Meet the team

Since 2009, Johnny has been immersed in the music scene, initially as a performer across German cities and festivals.

Transitioning to Amsterdam in 2019, he now also dedicates his time to teaching music, sharing his passion and expertise with students.
 

He completed a  B.A. in Jazz Guitar from the Conservatory of Amsterdam, and he has toured and performed internationally, gracing stages in Morocco, Turkey, France, Lithuania, Latvia, and renowned Dutch venues such as Paradiso (Super Sonic Jazz Festival), Melkweg, Het Concertgebouw, Tivoli Vredenburg, and BIRD.

His mode of teaching is highly individual, basing his lessons and tailoring the curriculum towards the musical interests of students.

Joel's musical journey began at the age of 8 in Stockholm before his path led him to Malmö and Copenhagen. In 2020, he settled in Amsterdam to pursue studies at the Conservatory. Since then, Joel has made his mark on the european music scene, performing with acclaimed bands like Radiohop and Parhasard, and lending his talents as a session musician at prestigious studios including Wisseloord, GAM, and Atlantis Studio.

​

In his teaching approach, Joel places a strong emphasis on nurturing the musical passion of his students. He not only imparts technical skills but also instills a deep appreciation for music, teaching students to listen, feel different genres and grooves, and embody the sound and mindset of a bass player.

Gabriele started out in Milan, playing with various bands before making his way to Berlin in 2016. There, he pursued a Honours Bachelor's degree in Audio Production, while serving as a backline tech for the acclaimed electronic duo Booka Shade, working at renowned festivals such as Tomorrowland, Boomtown, Printworks, Razzmatazz, and more.

In 2019, he headed to Amsterdam, where he's now the key player for LNDE and a session pianist for various projects.

​

When he's not tickling the ivories on stage, Gabriele's all about sharing his passion. His teaching style strikes a balance between mastering the fundamentals and fun, creative exploration of the keyboard. He's all about finding the perfect exercises to help students play the tunes they love.

​

And if that's not enough, he's also your go-to guy for music production wisdom. From mixing the low end to mastering, Gabriele's got you covered, making sure your tracks sound as tight as can be.
