Mateus Gadaleta

I’m a young professional saxophonist, producer, and educator with years of experience performing and creating across jazz, R&B, and modern music production. My approach blends deep musicianship with the creative mindset of today’s industry — helping students build both technical mastery and unique musical voice.

I’ve studied and performed with some of Colorado’s most respected musicians at the University of Northern Colorado! While collaborating in the production world with artists such as  Lil Tecca, Don Toliver, ThxSoMuch, and members of the Internet Money Records team, I've got to work with many different genres of music.. I’m also the younger brother of artist and producer LMG, and I’ve grown up immersed in the professional studio environment from a young age.

As a teacher, I focus on building real skills that apply to the stage, studio, and industry — from tone development, improvisation, and articulation to recording techniques, beat creation, and producing your own music. Every lesson is personalized to the student’s goals, whether you’re learning your first jazz standard, improving your sax sound, or producing your first professional track.

My goal is to help every student sound confident, creative, and fully in control of their craft — the same way real working musicians approach music today.

My lessons are designed to help students develop real-world musical skills — whether that’s performing, improvising, or producing.

For saxophone, I focus on tone, articulation, time feel, and improvisation through the language of jazz, R&B, neo-soul, hip-hop, and Latin styles. We’ll work on everything from mastering scales and chord changes to phrasing like the greats and developing your own sound. I tailor each session to the student’s goals — from learning jazz standards and soloing confidently to refining technique for recording and live performance.

For music production, I teach how to build full tracks from scratch — programming drums, creating melodies and chords, arranging, and mixing so your music sounds professional. We’ll explore beat making, recording your own instruments or vocals, and blending live performance with production.

Every lesson combines musical creativity with practical studio knowledge, so students learn not just how to play — but how to create, record, and release their own music.
