My music skills

Skills

I have mastered the art of reading sheet music, enabling me to interpret complex compositions. Simultaneously, I've honed my ability to play songs by ear, capturing the essence of music without written scores.

My collaborative spirit shines in band settings, where I contribute to musical arrangements, enhancing our collective sound with my expertise and creativity.

My educational journey in music is diverse: from formal courses to self-directed learning, I've embraced the richness of both structured education and the freedom of exploration. This is complemented by my attendance at numerous workshops, where I've expanded my skills and absorbed new ideas.

A voracious listener, I immerse myself in a wide array of musical styles. This eclectic taste has profoundly influenced my musical perspective, enriching my creativity and versatility as an artist.

Did you know?

Music theory doesn't just encompass the nature and mechanics of music; when it comes to the electric bass, it reveals the secrets behind the bass lines that underpin so many musical genres. Studying the electric bass involves more than just learning to play notes; it's about understanding how rhythm, harmony, and melody interact to create a solid foundation in any composition. By exploring composers' techniques through the electric bass, we dive into the language and notation of music in a unique way, analyzing the parameters or elements of music – from the pulsating rhythm to the rich texture that the bass adds to harmony and structure. Applied music theory on the electric bass allows us not only to perform but to deeply understand the essence of the music we create and interpret.
