I’ve been teaching music for many years, and at this point I’ve accumulated experience in various fields.I mainly teach piano (jazz and classical), and also jazz improvisation groups at various levels.Plus I give seminars and lectures on the following topics: - The evolution of jazz through its great pianistsThe history of "serious" electronic music One of the most intriguing teaching activities is the "free improvisation" course I taught for several years at the Testaccio School. Derived in part from my experience with the "Diacronic Ensemble", this two-year course is about a purely acoustic approach to improvisation, not linked to any style or genre.I also would like to mention the series of 20 pieces that I wrote for piano four-hands, with a very easy part to be played by beginners. They are written in the most disparate styles: Baroque, swing, romantic, contemporary, blues, country, pop, dodecaphonic, funky, etc. The idea is to give the student an immediate sensorial experience, so to make him/her more receptive to a later analysis of the various styles and ages, and contribute to the formation of musical taste. Here are some links to the various music schools in Rome where I teach: Scuola Popolare di Musica di Testaccio |
