About Matyas
Matyas Hofecker is recognized as one of the leading musicians among the younger generation of jazz bassists in Europe. Hofecker has 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 or Grant Stewart. He can often be heard at UK’s premier jazz venues such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, 606 Jazz Club and the Peggy’s Skylight.
Currently, he is a teacher at the World Heart Beat Music Academy and Wandsworth Music Academy.
His aim is to accompany his students along an exciting but sometimes a bit crooked way to reach their goals. He has successfully prepared students for an audition at university and for grade exams (ABRSM/Trinity).
Hofecker always tries to personalize his lessons and focus on the aims of my students – using different methods (e.g., Kodaly), different books (Simandl, The Evolving Bassist Rufus Reid, Bass Method, Building Basslines by Ron Carter...). His main field is Jazz however, he is able to teach various genres like pop, rock, latin, classical and funk. In his teaching method the music theory, scales, rhythm, harmony, improvisation, a defined technique on the instrument and several practicing methods are all very important in order to improve. He is able to teach Double Bass, Bass Guitar, and Music Theory.
All in all, Hofecker is a trustworthy and precise person. He is supportive and never gives up on his student. Impossible is nothing for him. He is keen on give the love of the music to his students.
