As a professional drummer, Tato brings a perspective that perfectly complements the tap.
I love Tato's Music for Tap Dancers classes! They've helped me better understand music and rhythmic concepts. As a professional drummer, Tato brings a perspective that perfectly complements tap as a percussive dance form. I recommend these classes to all tap lovers.

It exceeded all expectations
This time, Gustavo worked on a pop song, but he gave it a special touch and even sent a stereo track with a suggested panning effect once it was finished.
It exceeded all expectations.
Highly recommended.
Talented percussionist.

His teachings are loaded with examples that bring the theoretical to the practical in an intuitive and simple way.
Tato is an excellent teacher, after nine months receiving his classes, I can say that his teachings are loaded with examples that bring the theoretical to the practical in an intuitive and simple way, with a very entertaining and at the same time rigorous ability to maintain the class. at a pace that seems like time passes without you realizing it and you haven't stopped working and learning for the duration of the class.
Tato fills his classes with metaphors to make the difficult seem easy and adapts to the needs of each student with enviable versatility, perceives the atmosphere of the group and knows how to position himself to get the most out of it, adapting the dynamics "in situ" to the situation. energy of every day. Challenging and entertaining classes, full of challenges that are achievable at the moment, some and many others to take under your professional belt and work on them whenever you want.
He generously shares his learning processes and reflections to bring them closer to one and not feel that teacher/student barrier as something unattainable but rather that perseverance and work will lead you to achieve your goals in music. Also having the ability to allow opinions to be heard and give a voice to the student since many times the different perspectives have enriched their classes thanks to having created these spaces for dialogue, without forgetting the future of the session.
In other words, Tato is a “One of a kind” teacher that you will hardly forget because he transmits a very contagious passion for what he teaches.
Thanks Tato

Gustavo never ceases to amaze me
Gustavo never ceases to amaze me; the rhythmic percussion he creates is fantastic!

HE PERFECTLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WANTED AND TOOK IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Gustavo did a spectacular job with the drums for my project. He has a lot of dedication, great musical taste, and, above all, a lot of patience. He perfectly understood what I wanted and took it to the next level. Highly recommended!

For me it's a complete 10: as a musician, as a teacher and as a person.
I'm learning conga music with Tato Sassone and I've also played djembe with him, and my conclusion is that he's a spectacular musician. He has an impressive technique, and I've seen him play absolutely everything that can make a sound 😉: from the drums to the congas, the cajón, and the djembe, and he always amazes me. As a teacher, he's excellent; he's incredibly patient, has a very clear method, and teaches in a friendly way that makes every class a joy. For me, he's a complete 10: as a musician, as a teacher, and as a person. I'm grateful that this genius is in Barcelona and that I can learn from him.

Great professional in the field, not only teaching but also artistic.
Great professional in the field, not only teaching but also artistic. I commissioned him a musical composition somewhat urgently for a dance project and he put all his percussive, technical and cultural knowledge in favor of this assignment. And he did it with the speed, commitment and rigor that characterize great professionals.

"When you've tried the rest, come try the best."
Gustavo is great, highly recommended. It´s like that pizza box says "once you´ve tried the rest, now come try the best" Take my word on it, you can thank me later

That a musician like "Tato" dedicates his time to teaching is lucky!!
"Tato" is an excellent musician. As a drummer and percussionist, a reference professional and as a teacher, a very good teacher!!
In percussion classes you learn ethnic rhythms, percussion techniques and participate in ensembles that allow you to evolve very quickly so you can enjoy learning.
For all of us who want to learn percussion as amateurs, that a musician like "Tato" dedicates his time to teaching is lucky!!
Quim A.
In classes, Tato adapts to each person's level
In the tato classes it adapts to each person's level and gives you confidence and elements so that you can progressively improve your technique and creativity when playing.
Professional, close and cheerful; It is a pleasure to learn percussion and play with him and the other classmates a few hours a week.
Keep going like this!

He is a genius, very didactic and is really immersed in the subject of musicality.
He is a genius, very didactic and is really immersed in the subject of musicality. I have learned a lot in your classes! I take classes with him at a Tap school but I think I could also take classes with him at any Latin or Afro or swing dance school, that is, where music is used to dance. Thanks Tato!!!

It really raised the quality of the songs to a new level
I am very happy that I decided to hire Tato to record drums and other percussion instruments for my album Half Lives. He was very reliable, punctual and full of ideas, and really raised the quality of the songs to a new level. I would not hesitate to hire him again since he is a true professional and also a very good person.

