Teaching

As each student is different in relation to age, character, background, etc. I strongly believe that the “perfect method” doesn’t exist and when I have to recommend a specific path for a pupil I always try to first understand their personality and their objectives with regard to the instrument. Certainly my personal experience characterised by many changes of professors has helped me a lot in order to develop my own way of thinking related to teaching. The most important values that have been transmitted to me and that I want to deliver to my students consists of believing in themselves, benefit from discipline and patience, always expand their knowledge thanks to their curiosity and to give importance to physical health. As a teacher I feel the responsibility of establishing a good relation with the student, adapting my way of teaching to age, level, experience and different personality of each of them. My goal is to understand what the student's needs are and to meet them by adopting a specific method for each of them to make them feel comfortable. Furthermore I always motivate and encourage the students to make them be aware of all their qualities with which they will be able to express their own inner world and ideas through sounds.

Children

I really enjoy working with children and I have experience working with really young pupils (from 3 years old, pre-school students), helping them to discover the musical world using and developing their own creativity.

I have experience in working with different teaching methods supported by teaching books such as Faber and Faber, Bastien, Suzuki, ABRSM, etc.

Over the past years I have been coaching my students towards taking examinations, especially for ABRSM exams.

Adults

During the lessons we'll focus on several aspect of both the music itself and the performance of it. We'll give space to a deep reading of the score to better understand musical features of the piece such as harmony, melody, rhythm and form which will be combined with technical exercises in order to develop strength and flexibility necessary for the playing of the instrument. I also give much attention to the physical wellbeing of my students helping them to develop good habits in terms of posture and relaxation.
