My Passion

"Playing an instrument is a permanent discovery experience. Students are the best teachers to a teacher. I love working with musicians of all kinds of disciplines, reaching them tools to achieve more ease in the complex action of practising, performing, not by setting musical rules but by opening the path of discovery."

My Desire

"My wish is to be able to find the shortest and most effective way to reach a student. To be able to find for each person the right way to solve problems and get to the rewarding result of free, resounding personal sound through less strain and tension."

My Music

"I want to share my experience with people interested to continuously improve, simplify, enriching their sound and expression pallet.
Tension chases away the openness and joy when playing. My goal is to offer a choice of awareness, finding the way to a different approach based on less tension."
