Music Theory and Ear Training Classes - Teoria e solfeggio
Hello!
Being a singer and a singing teacher, many many times I have found myself in the situation of having to work on ear training, or solfège, or music theory... or all the above listed!
Approaching music and having no clue of these elements can totally be intimidating and off-putting, but in 2023 I feel like it’s a pity that these subjects still are looked at with such a fear. I want to prove to you that building this basic knowledge can be easy, accessible, and not heavy at all!
My program is not fixed: I’ll build it on your specific needs, whether they are preparing an exam, curiosity, or getting better at pitch matching... we will discuss it together. I have many books and materials, and I honestly prefer to draw blackboards by myself a lot of times. Unless you want to, I won’t ask you to buy any material, so the only cost that you will have to sustain is for the time of the class.

About Me
I teach voice both to adults and to children basing my method on my classical training and practical experience as a child, singing in opera houses. But I would like to point out that as far as teaching to children goes, I don’t like to push them over the natural limit of the human voice. I like to always be sure that the path I’m guiding my pupils on is first of all a healthy one!So what you can expect from my classes is a solid ground on how the body works, how to breathe correctly, and a good amount of vocalises and exercises. On top of that of course, we end up singing something! Fun isn’t forgotten ;)
Education
Born in Milan in 1994, she graduated magna cum laude at the “Giuseppe Verdi” Conservatoire in Milan, pursuing both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees under the guidance of Silvana Manga. She took part in several masterclasses with Maestri Bonfadelli, Cuberli, D’Intino, Lanzillotta, Ligorio, Lowe, Luisi, Mameli, Mianiti, Pittaluga, Prina, Santoro, Sicca and Taddia.Experience / Qualifications
From 2003 to 2013 she has been a member of the children choir of La Scala Theater, under Bruno Casoni and Alfonso Caiani’s direction, taking part in every opera in which the children were required, and performing in a number of concerts with Filarmonica Orchestra of La Scala Theater, “Orchestra dei Pomeriggi Musicali”, RAI National Symphony Orchestra, and Symphony Orchestra of Milan “Giuseppe Verdi”. In 2005 she got her first solo role at La Scala in Tannhäuser under the baton of Jeffrey Tate. In the following years, she performed as a soloist in several operas, such as Macbeth (2008), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2009), Tannhäuser (2010), Die Zauberflöte (2011), Tosca (2011 and 2012) and Peter Grimes (2012), working with Kazushi Ono, Sir Andrew Davis, Zubin Mehta, Roland Böer, Omer Meir Wellber, Nicola Luisotti and Robin Ticciati. Meanwhile, she had the opportunity to sing as a soloist in several concerts with Filarmonica Orchestra of La Scala under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel, Roberto Abbado, and Pinchas Steinberg, to name a few. Those years marked her professional debut with other Italian companies as well, such as Bologna’s Opera House and MITO Festival.In 2015 she made her debut in the role of Lola in Cavalleria Rusticana at Teatro Filodrammatici (Milan) working with the emergent director Gianmaria Aliverta, leading to a successful strike of experiences: just the following year she sang Mrs Baggott in The Little Sweep by Benjamin Britten for the Accademia Teatro alla Scala, and made her debut as Cherubino for the OperaStudio project of the Conservatoire of Milan. Being part of the Accademia del Belcanto “Rodolfo Celletti” in Martina Franca for two years (2015 and 2016), she worked in the 41st and 42nd Edition of the Festival della Valle d’Itria, where she performed in the Il barbiere di Siviglia as Rosina, in Paisiello’s La grotta di Trofonio, and in Baccanali by Agostino Steffani, which, as a first rendition in modern times, was also live recorded by Dynamic. For the most part of 2017 she was undertaken to a tour through Italy produced by AsLiCo singing Rosina once again. Moreover, she was Venere in Il ballo delle Ingrate, played at the Conservatoire “Verdi” in Milan for the “450Monteverdi” project. 2018 has been an incredible year, singing in many productions: Flora in La traviata directed by Roberto Catalano, Modestina in Il Viaggio a Reims with Michele Spotti and Carmen -title role- in AsLiCo’s productions; she has also tackled the roles of Angelina (La Cenerentola) and la Ciesca (Gianni Schicchi) both under Gianmaria Aliverta’s direction.
Moreover she took part in the first edition of the Antigua Opera Society, the first operatic festival set to take place in Antigua and Barbuda in order to promote music and culture as powerful educational instruments for the children of the country. The show was very successful, leading to a 2019 comeback.
Albeit Carmen being a permanently recurring role in the years, even in the shape of the hugely acclaimed La tragédie de Carmen under Aliverta’s direction, she hasn’t neglected baroque music, singing in “Monteverdi Festival 2019” at Teatro Ponchielli, Cremona. After being on tour with Suor Angelica (La Suora Zelatrice) through the theatres of Livorno, Novara and Rovigo, in 2021 she sang into an operatic movie production with Teatro Massimo di Palermo to be live broadcasted. During the pandemics she has attended the YAP Program at Teatro Comunale di Bologna, where she has been involved in many concerts throughout the last years.
Summer 2022 has marked the beginning of an exciting new course of career, verging around contemporary music and arts, under the guidance of Alda Caiello. She has significantly expanded her repertoire ever since, which now comprises both ensamble works (Jakob Lenz in Torre del Lago), solo roles (the three female lead roles of Lamberto! by Alberto Cara have been written specifically for her) and music chamber, from the neoclassical Canti popolari by Berio, sung in Montepulciano, to the avant-gardes of Stockhausen - Tierkreis and Dallapiccola - Goethe Lieder, not missing the cabaret
of Walton’s Façade. After having sung the role of Rahab in Paolo Marzocchi’s touching Stabant Matres, a sacred opera-oratorio, she is now working at the creation of the world première of Matteo Franceschini’s new opera: Dorian Gray, libretto by Stefano Simone Pintor, which will première March 2024 with the Haydn Foundation.

