About Me

Hello to all music enthusiasts! At 35 years old, with over 15 years of experience as a professional musician, I am delighted to meet you. My musical journey is defined by a degree in jazz guitar awarded by the Superior Conservatory of Music of the Basque Country, Musikene, and my participation in the prestigious Focusyear program in Basel. These experiences have enriched my understanding of music and refined my artistic skills.

I have had the privilege of performing on numerous European stages, both as the leader of my jazz and rock bands and as a sideman alongside talented artists. However, my musical commitment does not end there. I have also had the opportunity to release numerous albums, both under my own name and as a collaborator. These albums reflect my artistic diversity and dedication to authentic musical expression.

My musical journey began long before my formal studies. Music has always been my passion, my muse, and my path. I grew up exploring the melodies, rhythms, and harmonies that fill our world, and my guitar became my preferred means of expression. When I joined the Superior Conservatory of Music of the Basque Country, Musikene, it was a crucial step in my musical education. This renowned institution allowed me to refine my technique, develop my theoretical understanding, and immerse myself in a variety of musical styles that enriched my musical language.

Another significant milestone in my journey was my participation in the Focusyear program in Basel. This program of excellence opened doors to an even wider musical universe. I had the opportunity to collaborate with renowned musicians, explore uncharted musical genres, and push the boundaries of my creativity. It was a period of intense artistic growth that profoundly influenced my approach to music and teaching.

As a performing musician, I have had the pleasure of sharing my music with diverse audiences on many European stages. My experience as the leader of jazz and rock groups allowed me to develop my musical identity and refine my style. Playing as a sideman alongside other talented musicians has also been a constant source of inspiration, offering me the opportunity to learn and grow through collaboration.

However, my passion for music extends beyond the stage. Over the past 10 years, I have also embraced the role of a music teacher. Teaching has become another facet of my musical career, and it brings me immense satisfaction. I have worked with a variety of students, from children to adults, from beginners to experienced musicians. Each of my students is a source of inspiration, and I have had the privilege of guiding them on their own musical journeys.

My teaching approach is deeply rooted in the belief that each student is unique. I strive to create a positive and personalized learning environment where your musical preferences, goals, and learning pace are at the center of each lesson. Whether you want to start with the basics of the guitar, perfect your technique, or explore advanced composition concepts, I am here to guide you through every step of your musical journey.

The typical course with me is designed to maximize your progress and enjoyment:

1. We start with a warm discussion to assess your progress since the last lesson. It's also an opportunity to share your recent musical experiences and discuss your challenges or achievements.

2. Next, we review the concepts covered in the previous lesson or the piece you have learned. We focus on resolving any difficulties to ensure a solid understanding.

3. Thirdly, we jointly decide on the new material to work on. You have the freedom to choose a new piece to learn, explore a theoretical concept, or perfect a specific technique.

4. Finally, we dive into learning the new material. Whether we dissect a piece, explore a new technique, or delve into theoretical concepts, each lesson is a unique musical adventure.

I am an eclectic teacher, open to all suggestions. Your voice matters, and I am here to help you realize your musical aspirations. For those passionate about jazz, know that I also offer a highly in-depth exploration of this rich and enchanting style, guiding you through its subtleties.

My promise is to make the learning of music as exciting as possible. My commitment to music and your success is unwavering. Join me in this wonderful musical journey, where each chord is a new discovery, and music becomes an essential part of your life. Together, we will create a symphony of learning, and I would be honored to guide you throughout this journey.

Education

With a Bac S, a DEM in classical guitar, a DEM in jazz guitar, and a Bachelor's in Jazz Guitar from the prestigious Musikene Conservatory in the Basque Country, I bring a rich academic background. Additionally, I was a member of the esteemed Focusyear program at the Jazzcampus in Basel. This diverse education has honed my skills across genres and deepened my understanding of musical intricacies. My commitment to excellence is reflected in both my academic achievements and my practical experience as a professional musician with a penchant for delivering engaging and personalized lessons. Join me for an enriching musical journey tailored to your unique aspirations and abilities.

In my career, my life is frozen, my Lust, my Motivation, and my Ratschläge, my life is erroneous. Even though the settings are individual and personal, the programs are different.

Since I have been teaching violin and music, not a day has gone by without me saying to myself that motivation and pleasure are the greatest drivers of learning. This is why I always favor a relaxed and work-friendly atmosphere during my classes. Technique is of course of great importance to me.
I teach musical initiation, music theory and the viola which I practiced in chamber music and of course the violin, my main instrument with which I perform in several orchestras and ensembles.

My primary focus is on creating a personal connection and approach to the chosen instruments and to music in general. This includes (depending on your wishes, of course) your own musical expression, improvisation, songwriting (with lyrics if desired), song accompaniment and improvisation, as well as music theory and instrument-specific references.

Stylistically, the focus is on blues, rock, folk pop and world music, with strong references and influences from classical music, hip hop, electronic music and jazz.

Course for beginners and advanced students

My course focuses on the personal realtion between the individual, the chosen instruments and the music itself. This includes musical expression, improvisation, songwriting, songwriting, interpretation as well as music theory and specific aspects of the instrument.

My musical background lies between blues, folk, rock, pop and world music with influences from classical, as well as electronic music, hip hop and jazz.

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!

I offer lessons in Classical music theory at all levels - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.
Whether you're struggling with the basics, or want to take what you already know to the next level, I'll adapt our lessons to your needs and guide you through what you need to make it.

Trained in Classical and Early music, and having studied performance in harpsichord, organ, piano, classical and electric guitar, I've also studied chamber music composition and electroacoustic composition. A passionate learner myself, I have recently graduated with a Masters from the Hochschule für Musik Basel in Specialized Performance (Improvisation). These diverse experiences are necessarily integrated into what I teach and how.

In my theory classes we’ll look at the fundamentals of rhythm, pitch, solfège, intervals, key signatures, cadences, and other important groundwork whose rigorous study we can then apply to real-life examples of music, helping you acquire a sharper analytical ear.

I look forward to working out a comprehensive approach to improving your music theory skills, please feel free to get in touch!

Hey! Want to learn guitar from scratch or improve your skills? Then you've come to the right place!

I'm Gianni—a professional musician with over 10 years of experience and a master's degree in music education. This guitar, bass, and electric bass kit is designed for stylish projects.
Lessons can be held in German, Swiss German, English, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish – whichever works best for you.

When teaching, it's important to me that you have fun and get into music right from the start. But we don't have to look at or listen to music, and one of the core elements of our music is there!
Depending on your needs, we can focus on technique, repertoire, notation, music theory, improvisation, or coordination (e.g., singing and playing simultaneously).
