“An absolute master of every technical detail, a disarming ease in the execution of the octaves, in the double notes arpeggios, in the ribattutos and in the jumps: briefly, an astonishing proof of ability without any concession to the drama, to the choreography, to the exaggerations.“
Claudio Proietti
My academic commitment
I consider my courses as an artisanal workshop, where to “learn” the job of a pianist yet working on concrete facts, with the heart, the head and the hands. We learn the art of listening, listening to ourselves first, to the sound we produce, and to consequently develop the critical sense given by our self-awareness. The ear and the basic musical culture are our northern stars. At a glance, for me, teaching means the transmission to my students of whatever I have personally learned in my life as pianist, whatever I keep learning every day.