Very good
Elena is wonderful teacher
Amazing teacher. My daughter loved her class.
First lesson and my daughter is already looking for the next one. Thank you, Elena.
Great teacher! She knows what she is doing and makes me feel comfortable actually working on my voice. Really looking forward learning more from her.

Hello,
I’m Elena, I’m Italian and I’m an opera singer :)
I’ve been training children and teens for 10 years, especially helping them with auditions and tests. I’ve been singing in theaters almost all my life since I started when I was just 8; nowadays I work as a professional mezzo-soprano all around the world both in educational projects for kids and children and in big productions.
I like teaching because I can share my experience with somebody that needs it and I always get to learn something from my pupils too: I swear teaching makes me a better singer.
I give lessons for any kind of purpose:
- learning music
- improving musicality
- preparing an audition
- finding our own voice
- overcoming insecurity
Everybody is different, so everybody has their own path to go through; I cater my lessons to the pupil’s needs, and even if the method is always classical, I make sure that the hour of lesson is a fun moment as well as a learning experience.
Music is life and life is fun!
If what you have read interests you, I’m here to answer all your questions, so don’t be afraid: write me and I’ll see how I can help you!
During the trial lesson, we will take the time to get to know each other better, assess levels and goals, and start to work on them already.
I can’t wait to meet you!

"Not because everyone is an artist, but because nobody will be a slave"
Music is freedom and how and why you learn an instrument is something extremely subjective. Everyone searches and finds something different but in the end, they all share the same emotion: the joy of playing.
Both for children and adults there are many positive aspects associated with learning music: from experimenting that with a little guided exercise you get good results and satisfaction, to the realization that you can put something of yourself and your own world in music.
The meetings with me, in English or Italian, in Munich or in Milan or on-line, are structured on the basis of the requests of each student but always within a coherent path that really allows the achievement of concrete results.
I studied - and I'm keeping studying - guitar and Greek bouzouki with different masters (Giovanni Monteforte, Carmelo Tartamella, Dimitris Kotsiouros, Walter Donatiello), as a boy I briefly attended the CPM (Music Profession Center) and now I'm studying jazz guitar at the Music School Claudio Abbado in Milan, combining formal education with a self-taught nature. I have solid foundations and I know how to adapt the contents according to the different needs of each student.