Tato educates you in a way that is easier to understand and follow
I always look forward to taking music classes with Tato. At first, it was something I felt intimidated by because, well, it's a completely different language. However, over time, it became easier as Tato educates you in a way that is easier to understand and follow. I still have a lot to learn and I know I'm in good hands!
For someone who doesn't have any musical training, with the way Tato designs his classes, I still feel like there's a lot I can understand too.
Thank you, Tato, for guiding us to understand a world of tap and rhythm through the eyes and touch of a percussionist. As an educator, I find Tato quite interesting, easy to talk to, dedicated, helpful, and available to answer anything you may be struggling with when it comes to music theory.
Tanvi S.
He managed to give me a lot of new materials to work with and make each class interesting.
Tato is a great teacher, an incredible musician and a fantastic person. I had the opportunity to take music classes for dancers with him and I highly recommend him. As a singing teacher, I was worried about going back to studying music theory and music theory, which I already studied at the Conservatory, but he managed to give me a lot of new materials to work with and make each class interesting. His relaxed attitude, always with a friendly smile on his face, and his ability to encourage you to explore things you may not feel comfortable with are remarkable.
There are so many things I would love to write, but I can sum them all up in one sentence: take a class with him, then you will be a new dancer/musician/performer!
Roberto R.
Inspiring, friendly and committed teacher.
Tato is an inspiring, understanding and committed teacher. His musical knowledge is extensive and diverse. He is very capable, even when there are different levels in a group class, of offering each student something that suits their level. The classes are varied, there is plenty of room for interaction and you will learn to develop and use your own creativity and musicality. This gives you the opportunity to develop your own style. Drum classes include working on technical skills, rhythm, feeling, and playing the drums along with your favorite music. Percussion classes teach you existing rhythms and how to improvise in a solo, as well as creating rhythms together using different percussion instruments.
Music for tap dancers offers a good combination of theory and practice. You will obtain tools that you can immediately apply in your dance.
Energetic and fun classes, I highly recommend it!
Mabel
Wonderful! Highly recommended.
5 amazing stars! Excellent mix of drums and percussion. Everyone joins in the party: drums, maracas, tambourine. Wonderful! Highly recommended.
Junior M
At the teaching and information transfer level, it is the best I have received in years.
The amount of musical concepts that you acquire in his classes, ideas that you develop with his help and theories that you apply is simply brutal. In terms of teaching and information transfer, it is the best I have received in years.

Shiriel K
His classes are very enriching and inspiring
Gustavo Sassone views tap dancers as musicians. Therefore, his musical instruction for tap dancers is very well-founded. Thanks to this, I have acquired a much better musical understanding and can create my own choreographies and improvise with jazz bands much more easily. His classes are very enriching and inspiring.

GUSTAVO, IN ADDITION TO BEING AN EXCEPTIONAL PERCUSSIONIST, IS A PEDAGOGICAL, PATIENT, PRECISE AND KIND TEACHER
Gustavo, besides being an exceptional percussionist, is a pedagogical, patient, precise, and kind teacher, with a great sense of humor that makes his classes especially enjoyable and accessible. If you're a tap dancer, with him, music will hold no more secrets for you! Come on!

¡A great experience!
The rhythm track for my ballad was sparse and lacked any groove, but Gustavo played several excellent percussion tracks that fit perfectly and gave my song a new dimension. A great experience!

To any artist who asks me for a drummer for any style, I always recommend Tato.
Gustavo "Tato" Sassone has recorded more than half a dozen albums for Slow Walk Music and at my studio, Slow Sound Studio. Tato is not only incredibly talented and has excellent taste in his playing, but he also always comes prepared, with his own ideas but willing to record whatever the artist requests, which is ideal not only for a studio musician but also for live performances. To any artist who asks me for a drummer for any style, I always recommend Tato.
Aaron F
What attention to detail! Wow!
Phenomenal musician!
An exceptional dedication to his art, whether with the drums, percussion, or a combination of both, and this time he even incorporated wind effects. Not wind chimes, but wind effects, for a part of the lyrics that mentions the wind. What attention to detail! Wow!
Five stars in each hand.
Highly recommended!

Thank you Tato for your generosity, your patience and your way of teaching that is always full of affection. You don't know how much you have helped me enjoy tap more and more. There is still a way to go but thanks to your classes I have the necessary tools to continue moving forward. See you soon.

I have attended numerous percussion classes and your method is by far the best I have experienced.
The weekend starts early with Tato class on Friday mornings, always one of the highlights of my week.
Tato is not only a talented musician, but also an excellent teacher. I have attended numerous percussion classes and your method is by far the best I have experienced.
His classes are always fun and varied, he has many great techniques to help you learn and remember new skills. As you progress, he continues to push you to improve and challenge yourself, but without allowing things to become too difficult or stressful.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning percussion.

I had the pleasure of attending Tato's classes and found them fascinating!
I had the pleasure of attending Tato's “Music for (Tap) Dancers” classes at Luthier, and found them fascinating!
It provided a new way of looking at tap dancing, not only as a "dance" but also as a potential musician.
The instructions were always clear and Tato was always patient and encouraging when we were struggling with something.
It was evident that Tato has a lot of experience working with dancers and knows exactly what it takes to take your dancing to the next level.
