Buongiorno! I give Italian lessons for those who want to either learn the basics of the language (grammar, syntax), or improve the conversation (diction, vocabulary, ways of speaking), listening and writing. The course is for all levels, I try to customize the teaching method according to the needs and level of the student.
I am also looking for a hands-on, life-saving course to allow the student to arrive at a basic conversation as early as possible.
If the student likes (better) to know Italian culture, we can talk about art, literature, cinema, music, gastronomic culture, Italian traditions, customs and traditions and of course also subjects of his interest.
During the course we speak Italian, if necessary I can speak also French and English.
Contact me for more information!

I was born in Perugia, Italy, in 1976. It's a beautiful city in central Italy, where I've lived most of my life. I've also lived for a while in Rome, Paris, and New York, and I moved to Brussels in 2020 for personal reasons. I love not only music, but also literature, poetry, cinema, travel, my country, culture in general, good food, and good wine—especially Italian. I believe in kindness and prefer to live by trusting people.

Do you want to know your vocal range? Learn how to sing higher notes without hurting your voice? Learn how to hit the passing notes? Achieve a powerful yet agile voice?
My name is Matteo Schifanoia, I am a songwriter, pop and jazz singer, and vocal coach with 20 years of experience in music. I offer singing lessons for all levels. My lessons focus on developing body, muscle, and vocal awareness, which helps us perceive and consider our bodies as musical instruments.
My teaching method is the result of the synthesis of my experience as a singer and the many and diverse study paths followed. The lesson is structured in two parts: the first half devoted to vocal technique, the second half to the musical repertoire and learning the musical language (jazz or pop or other genre).

The vocal technique that I propose is a basic technique for all types of modern singing: from postural education to the care of breathing, from the use of abdominal muscles, to the emission of air to the resonance cavities. We will work on the sound, on the extension of the voice, on the high and low notes, on the passage of register, on the control, on the power and agility.
From a repertoire perspective, the lessons will be tailored to the student's needs and interests, with an emphasis on proper stage presence and posture. I can prepare students for conservatory entrance exams and all types of auditions. If the student wishes, I can also provide instruction in harmony and music reading.
