Alejandro Masafret

Hi!

Glad to see you around here!

I am Alejandro Masafret. I have been dedicating myself to music for over 20 years now, as a musician and as a teacher.

I started on this bass thing in the late summer of 1997,  like many people, by chance. From that moment I knew that it was what I wanted to dedicate myself to and there has not been a single day that I have believed that it is not the best decision I have made in my life.

From the beginning I have been a self-taught musician, which has involved a lot of time, a lot of searching and a lot of work.

In 2002 I felt that I was ready to start sharing what I had learned with other people, and since then I have combined live music and recording with teaching.

It's almost 20 years as a teacher, and I think I have learned as much about this (and this) as playing. I love teaching, that's the truth. And seeing the evolution of the people I teach is one of the things that most fulfills me in my musical adventure.

From my way of understanding teaching, the first step is to achieve in the shortest possible time to understand each person's way of learning ( mathematical, logical, creative, analytical, intuitive ...) to get as far as possible in the shortest possible time. and make it an exciting and fun process.

For me it is a challenge to adapt to the interests and language of each student, to be moving forward together from the first moment.

I teach all the techniques of the instrument that I know (standard fingering, slap, double thump, tapping, palmmuted, left hand mute ...)

If you want to know what a class is like with me, I consider that my style is close and adapted to each person, with audiovisual aids. I think the best class is the one in which there is trust, a relaxed atmosphere, and honesty.

Starting classes with me does not require any kind of prior knowledge. I have experience teaching people of all ages and levels, and of different interests. From people who are still managing the purchase of their first instrument, to people interested in preparing a degree,  people interested in starting a professional career or people who play simply for personal satisfaction or to prepare their own bands' repertoires. I have taught professionals with more than 30 years of careers, people who have had a work accident and have to redo their technique, people with special needs ... By this I mean that any time and any circumstance is a good place to start. .
