I'm a long experienced drummer and percussionist, specialised in improvised music, jazz and creative music in general, even though my professional activitity spans from contemporary to pop music. I have accomplished my Bachelor and Masters study in Italy, and since september 2023 I moved to Basel to do a Specialised Master in composition, performance and improvisation. With many years of experience in private teaching and two years as associate professor at the Conservatory of Milan, I love to deal with committed, passionate and curious musicians at any point of their musical carreer, weather they might want to study just for fun, passion, or as a way to enter the profesisonal world of music. I'm available to teach to drummers and percussionist, as well as other instrumentists that may want to deepen their understanding and practicing on rhythm. My artistic research is about time and space, that find their realisation in colors and rhythms. As I graduated also in Foreign Lenguages and Literatures, I like to have also a linguistic approach to music and to musical genres. Some of my main practice interests: - rhythm and dance - rhythm and body - rhythmic approaches in XX century music (mainly minimalism, serialism, spectralism, new music) - historical approach to rhythm and music - rhythmic folk traditions from different countries (india, africa, south america, eastern europe) - polyrhythms - odd meters - microrhythms I see music, drums, percussions and teaching as one of the most beautiful ways to deepen our humanness and understaning of ourselves and the others.

This class is open for musicians of any level and any instrument who would like to engage in a deep studying of rhythm. We'll deepen exercises for improving timing, rhythmic perception, rhythmic phrasing, looking at rhythm from different perspective and approaches, delving into listening and (when desired from the student) transcribing. I believe that understanding rhythm is a foundamental skill for musicians of any genre, and mastering it can be afforded from anyone willing to patiently practice it.
