Matteo Fasolato

The Beginning

I started studying music with a private teacher, developing the foundations of classical piano and continuing my training at a music school in my city.

Certifications and Ragtime

I obtained my pre-academic certification in classical piano and certification in music theory and solfège. During the same period, I discovered Ragtime, a niche genre that deeply fascinated me.

After years of in-depth study, I became an expert in the genre, studying the musical language of great masters like Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, James P. Johnson, Eubie Blake, and other pioneers of African American music.

Blues, Jazz, and Conservatory

From my interest in Ragtime, I naturally transitioned to Blues and subsequently to Jazz. I enrolled at the Pollini Conservatory in Padova, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Jazz Piano in 2021, at the age of 22.

Digital Music Production

During my academic period, I became passionate about the world of digital and electronic music, deepening my knowledge of sound fundamentals and the use of major DAWs and plugins.

I started with FL Studio 12, experimenting with Trap/Rap beats, House, Lo-Fi, and orchestral compositions. In 2020, I completed a 60-hour course on Ableton Live 10, focused on music production, mixing, and sound theory.

I've been producing music for over five years and currently use Ableton Live and Studio One as my main DAWs, concentrating on piano teaching, composition of orchestral soundtracks for short films, and orchestral tutorials on my YouTube channel.
