Instruments: Piano Saxophone Djembe

My approach to teaching is based on a large amount of communication between the students, the parents, and I.

During this period I will add repertoire appropriate to the level of the student and according to national standards like NISMA and All State. Read More

My lessons may also be a combination of music and technology. Having extensive training in IT (I also hold a bachelor in Computer Engineering and working in a masters of Software Engineering) I can also teach the student how to use technology to further his learning in music.
