About Me

Sébastien is both an electric and an acoustic bass player. Born in France in 1996, he started to play the bass at the age of thirteen.

He first practiced rock n’ roll music in Dijon, his hometown in France where he met Michel Thévenard, a bass teacher that taught him a « proper » technique to play the electric bass. Within this program of three years, he discovered Jaco Pastorius, Mark King, Richard Bona, Cliff Burton (first bass player of Metallica) and his taste was of course mainly orientated into rock and metal music.

In the meantime in highschool, he started a rock/fusion band called Muphin. In this band, we saw a few musicians that are continuing their studies and musicial travels. Among them : a jazz drummer called Emilian Ducret, now in Paris. They played a lot together in a brass band called Ze Tribu Brass Band that is managed by Zutique Production in Dijon.

In 2014, he started to study at the university and to learn the double-bass at the « Conservatoire Régional de Dijon ». After being quiet disappointed with the university and the lessons that he had in Dijon at the conservatory, he decided to move to Chalon-sur-saône (a southern city in Burgundy, one hour away from Dijon).

It is in Chalon-sur-saône that he really started to practice double-bass seriously and followed the lessons from Michel Martin-Charrières that introduced him to the New york modern jazz scene. They listened together to a lot of great jazz artists such as Gilad Hekselman, Reuben Rogers, Robert Hurst, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, George Garzone and of course Branford and Wynton Marsalis.But the list is non-exhaustive…

Sébastien continued to go back to Dijon to rehearse with Muphin and they released an EP in 2015. During his studies in Chalon between 2015 and 2019, he started to play with his trio Jazz by three (with Victor Prost on drums and Tom Juvigny on the electric guitar) in weddings, concerts and other events around Burgundy and the Great East of France. He also played and still play with All you need is swing, a swing band specialized in dance music from the 1930’s.

In April 2016, the band Muphin splitted an he started a collaboration with Filansen, a french singer from Burgundy with whom he recorded an album called « Issue de Secours » released in June 2017 and toured in the summer.

In 2017 after the tour, he decided to take a more jazz-orientated turn and stopped to be a sideman with Filansen. He created his quintet SH Group with who he toured in April 2019 in Burgundy and recorded his first EP (in June) that was released in March 2020.

2019 was also the year when Sébastien entered at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel after being graduated of a « Diplôme d’Etudes Musicales » in Chalon-sur-saône. He moved to live in Belgium and still study at this school. In his new land, he started to play with Thomas Sagne trio and other bands like Qelder but also a rockband called La Poudre. In 2020 and 2021 during the coronacrisis, Rob Swennen, a friend from conservatory, decided to create EVIGS where the low frequencies are assumed by Sébastien on the electric bass. EVIGS is an amplified jazz ensemble that is both influenced by hip-hop, jazz and rock.

Education

I obtained in 2019 a "Diplôme d'Etudes Musicales" in the conservatory from Chalon, in France (burgundy region). Since 2019, I'm studying in the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel to obtain a Master in Jazz music.

Experience / Qualifications

Several tours and concerts with my bands : SH Group, Délivrance, Evigs. I did Three albums already with a previous band Muphin and a singer called FILANSEN in France. I'm promoting my actual album called "SH Group" from the band that has the same name.

" UNIQUE "
What if telling your story with music could be fun and playful?

Don't waste hours going around in circles, constantly searching for videos on YouTube to learn in a simple and structured way.

To finally be able to express your feelings, your emotions, all through the guitar?

It's possible! And what we'll see through my lessons: you'll learn how to tune the instrument, practice its first chords, and quickly play your first songs.

Develop your ear and musical identity by exploring styles such as pop, rock, country, blues, jazz, bossa nova, funk just to name a few.

Discover and explore the richness of scales and modes to combine them with playing expressions like hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato, bends... Does that sound like Chinese to you? I understand. Through my lessons, all of this will no longer hold any secrets for you!

Whether you have no experience or a few weeks of practice under your belt, we will go step by step, taking into account your level, so that you progress at your own pace.

