I’m Matyas Hofecker, a professional bass player and music educator based in London. I developed a passion for music at a very young age, playing the trumpet when I was four years old. In elementary school, I became familiar with jazz and the bass guitar, then I switched to the double bass during my teenage years and started playing music professionally. I studied at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest and received my Master’s Degree with honors from the Music and Arts University of Vienna. Over the past few years, I have become a permanent member of the European and UK music scene, and I have appeared at various venues and famous stages such as Ronnie Scott’s and PizzaExpress Jazz Club. I'm mainly influenced by Paul Chambers, Sam Jones, George Duvivier, and Peter Washington. I have toured with the legendary Harold Mabern Trio, recorded an album with Sheila Jordan, and shared the stage with renowned jazz artists like Joe Farnsworth, Jesse Davis, Pete Van Nostrand, Jim Rotondi, and Grant Stewart with a passion for straight-ahead jazz. I perform regularly around Europe, including Spain, France, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Portugal.

Tutoring Experience:
Since 2010, I have been teaching privately and giving individual lessons from beginners to advanced level, with students of all ages ranging from 6 to 80. During my academic studies, I studied pedagogy and led group and individual lessons. I also taught workshops as part of my course and in 2018, I was one of the teachers of the Carinthian Jazz Workshop and International Saxophone Competition where I taught jazz history, music theory, ear training, and ensemble.

Currently, I'm the double bass teacher at the World Heart Beat Music Academy and Wandsworth Music Academy in London. Leggi di meno

For me, the most important thing is to help my students reach their goals and support them in any kind of situation. I'm happy to start with a beginner on their musical journey, prepare an advanced player for a music university audition or entrance exam, or assist a casual player who just wants to learn music and have fun. I always try to personalize my lessons and focus on the aims of my students. My main field is Jazz; however, I'm able to teach other genres like pop, Latin, classical, and funk as well. In my teaching, I strive to create a positive and engaging learning environment. Leggi di meno
