Alessandro graduated with honors at Conservatoire “G. Martucci” in 2008, obtaining a Bachelor Degree in Classical Saxophone. He then moved to Belgium, where in 2013, he got a Bachelor Degree in Jazz Music at LUCA (Lemmens Instituut) in Leuven, studying with Frank Vaganèe (Leader of the Brussels Jazz Orchestra). Here he founded a new jazz band called L- Town Connection, winner of Dinant Jazz Festival Young Talent Contest in 2011. Alessandro then continued his studies at CODARTS in Rotterdam, obtaining his Master’s Degree in Jazz in 2016 and studying with the teachers Simon Rigter, Dick De Graaf, Ben van den Dungen and Milan Bonger.
He has collaborated and performed with various artists such as Frenna, Giacomo Turra, Akua Naru, Sly5thave, Ed Motta, Young Gun Silver Fox, DeWolff, Dawn Brothers,Shirma Rouse, Ghostface Killah (Wu- tang Clan), Dj Yella (N.W.A.) and many others performing at renowned venues across Europe and USA such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Lowlands, Melkweg, Couleur Café, Koninklijk Concertgebouw Amsterdam, De Doelen, Gentse Feesten, Vienna Sunsplash and many more. .

I teach drums to beginners to more advanced students.

The classes are made to make the learning process fun but also consistent and most important I teach you what you like the most and help you achieve it.

I help students to deeply understand how drumming works and which methods and techniques can support their learning process.

Music theory is an invaluable tool both in the creative process and the analysis of musical pieces. With a good grasp of basic concepts, one is able to both communicate with fellow musicians and take control of their musical journey. It also makes it easier to start learning new instruments. I aim to make learning fun and easy for people of all levels and as a multi-instrumentalist, I will give you practical applications for theoretical concepts. The idea is to give you the knowledge and power to play what you feel.

I am a freelance musician, performing with several orchestras across Europe.
I have recently finished my Masters Studies in KASK Conservatorium, Belgium and am currently living in Oslo.
Passion for music was the main vehicle that brought me to where I am now. But a big part of the origin of that passion came from the teachers I had contact with.

.....

I am offering violin lessons, to all kind of ages and levels!!
Obviously, violin doesn't come only by itself which means all the theoretical needs such as rhythm, harmonies, solfege, etc. will also be taught.

If you would be interested in trying this beautiful instrument, send me a message!

I teach students from Primary school, all the way to Performance Degree level. Through my years of performing and teaching I have learnt how to teach and interact with all different personality types with a view to meeting their individual needs.

With my online courses I look forward to helping students get to where they want to be. Whether it is playing along to your favourite songs, sitting a Drum Exam for Rockschool or Trinity, or turning Drumming into a professional and sustainable career. We can take it as far as you like.

I have several location options if not online.

My life is all about music and creativity. I'm a proudly self-taught multi-instrumentalist and an eternal student.

EARLY CAREER
I worked in London as a session musician and touring drummer and pianist for more than 10 years with Shaw Thing Artist Management. I played with talent including Joy Crookes at much-loved places such as The Roundhouse, Abbey Road and The Edinburgh Festival. I also worked as a private tutor during this time, helping 50+ children and adults learn drums, piano and bass - many of whom got all the way to Grade 8.

TODAY
In 2022 I moved to Brighton for a new musical chapter. I now work as a composer/sound designer and creative director for award-winning artistic projects and brands including premium travel company Kuoni. I’m my happiest when I’m creating and making things happen, co-ordinating talented teams to get the job done.

I also offer a transcription service, delivering detailed scores which I create by ear. You can check out examples of my transcriptions on my YouTube channel.

Finally, I am an examiner for Rock School & Yamaha, assessing students across a range of popular instruments, and continue to teach one-to-one in-person and online.

PROJECTS & AWARDS
I am the producer of a short film titled When We Fell, featuring an original soundtrack released under my artist name Spoon. In 2021-22 it was presented at festivals worldwide, won three awards and was nominated for the Audience Award by the prestigious British Animation Awards.

I have also released a video game that music-lovers will enjoy called Keep The Music Alive, a retro 2D platform game that follows the creative journey of a composer - and features beautiful Contemporary Jazz/Classical tracks.

QUALIFICATIONS
I have a BMus in Music Performance & Production from the London Centre of Contemporary Music (LCCM) and am currently studying an MSc in Music and Sound for Film and Games at the University of Hertfordshire.

Tutoring Experience
The benefits of learning an instrument are huge. It boosts your memory, abstract reasoning skills, creativity, confidence, patience and relieves stress. Most importantly it is fun. I teach the drum kit, piano, theory and composition. I love sharing my passion with my students, supporting and empowering them to become the best they can be. I’m big on inspiring my students to continue progressing between lessons, independently, focussing on technical ability, stylistic understanding and the development of their own musical voice.

If you choose to take graded examinations, I have a strong track record of getting students high marks. I’m an examiner myself, so I know exactly how to prepare you. Grades 6-8 practical / theory give you UCAS points equivalent to A levels, and grades 5-6 are regarded as equivalent to GCSE level. It’s a great way to stand out when applying to schools and universities.

I teach children and adults 1-to-1 from my home in Brighton, at students’ homes and online. Students coming to me benefit from access to industry standard equipment and software - invaluable experience for any aspiring, modern musician. I hold an Advanced DBS Certificate and have many testimonials and references (upon request).

Tutoring Approach
I love to learn and find ways to improve myself on a daily basis. I aim to instil this passion for self development in all of my students as I believe self education, the desire and motivation to improve yourself as the most useful tool to learning any skill.

If you are looking for an open, approachable, experienced and fun practitioner to help unlock/realise your potential then this one is for you.

We can cover approaches to:

Lyric writing, rhythm, harmony, melody, arrangement, instrumentation (inc. vocals if required), sonic (production) to breath more variation into your existing songs or develop new material together - happy to explore your goals and see where we can go from there. Happy to teach on an instrument and/or using a DAW (Ableton preferred)

I have been working in the industry as an independent artist/top-line/co-writer for the past 18 years, alongside tutoring budding songwriters, musicians and emerging artists for the past 12 years using an extensive knowledge base developed both on the job and by undertaking my BA and MA qualifications.
