About the Instructor
Matt Bassano is the head instructor for the Jam Academy. We like to call him "the walking jukebox". Matt is a high-energy guy adept at taking charge in a group situation but with a an attitude that kids relate to.
Matt is the music director for
Ad Hoc Entertainment, the premier music entertainment agency in Colorado. He also leads The Spotlight Band, the agency's top-booked dance/variety band for weddings and corporate parties. This band is especially popular because they take any and every request.
Matt has also played with numerous bands in the Denver area including 11th Hour (classic rock), the Colorado Chainsaw Quartet (experimental rock) and Amanecer (salsa/Latin). His wide network allows him to bring in fantastic musicians from the area for special 'master' classes as a standard part of the
Jam Academy series... prepare to be wowed!
Matt's main instrument is keyboards but he also plays and teaches bass, drums, guitar, voice, winds and brass. This allows him to sit in with the bands and demonstrate technique.
