I am a saxophonist, music teacher, arranger, and conductor. I obtained both the Diploma and the Master’s Degree in Saxophone and in Chamber Music, graduating with top marks. I perform regularly as a concert artist and teacher in Italy and abroad. My teaching method draws on the most modern methodologies, as well as on psychology and music pedagogy, always taking into account the needs and characteristics of each student. At the same time, I place strong emphasis on the theoretical foundations of music, listening, repertoire, and personal interpretation. For all levels.
