About Me

I am an experienced and passionate teacher who loves to share his time with passionate students. I like to have an informal but highly personalized teaching approach which aims to support the creative desire and the passion of the students, providing them the technical and theoretical tools to develop these.

I am an Italian guitarist and composer who recently moved to Berlin. I hold a Bachelor in Jazz guitar from the Conservatory of Amsterdam, where I also had the chance to delve into music pedagogy, music theory, classical guitar and composition. My gradually increasing passion for classical and contemporary composition led me to undertake a Composition Master at the University of Huddersfield in the UK, where I studied with Aaron Cassidy and Bryn Harrison who are composers that I deeply admire.

My German is still in an embrional state, so at the moment I am not able to give lessons in German, but my hope is that this will change soon.

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

Music Lessons / Piano Lessons / Music Theory in Erpe-Mere (Burst)
I have been giving private music lessons and fortepiano for a long time. In addition to my classical music education in 2000, I obtained my bachelor's degree in psychopedagogy in 2006. This year I am interested in expanding my practice to include more students with special needs. I learned about the different ways music can help students with special needs. It helps them express their emotions and develop their memories and self-regulatory skills. It can show them strengths that they might not otherwise find during their school day. It can also open their eyes to a whole world of expression and beauty, enriching their lives. I find out what works for a particular student, what distracts them, what motivates them, what helps them focus and sometimes just learn how to relate to them. As a music teacher I enjoy working with the special needs students with autism and visual impairment
