About

About

I am a drummer and drum teacher based in Edinburgh. I started playing music at the age of 8, and it has always been the greatest joy of my life. I have a thorough knowledge of many instruments, including accordion (under the guide of Maestro Giuseppe Piccirilli for 10 years), handpan, and my favourite of them all, the drums.

I have been a drummer for years now, with the studio, live and teaching experience both in Italy and the UK. My ongoing project is the release of a full album with my newly formed punk rock band. As much as I love this instrument, I am well aware that is challenging and extremely rewarding, therefore I would like to contribute in the self-development of others as a teacher.

I am passionate, and I assure you that every lesson will bring something new to the table.

I take students of all ages and levels, and in my lessons I teach the basics as well as the different styles (such as rock, pop, metal and funk), making sure that each music program is tailored for that particular student. I have recently completed a diploma in teaching Music Level 4.

I have been learning the Handpan with Bruno. He is a very good teacher. He has a lot of positive, lovely energy which makes the whole lesson enjoyable. He is also very well organised and structured in how he breaks down the instrument, how it works and how to build up your skills. This means that you are quickly making music while still a beginner but not in a purely mechanical way. The notes he sends after the lesson are very clear so you can focus on learning during the lesson. He can accommodate lessons to fit your schedule and how much practice time you have. His studio is very nice and you can park easily near his house.