The Magic of Piano Playing - Piano Lessons: Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Singer Song WriterAs a pianist who has been performing/recording different styles of music for many years, I have developed a wholistic view of the instrument and its role in music. The goal of this course is that my students will build a strong pianistic foundation while playing the styles of music that inspire them the most.
The structure of the lessons will be generally divided to two main parts:
- Fundamentals of piano playing (including various techniques and methods that enhance strong piano skills and habits).
- Working on the music that is most inspiring for my students (including studying written pieces, learning music by ear, composing, improvising, and many other tools).
There’s a lot to be said about how a musician can make a musical instrument ‘speak’ and one of the goals of this course is to help my students find their own unique and authentic way of playing the music they love on the piano.

Piano lessons in Milano - piano, improvisation, composing, music theoryI was born in the Czech Republic, where I also studied at the Conservatory of Prague. My main field is composition and that is why my teaching method is different from the other teachers who studied piano.
In 2016, I founded a school called the Lastwin School of Liberal Arts. Under this shield, I taught with my wife in our apartment. We were intrigued by how many parents enrolled their children for lessons. Even the parents themselves wanted to try the lessons. The method I use liked the headmistress of the Montessori school called Edison, where I taught piano and music lessons.
I was wondering why, they do not use services like state music schools, which are significantly cheaper. The answer was very simple. Such institutions have clear textbooks, clear curricula, and everyone must follow this.
But I am very sure, that this is not Art.
I am for Liberal Art. And I want to be one of the other teachers who understand individuality and try to subordinate as much as possible to the student.
For my inspiration, I take a tree that becomes a tool for every case when something is unclear to students.
Milano has become my new home and I would like to enable this piano lesson here through the new

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any levelI teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.
The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.
I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Piano lessons for all levels and ages. Relaxed teaching approach!I have over 12 years of teaching experience and I have been working as a Professional Pianist for 7 years now, in 8 different countries (Switzerland, Austria, Iceland, Spain etc.) and on Luxury Cruise Ships (Worldwide).
I can show you how to have fun with the piano. If you're a beginner, I can take you right from step one and have you playing familiar songs by the 1st or 2nd lesson. If you already have some experience, I can add to it.
My main goal is helping you achieving your goals and preparing the best lesson for you!
I've been playing and studying piano since age 6 (over 25 years ago). I began with classical music, and later added Ragtime, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, and Chord theory.
I earned a Bachelor Degree in Piano Performance, Classical Music (4 years). I have participated in numerous Piano Masterclasses in Europe and I studied with great pianists. I still learn from different Highly Accomplished Musicians, I believe learning never stops.
I have much to share with my students.
TEACHING STYLE
I am a very patient teacher. I love teaching all ages. I don't teach everyone the same way. I tailor lessons according to individual goals and needs. I insist on the importance of technique and musicality.
I also guide all my students even outside of the teaching time, by responding to all their questions (music theory or technical) and sending them videos.
I teach how to prevent Piano Injuries by focusing on proper technique, posture, and practice habits.
My professional experience includes coaching students of all levels and ages. I successfully prepared the students with their Piano Exams like ABRSM, Trinity Grade, from grade 1-8, with merits and distinctions, and more advanced exams as well (Performance Diplomas).
I teach for the Enjoyment of Music as well. I believe you can learn to play the piano at any age. My oldest student is over 75 years old and my youngest one has 3 years old. They made great progress, I am sure you could do the same.
I've never met anyone who didn't have musical abilities! You can be a serious or a recreational player. The only requirement is the willingness to spend some time at the piano.
I conduct my lessons using a combination of 4 cameras for optimum visibility, and a quality microphone which my students find very helpful. This allows them to see a very clear visual demonstration alongside my verbal explanation.
I can confidently say that Online Lessons are the same as In-Person Lessons.
CURRICULUM
I do not believe one method works for all students. I have used many different lesson books and resources over the years.
For beginners I like to use Alfred method books for basics concepts and for Classical and Jazz Piano technique I like to use ABRSM books (grade 1-8). If my student feels that they can learn better from another books, I am glad to adapt my teaching strategies to their needs.
Along with the lesson books below, I use a lot of supplemental materials based on the students' interests. I also aim to teach their favorite songs as soon as possible.
I like to clearly explain and demonstrate piano technique. In this way, the students are able to apply the information on similar passages from all genres of music.
