Instruments: Piano Voice
I start off all beginning students by teaching them the fundamentals of singing. If students have taken lessons in the past, I work on reviewing fundamental concepts with them. When a student first begins lessons, I typically spend more time on helping to build the student's technique than on repertoire, and as the student progresses, I split the lesson more equally between the two components. I believe in motivating students by helping them learn the repertoire to which they are most attracted, though I do also give them repertoire of styles with which they may be less familiar in order to help them solidify their technique.

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer
I find my greatest joy in life in music and sharing it with others. I am a composer and performing pianist who has discovered music as my most comfortable language for communicating with the world. I have benefitted from studying with some of the world's foremost composers at Juilliard, Bard and the Manhattan School of Music, and am enthusiastic about imparting all that I have learned from them. I have performed my own works with the American Symphony Orchestra, and in such venues as Alice Tully Hall (Lincoln Center), Carnegie Hall, Tanglewood, Aspen, and all over Europe. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
A student will always learn technique and theory on a much deeper level when it is taught in conjunction to music that they like, rather than as a separate academic study. This method maintains a students interest as well.With regards to advanced players, I find that the problem is rarely how to play, but rather what to play, or what NOT to play. This is usually best solved by helping a player to re-examine his or her approach to applying what they already know. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I have taught both private and group lessons in music programs and schools within the Manhattan and Flushing area. I have taught students ranging from 4 to 35 in piano, guitar, voice, music history, and music theory. By getting to know each student's music tastes, I can create a lesson plan that makes practice seem less like a chore and more like something they feel inspired to do on my own. And that is always my biggest goal. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Drums
However, that's an intimidating road to stare down, when you're at the start! But the journey of learning music is all part of the fun. To help make this more palatable, I like to get to know the student a bit more, to understand what it is that they enjoy listening to, and why they like it. By incorporating material that they enjoy, and by keeping the environment of the lesson fun, safe, and comfortable, it's easy to give people the tools they need to really enjoy playing their instrument to their fullest potential.

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Saxophone Bass Guitar Double Bass Keyboard
I took on my first student in 2007 and found that I loved it! In being an open minded learner, I made it a point to treat my students in the same manner; thus allowing me to develop highly individualized lessons, plans, and goals for my students. I made it a point to ensure their goals and needs were in line with any external deadlines. I would encourage students to keep practice journals and to record at home practices for reference.

Instruments: Piano Drums Latin Percussion
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I first went to the Conservatory of Naples (IT) and studied classical percussion during high school. After that, at 18 I moved to Amsterdam and got my Bachelor (skipping one year) in Jazz Drums. Thereafter I got also my Master degree in Amsterdam, during which I did an exchange of a semester at The New School in New York. After that, in 2020 I started my second Master degree at Manhattan School of Music in New York, which I completed and graduated in May 2022 with 4.0 GPA.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience. Playing drums, or trying to master any kind of art, is not only about the instrument/art. It's really a spiritual process of your whole life.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My father plays drums as a hobby so when I was a little kid I used to watch him play at the house and after few years of life I asked him to buy me a drumset
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I've played with some of the best musicians in the world. In Amsterdam I played in the Big Band with John Clayton, Bob Mintzer and Vince Mendoza, to name a few. Those where beautiful experiences. However I think the best is yet to come.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I started playing drums at a very young age, I was about 5 or 4, watching my father. So my father was my first drums teacher, and of course we didn't ahave a conventional teacher-student relationship. My first real teacher was Maurizio Saggiomo. I went to him at 12 and I stayed for about 4 years. He's of course the one who gave me the most. I'm very thankful to him and the way he taught me, I learned a lot not only about the drums but also about life and teaching. Then of course I had a lot of teachers in my life and everyone of them was very impactful in different ways.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no requirement one must have to start taking lessons. Every level, age or background is a good place to start. It just takes a good teacher to be able to understand the student, their learning patterns and allow the blossoming of their musicianship.
When will I start to see results?
I believe the more quality time one puts in it, the sooner the results will manifest. Don't rush the process, there are no shortcuts, just focus when you practice and you'll see you're going to get a lot out of it.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My advice to practice effectively is: practice slow and focused! Most of the time practicing is just a matter of allowing your brain and your body to match their speed, so to speak.
