I am a qualified professional pianist with many years of experience in teaching and live performance. I studied Classical Music and I graduated in Piano at the Conservatory of Perugia, Italy (10 year course, Vote: 9.75/10). I also studied jazz and over the years I have played in jazz big bands, jazz ensembles such as trios, quartets and quintets. I also play the keyboards in many bands playing different styles and genres: funk, soul, blues and pop. This variety of knowledge makes me a very versatile teacher who can easily adapt to the students’ preferences and interests. In the teaching field I have many years of experience with both children and adults. Up until now, I have taught in three different schools, giving one to one and group lessons, coordinating bands, running workshops and organising end of term concerts, which bring together learners of different ages, who play different instruments, at different levels. In the piano course, students start to play at the first lesson with both hands, reading music and beginning to understand music theory. During the course we approach different music styles with a lot of space for chords, jazz improvisation and playing modern songs. I pride myself of really motivating my learners by showing them concrete results from day one. From the first lesson my student will be able to play a melody and with my accompaniment they will get the feeling of having played a complete piece of music. This excitement will be their drive in the learning process and the necessary push to play solo on stage and in bands.
