Guitarist, singer, songwriter, composer with 20 years of experience.

I started to study guitar in 2002. After 6 months I started playing live music.
I began to teach guitar in 2018, in London.

I am specialized in beginners and children.
You can choose online lessons (Skype, Zoom, FaceTime), or lessons at your home, in London. I can teach in Italian and in English.

In the lessons the main lines of study are:
- technique exercises to make your hands stronger;
- songs suggested by me and songs that you like;
- music theory.

I try to communicate my passion for music, especially to the children, without forgetting to have fun.

Either, if you want to become a really good guitarist or if you just want to play guitar for fun and relaxation, don’t hesitate to contact me.
I thrive on seeing my students grow and develop as they discover what they can achieve.

Together, we will learn the basics of playing the guitar and the basics of music in a modern, fun and comfortable way, remotely (online) or at home (only in England).

And this will be done by dealing with the famous songs, whether they are in the blues, reggae or pop, and analyzing them and extracting the skills, techniques and musical theories based on them.

The songs are chosen according to the student's desire and are suitable for his level.

I am very open to any area of music subject, theory or technical abilities wishing to be covered or improved upon.
Any level of ability can be suited for, from beginner riffs to the more intermediate/advanced level player wanting to tweak, polish and improve their playing or a particular area.
I am a laid back tutor, patient, with my main goal being help others achieve more musical independence by teaching them the fundamentals that you probably already know!

Experience the joy of guitar like never before! With my exceptional skills and extensive knowledge, I'll guide you on a musical adventure that will fill your heart with pure joy. Unleash your true potential and discover the beauty of playing guitar. Let's embark on this incredible journey together!

Hello! I offer professional guitar lessons for electric, acoustic, classical, and ukulele in a friendly, stress-free atmosphere for both beginners and advanced players. I've been teaching for about six years and have been involved with the instrument for over twelve years.

I'm a finalist in global competitions and a winner in national contests, both as a solo artist and in groups.

Whether you're taking your first steps or need help with technique and theory, you've come to the right place! I approach the instrument comprehensively. We can work on specific styles: technical prog metal playing, rock, jazz standards, blues, classical, fingerstyle. I also have significant knowledge of recording and guitar processing in DAW software and can assist in that area as well.

Online lessons via Skype, Zoom, Google Meets

During lessons, we mainly focus on:

Developing proper playing technique,
Playing songs you enjoy,
Improvisation,
Mastering music theory,
Navigating the fretboard smoothly,
Having a great time
After each lesson, I provide educational materials.

I offer fantastically priced bespoke professional acoustic, electric and classical guitar lessons for players of any ability. Many of my students take graded exams in either contemporary or classical guitar and students who I prepare for exams regularly achieve distinctions. However if the student does not wish to take graded exams I can simply help them learn their favourite songs as well as teaching key techniques to progress in their preferred genres and styles.

I have a DBS certificate and have experience working with students of all ages.
