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.

Learn to play with real groove, technique and confidence - whether you're picking up sticks for the first time or want to take your playing to the next level. In our lessons we work on technique, rhythm reading, groove in different styles (pop, rock, jazz, latin, odd meters), timing and coordination, repertoire with songs you choose and improvisation. Lessons take place in my studio in Basel, fully equipped with a drum set and recording gear. I'm Agnese, a professional drummer and composer with a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Drums (Amsterdam) and a Master's degree in Jazz Composition (Rotterdam), plus over 10 years of performing and teaching experience across Italy, the Netherlands and Germany. I love adapting my method to each person - patient but focused, and always aiming to make you want to keep playing after the lesson ends. Ready to start? Let's set up a first lesson and see where we can take your playing.

Je joue du piano depuis 15 ans, de la batterie depuis 10 ans et de la guitare depuis 5 ans. Je peux dire avec confiance que j'ai bien appris à m'enseigner moi-même rapidement et à m'entraîner sur un instrument, ce que je voudrais partager avec tout le monde. Devenir un très bon joueur ou même un virtuose est beaucoup plus facile que tout le monde ne le croit, et j'aime bien enseigner cette compétence aux gens, que ce soit aux débutants, aux joueurs intermédiaires ou aux musiciens avancés. Qu'allons-nous faire? On va apprendre à lire la notation, improviser, jouer des pièces musicales, composer, avoir l'air cool en jouant et se faire plaisir. J'ai enseigné la batterie depuis des années en français, anglais et tchèque — j'ai aussi enseigné aux enfants à Park Lane International School à Prague, une école prestigieuse dont les élèves ont remporté cette année un concours international de musique.
