This class is for aspiring pianists, beginners who are trying to take their first steps on the keyboard as well as those who have some experience and want to improve their skills.
Then let's work together to help you achieve your goals and find your way of expressiveness on the piano!

The construction of the lessons is tailored to each student's needs and wishes. We choose pieces and exercises from different books, as well as songs that you like. I can also provide basic music theory notes and knowledge, to help with the understanding of the piano and music in general.*
No pressure, just fun and good discipline!
I will be glad to be your guide and help you to overcome all your fears and fall in love with playing piano.
I can also prepare students for exams as well as any kind of piano/music qualifying exam.

*For the students who want to understand the music, I am also teaching music theory as a separate class.

Something about me:
I have been professionally teaching for more than 8 years and have guided children, teenagers, and adults of every age, both in private and public schools in Italy.
I just moved to the Royal Conservatoire of Hague to complete my study in Composition. I already have a Master in Piano performance and a Master's in Chamber Music.

Play the piano or make your own song!
I can help you develop your creativity with sounds. What are you waiting for?

Ciao! I have been teaching Italian for the past twelve years. I have taught privately and at language schools like La Scuola Italiana del Greenwich Village in New York and ItalCultura, the school of the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago. During the first few lessons I will make sure you have the tools to pronounce and identify all the sounds of the Italian language. This step is essential! And it will make everything easier afterwards. When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling. When you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words.

I will customize my materials to your interests, needs and desired pace. And because you are learning from a native Italian you will also learn about Italian culture and history. You will absorb a way of thinking, not just grammar rules.

I speak a bunch of languages so I know a thing or two about how tedious language classes can be. My terrifying French teacher in middle school made us repeat the same fake dialogue from a really bad book ad nauseam, over and over and over again. Some of those dialogues are carved in my brain: “Bonjour, je m’appelle Richard Drapeau, je viens du Canada, je suis Canadien...”

When I teach Italian I try to avoid all the things that I hated as a language student. We will use real songs, real literature, do real conversation and storytelling and we will go on “talking walks” because when you are engaging all your senses it is easier to keep your mind relaxed and to remember new words.

I hold a degree in Lingue e Letterature Straniere (Foreign Languages and Literatures) from Università Roma Tre (equivalent to an American MA) and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts and Media from Columbia College Chicago. I wrote a thesis about translating a long epic poem by W. H. Auden and I tried to ride a horse across America.

From absolute beginners to fluent conversation in Italian!
A fascinating mix of language, culture, cuisine and current affairs from Italy – with a dash of necessary grammar!

For over 30 years I have been passionately teaching individual and group lessons to people of all levels. I am Gianni, a born and raised Florentine who has been living in Delft for quite some time. Florence, the birthplace of the Italian language, is also the city of Dante Alighieri, the founder of modern Italian. No, we are not related 😉, but just as Haarlem in the Netherlands is known for its ABN pronunciation, Florentine Italian is considered the standard language. I proudly convey this authentic Italian in my lessons.

Professional experience
I am currently a teacher of Italian at the Volksuniversiteit Delft, after having previously taught for four years at the Volksuniversiteit Rotterdam. In addition to my work as a teacher, I am also a professional singer of traditional Italian folk songs. I like to integrate this passion into my lessons, because music is a powerful tool for learning a language. Well-known lyrics and melodies not only make the learning process more fun, but also more effective. I often accompany my singing with guitar, which creates an authentic Italian atmosphere.

Teaching method
For beginners, I use an accessible textbook that explains the basics of Italian step by step. During the lessons, I immediately correct mistakes in sentences or pronunciation, so that you gain more confidence in speaking. My approach is practical and interactive: every mistake is an opportunity to learn something new, whether it is a word, a grammatical rule, an anecdote or a cultural context.

In addition, we pay attention to Tuscan cuisine and culture, so that you not only learn the language, but also experience the rich Italian lifestyle. For advanced I work with more advanced texts, current topics and conversations, so that you continue to develop your language skills.

Unique to my approach
🎵 Language and music come together: traditional songs make learning playful and unforgettable.
🇮🇹 Authentic Tuscan accents: as a born Florentine, I bring real standard Italian to Delft.
🍝 Culture at the core: from Tuscan dishes to inspiring stories about Italy, my classes offer more than just language.

I look forward to discovering the beautiful Italian language and culture with you!

Arrivederci!
Gianni

Lessons of conversation in Italian with Gianni
Devo dire che do lezioni gia da piu di 30 anni a tutti i tipi di persone per principianti e per esperti di ogni grado
Mi chiamo Gianni, sono nato e cresciuto a Florence, cultura e della cucina toscana, che amo profondamente. Da molti anni insegno conversazione in Italian a studenti di tutte le età, condividendo non solo la lingua, ma anche le tradizioni culinarie e culturali della mia terra.
My method
Durante le zioni, correggo subito frasi e parole errate, aiutandoti a migliorare la tua pronuncia and ea parlare con più sicurezza. By the way, all the steps are taken, using an organic method based on the principle principles, integrating elements in order to render the natural apprendiment and follow-up.
This is an error and one of the stories is one of the most important ones.

A musical tocco
Oltre a essere insegnante, sono anche cantante di musica popolare italiana. Credo che imparare un lingua attraverso le melody ei testi delle canzoni tradizionali sia un modo efficace e piacevole per memorizzare nuove parole ed espressioni. Con me puoi anche cantare en italiano, accompagnati dalla mia chitarra!

Hope and passion
Ho insegnato per 3 anni alla Volksuniversiteit di Rotterdam and attualmente gia da 4 anni do lezione alla Volksuniversiteit di Delft. L'insegnamento per me non è solo un lavoro, ma una vera passione. To understand this, it is important that you are a student and diverted, and that you are a student.

Se vuoi imparare l'italiano e immersion nella cultura toscana, contattami!

A heartfelt greeting,
Gianni

Additionally, my courses offer microlanguages designed to focus on very specific needs, such as Italian for Travel, Italian for Cooking and Food Culture, or Italian for Socializing, where students can focus on improving conversational skills, understanding Italian gastronomy, or mastering the language of travel and tourism.