Lessons in piano, harpsichord, and historical and modern cello, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, coordination, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history.
In my teaching, I rely mostly on old traditional methods, books, and repertoire, which have proved their efficiency over the time. I also make use of the teaching tradition of partimenti of the old Neapolitan conservatories - exercises for composing that can be applied from early stage. This not only adds a creative element soon after very beginning, but also teaches via practice the basics of harmony and polyphony.
Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege (ear training), if the student wishes.
English, Nederlands, française, Deutsch.
I have been teaching for more than 15 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, more than 100 students.
I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello, organ, and piano.

This applied music theory course is for any passionate musician, regardless of level.

It aims to broaden his musical knowledge and abilities by understanding music as a whole. The goal is to be able to decode and understand how a music (not only of classical style, but also pop, jazz, rock, electro, ...) was composed, and to be able to use interesting harmonies oneself. and solid in a personal composition / production.

It is made up of two main topics:

* Harmony (building chords, understanding chord diagrams, learning to Harmonize a given melody, the possibility or not of using these Harmonies in a given style, etc.).
But also understand the key, how to build a scale, how to navigate between different keys, how to transform a classic chord suite into another style?
Harmony is a course open to all and all levels, no prerequisites to have. Any passionate musician will find interest in it, that's guaranteed.

* Writing is a much more targeted course, which is already an introduction to classical composition. In this branch, we will develop the rules of classical writing (parallel fifths and octaves, false relations etc, ...) within the framework of an exercise based on a given melody or bass (in the first case it will be necessary to invent harmonization and compose a bass, in the second, it will be necessary to invent the harmonization and the melody).

This course can also be used by academy or conservatory students who wish to prepare for the writing exam, or simply to deepen their knowledge.

My method is based on serious and rigorous practice (while taking into account the student's ambitions) as well as learning most often by ear. This is indeed how music can be truly integrated over the long term.
I would be delighted to work with serious and determined students.

Hi! I'm Lara, and I've been happily tutoring and supporting music theory, solfeggio and harmony for a number of years. Are you struggling with this and are you looking for help? Then you've come to the right place!
I am a conservatory student and would like to help others who have difficulty with music theory!
I am a clarinetist, so if guidance is needed for the clarinet, this is also possible!
Some knowledge is nice, but starting from 0 is no problem for me!

Have you ever listened to a piece of music and wanted to understand more about it?

I’m offering personalized music lessons, where YOU decide what to explore! Whether you're curious about harmony, rhythm, musical styles from around the world, or any other concept, I will tailor each lesson to your interests. And if there’s a topic I’m not familiar with yet, I’ll take the time to learn and prepare the lesson just for you.

Or, if you prefer, embark on a guided introduction to music, exploring essential concepts through carefully selected listening examples from across the globe.

Posture and comfort with the instrument are the foundation for playing the guitar. I often make the connection with other musical instruments such as percussion, wind instruments and singing.

Separating and understanding the roles of the two hands is another important step in the course. One hand plays the rhythm and the other plays the notes on the fretboard. There are many exercises to develop the knowledge and skills of both hands.

Guitar course open to all levels, from beginners to advanced students.

The course covers classical and electric guitar, as well as pop guitar and composition, offering comprehensive training tailored to the student's interests.

Initially, a level assessment will be conducted to identify technical skills, musical knowledge, and prior experience. Based on this assessment, and taking into account the student's goals, objectives, and musical tastes, a personalized methodology will be designed, focused on technical, musical, and creative development.

The course's approach seeks to balance technique, interpretation, musical understanding, and personal expression, allowing the student to progress in a solid and conscious manner, regardless of the style they wish to explore further.

I offer piano lessons in English, French or Italian for students of all ages and levels. Lessons focus on developing technique, musical understanding, listening skills, and artistic expression.

My teaching is grounded in the Faber Piano Adventures method and enriched with creative activities such as improvisation, four-hand duets, and simple composition exercises. Each lesson is adapted to your interests and pace, whether you are learning for personal enjoyment, creative exploration, or to support other musical practices.

For more advanced students, I also incorporate selected excerpts from Mikrokosmos by Béla Bartók, as well as pieces from the classical repertoire chosen in dialogue with the student.

As a conservatory-trained singer and composer with five years of teaching experience, I bring a dynamic, relational approach that connects instrumental technique with creativity and personal expression. Lessons take place in the student’s home in Ghent, Brussels, and nearby areas, and last 30, 45, or 60 minutes depending on age and level.
