I have been teaching music lessons in one form or another since I was 15 years old. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is very important to students as it helps them progress and gain love and passion for the instrument. My students are encouraged to work on their own materials, so it helps them out to grow as an artist and performer. Also, I am a full time member of a professional wedding band and Jazz fusion band.

I love to help people find joy in music. I have young students that dream on being a rock star and every time we play "Back In Black" they open a huge smile and have so much fun. And I have adult students that never touched an instrument before, but now know how magic and unique it is to make music. I love how music allows people to heal from their pains and at the same time multiply someone`s happiness. Read More

Born in Udine (Italy) on May 24th 1994, I grew up in a musical environment and started taking music lessons at the age of 3, under the instruction of Giorgio Cozzutti.

After a while, almost randomly, in a music store, I discovered electric bass, falling in love with it immediately. Read More

My teaching style depends on the student's age and ability. Student's at different levels and ages will need various approaches. For everyone, I try to be calming, supportive, and as fun as possible; there are differences for various ages. With very young students, it's important to be as supportive as possible; especially when learning new things that can often be frustrating. Having an environment of support is paramount to me in these lessons. Read More

My lesson plans are devised around each student's individual goals. Do you have a favorite musician that you want to sound like? Is there an ensemble that you are dying to play in? Through a combination of effective methods and specific structuring to your needs, I can help you achieve those goals! For double bass, I find F. Simandl's "New Method for the Double Bass" and "30 Etudes for the String Bass" to be extremely useful. Read More
