I am an eclectic and curious musician, before any contrabassist. I am also a composer and arranger.

After a master of sociology I make the decision to train myself professionally; I return simultaneously to the conservatory of Agen in jazz and conservatory of Bordeaux in classical to learn bass.

Then, in 2014, I confirm a National Superior Professional Musician Diploma at the Pole Supérieur Paris Boulogne Billancourt through the training at the Didier Lockwood Music Center.

I was trained retrospectively by Jean-Paul Macé, Kent Carter, Gilles Naturel, Marc-Michel Lebevillon, Cristian Diaz, Jean Michel Charbonel, Chris Jennings, Cristophe Dal-sasso, and Carine Bonnefoy (for writing).

All these people have nourished my love and passion for music, which remains for me a long way to explore in search of new knowledge.

It is the diversity of cultures and the wealth of knowledge that drives me to continue to study everything within my reach.

I'm interested in jazz, classical music, Indian music, rock and electronic music ...

I hate taboos and separations between the musical worlds and I think that everyone wins to share their knowledge and their modes of operation.

My way of thinking about learning Music:

I prefer to stay on a principle of pleasure and sharing specific to music.

I find it important to adapt to feed the motivation of the student, especially for young people with whom it is very important to have a fun approach.

Too many students leave demotivated classes of music schools or conservatory; that I practiced for 5 years (since despite my criticisms I still have a prize of jazz conservatory and I followed the training to obtain the DE of jazz which is a diploma of pedagogy).

This involves learning the mechanisms based on improvisation, understanding chords, rhythm and melody.

Regarding the repertoire I am based on the culture of the students, after all they are the main concerned! So the choices of the pieces depend on the desires and the tastes.

The mode of learning depends on the musical style approached, for example I will not make music theory to someone who wants to play the AC / DC (unless he wishes) conversely a person who wants to address jazz can hardly do without notions about harmony.

The purpose of this approach is to develop the independence of the student. The teacher is there to accompany the student at the beginning; he must not become a guardian who can sometimes be transformed over the years into a crutch!

This is my way of seeing pedagogy!

I offer private lessons of classical double bass and jazz as well as electric bass and guitar lessons on all styles of music for children and adults of all ages and all levels. My priority is that everyone takes pleasure in playing while progressing. My teaching is based on personalized musical follow-up: Discovery, Leisure, Methodical learning and Improvement. The repertoire will be chosen according to the desires of each student.

I am convinced that the theoretical fundamentals, remain essential to be accomplished as a musician. However, it remains obvious to me that the practice of the instrument goes hand in hand with a more theoretical teaching. It is for this reason that my students touch the instrument from the first lesson.

My teaching allows to acquire the musical fundamentals while having fun, without demotivation.

The world of teaching is familiar to me. Indeed, I have been working as a private music teacher in France for 5 years. In addition, in Venezuela, I worked as a music teacher in schools, at university and at the conservatory. Capable of adapting quickly to new professional environments, I have a particular interest in teaching and education, and I attach great importance to pedagogy.

Depending on the motivation of the students and their age, I am able to find methods likely to adapt to each experience. I provide my lessons in a fun way to fully understand the musical language through ear training work (or ear training), conferences, the piano as a tool to understand the instrument studied. I also dedicate part of the time to Technical Aspects (very important to avoid undesirable posture effects).

For me it is very important to make the technique of the instrument well understood, to promote the musical awakening of each student and to develop the ability of each person to follow their own musical path and their desires.

As a former professional bass player who accompanied various groups around the world (Louisiana Red, Champion Jack Dupree, John Thomas, Francisco Zumaque, Lou Blackburn, among others), I offer private jazz bass and double bass lessons.

With nearly twenty years of experience in the music industry, I specialized in teaching music, particularly in the fields of jazz, blues and improvised music. I adopt a natural method of learning music that emphasizes listening and playing. Gradually, we introduce the reading of notes according to the rhythm of each student.

Thanks to this approach, students are able to play from the first lesson. The last part of each session is devoted to practice through group play sessions (piano, double bass, drums).

Classes take place in our private room located at Porte d'Orléans. In addition to individual lessons, we offer ensemble lessons for interested students, as well as the possibility of participating in our choir.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information. I look forward to sharing the music with you.

My lessons are personalized and dynamic. They combine instrumental technique with ear training, applied theory, and repertoire that most motivates the student. My goal is to train not only competent bass players, but well-rounded musicians who understand their role within a band and develop their own artistic voice.

• Stimulate creativity and personal expression through the instrument.

📦 INCLUDED MATERIALS

• 🎧 Audio files (play-alongs) for practicing in a real context.
• 🎼 Customizable repertoire: pieces chosen by the student, adapted to their level.
• 📚 Modules of harmony and theory applied to bass.
• 🎶 Improvisation material: scales, rhythmic patterns and stylistic language.

🔄 METHOD STRUCTURE
1. Initial assessment: diagnosis of musical level and interests.
2. Personalized plan: selection of the directory and definition of short/medium term objectives.
3. Dynamic lessons: combination of technique, repertoire, ear training and improvisation.
4. Continuous monitoring: progress recordings, personalized feedback and adjustments.

🎸 CONTENT BY LEVEL
• Beginner: posture, chords, basic grooves, rhythmic reading, simple pieces.
• Intermediate: slap technique, major and minor scales, walking bass, intermediate level repertoire.
• Advanced: extensive techniques, modern harmony, free improvisation, complex repertoire.

👨‍🏫 PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
• A flexible method that adapts to the student's tastes and objectives.
