Unlock your musical potential with engaging and personalized lessons tailored to your goals.

In my teaching approach, beginners will receive comprehensive instruction in music fundamentals, including music theory, reading notation, rhythm, key signatures, chord progressions, proper instrument posture, and playing simple melodies. As their skills progress, they will have the opportunity to explore more advanced concepts, such as modes, intricate timing and rhythm patterns, advanced chord structures, harmonization techniques, improvisation, and a diverse repertoire within their chosen genre and style. For instance, classical musicians will delve into the works of composers spanning the Renaissance to the Romantic era, while folk musicians will explore various European dance music styles and American genres like bluegrass, country, western swing, jazz, and blues, among others. The curriculum is tailored to meet the specific needs and aspirations of each student, allowing for continuous growth and musical development.

About Me

My music education journey began with Suzuki Violin training in a pilot program through the New England Conservatory of Music, which I pursued from 1966 to 1975. Building upon that foundation, I continued my studies at the Conservatory at Rivers, where I obtained a certificate in Violin Performance and Conducting in 1980. In addition to my violin training, I pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in Expressive Arts and Musicology from Hampshire College, specializing in musicology and exploring the intersection of music with other art forms. During my time at Hampshire, I also pursued my passion for photography through a minor in experimental photography. This unique blend of academic studies has enriched my understanding of music, its historical context, and its connection to other artistic disciplines. Over the years, I have further honed my musical expertise through certificates in violin, chamber music coaching, and performance from prestigious institutions such as the Conservatory at Rivers, the Center for Chamber Music at Apple Hill, Hampshire College, and additional studies in jazz, music theory, and ethnomusicology at various institutions.

Violin Lessons in Zurich: Mastery and Mindfulness!
Dear students, My name is Giacomo and I hold two Master of Arts in Music Performance, one in Rome and one from the "Zurcher Hochschule der Kunste" in Zurich. During my class lessons you'll learn the wonderful art of playing the violin, an incredible instrument! I have many years of experience with teaching, I do private lessons and I have worked as a teacher for "Tiziano Rossetti International Music Academy in Lugano" for several years. As a teacher my goal is to bring out the best version of my students, using their individual strenghts, which are different for each of them. It's a pleasure for me to teach to anybody who wants even just to discover the art of playing the violin. As a pedagogue, after one month experience in a meditation retreat in Thailand, my approach involves not only focusing on the technical development of the instrument but also paying close attention to the physical and mental well-being of my students. I incorporate meditation and yoga as key elements to ensure a pleasant and optimal experience with the instrument and with oneself.
