Aspiring or lifelong music lover
Have you always dreamed of grooving with an electric bass, creating your own basslines and rocking the notes that drive your favorite music? Do not look any further ! You've come to the right place to start or improve your bass guitar skills.
My name is Yoann "MAY", and I am a music enthusiast with over 20 years of experience as a professional bass player and pedagogue. I had the chance to play with various bands and artists, and I am delighted to share my knowledge and my passion with you.
Why choose my bass guitar lessons?
Personalized approach: Each student is unique, which is why my lessons are adapted to your objectives, your level and your musical preferences. Whether you are a beginner or want to improve your game, I am committed to guiding you in an efficient and caring manner.
Solid Foundations: Whether you want to learn the basics of bass guitar or aim to master advanced techniques such as slap, tapping, thumb pluck or improvisation, I'm here to teach you the essential foundations that will lead to create your unique game.

Varied repertoire: Learning the bass guitar doesn't just mean playing repetitive exercises. We'll work on tracks and styles you're passionate about, whether it's rock, funk, jazz, blues, death metal or other genres.
Auditory Enrichment: I will help you develop your musical ear, recognize rhythms and improvise in harmony with other instruments.

Experience / Qualifications
My life has been rocked by notes, grooves and musical experiences for two decades. As a composer and musician, I had the chance to explore various horizons through projects such as Alchemists, Path of Desolation, The Black Academy and so many others that I cannot name all of them.
Alchemists: As a founding member of Alchemists, a Swiss band, I fused elements of progressive metal with atmospheric textures. The compositions are like alchemical experiments, transforming emotions into captivating harmonies.
Path of Desolation: This project allowed me to dive into the depths of extreme metal, creating dark and powerful soundscapes. As a composer, I have carved a path through the darkness to express a complex emotional palette.
The Black Academy: Here I explored the recesses of rock and groove, creating compositions that fuse harmonic innovation with the expressiveness of modern rock. Each note is a lesson in the art of musical creativity.
But my passion does not stop there. I have also explored other horizons, from rap to experimental music, shaping unique soundscapes that defy convention.
Each project is a sound world in its own right, an open window on my musical journey. I look forward to continuing to share these journeys with you and explore the endless corners of music together.
