz ensemble, and musical notation, in “Orquesta Juvenil del Sur,” an orchestra for underprivileged children, as a trumpet teacher at St Andrew's Scots School and as a private teacher.

Apart from my teaching experience I was selected to participate in the renowned Focusyear Basel program along with seven international musicians at Jazzcampus Basel during 2020/2021 and after the end of the program I decided to start a master in composition in the same institution. Already the first year I had the honor of being chosen to arrange music for the wind ensemble of the prestigious MIT University (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and also to write original music for the Jazzcampus Big Band. I graduated from the Jazz career of the Manuel de Falla Superior Conservatory of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina and I received an Honorable Mention from the National Endowment for the Arts from Argentina in Unpublished music in the Jazz category and I also released my first album released by the Chicago label, United States Ears & Eyes Records. In 2019 I was chosen as revelation musician by the Argentine media "El Intruso". I am also working as a producer recording in my home studio.
