Learn With Me! Want to be a musical chameleon or become a virtuoso on one instrument? You're in the right place. My goal with teaching music is to equip students with the tools and mindset necessary to free themselves of limitations. I want to work with you to identify your goals, and work towards them in which you will actually have fun and learn. Before taking lessons, I invite prospective students to do a trial session in which you can experience my teaching method and I can answer any questions you may have. Read More

I am a dedicated and patient teacher and I am very proud of all the students that I have taught through the years. Its always really exciting to see any progress. While being considerate of the students pace or availabilty, I try to go in small steps that are easily accomplished each week, expecting constancy in the practice. Most cases, 20m/day every day is preferable than practicing for 2 hours straight the day before the lesson. Read More

I truly appreciate all efforts to produce sound. I am never bored or impatient! My approach to my students is informal, unpressured and encouraging. I play with my students all the time, creating occasions for performance and giving my students contexts for taking pride in their musical achievements. I feel that playing should not be an isolating experience but something to be shared. I organize groups every year: beginner and advanced kids; beginner, intermediate and advanced adults. Read More

I had years of teaching experiences back home to Italy in Upright Electric bass and trumpet and I supported as a musicians many Berklee Faculties during their classes.

I always push to my students to be themselves and never imitate somebody else. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I have toured the country with Peter Frampton and others and have played big concerts including Madison Square Garden. I took lessons from several different drummers including Sonny Igoe. I learned during my time that if I wasn't having fun in my lessons it turned into a less enjoyable task. So I make sure that all my students have a good time, they enjoy learning and that I give them the tools to succeed. Read More
