About Me

I am an Italian documentary and story teller photographer mostly focused on social environmental and scientific issues.
I studied photography in Florence (Apab, Marangoni) and Boston at the New England School Of Photography (NESOP). Once I had finished my studies in General Biology at the Children’s Hospital I decided to put all my effort into portraying my own interpretation of reality through the lens of the camera.
Among several collaborations such as photographer Alessandro Bencini, Fzero Studio, e-Pitti, De Biasi, I have also worked with the Terra Project collective and am now developing my own photography projects around the world.
My irrepressible street photographer nature and spirit has led to several exhibitions of my projects being held in galleries and artist's studios in Italy and abroad.
I taught photography at the Michelangelo Institute in Florence besides assignments for events, commercials and fashion as a freelance photographer.
My own photography is based on an attention to composition and searching for the light in order to draw out the image with its own melancholy and dark bitter sweet feeling atmosphere that often reflects the personality of the artist.

Photography lessons with a focus on Smartphoneography

34.35 $ /h

Everyone is a photographer, especially these days where we are able to capture a moment and crop our world every-time we like to with our phone. How can fully understand if a picture or a moment is good for that image? how can you use the right tools? What is behind all the post production process with advance tools such us Adobe Suite or even the basic adjustments you can find on every smartphones? Well I can answer these and many more questions you might have.
I am an Italian professional photographer specialised in documentary photography and I have been teaching photography in schools for the past 5 years now. I work in Berlin now and I also give extra private class to people who would like to know more about photography and specific aspects of that.
I am open to guide you and fully understand the topic you would like to learn more.

looking forward to hearing from you!

ENGLISH-SPEAKING PIANO TUTOR

I teach adults of all levels!

I often mentor people who are just starting out, helping them develop their interest in the instrument and play the music they love.

A lot of students come in with anxiety about how good or fast they're going to be able to learn. I work to build a respectful, supportive environment where you feel comfortable developing and learning at your own pace.

For intermediate and advanced students, I teach with a particular focus on fundamental technique through études, and developing musicality.

Oftentimes, as hobbyists, we have holes from our early studies that prevent us from developing later in life. My aim is to help correct that. You should leave with renewed confidence to tackle pieces that have intimidated or eluded you in the past.

I hope to teach you soon!

My method is based on each student in particular. It doesn't matter what your level is, I enjoy teaching people who have a commitment to music and art. The main topics we'll work on are: Recognizing the guitar fingerboard, technique, sound, ear training, transcribing, harmony and harmony applied to the instrument, and reading and studying the instrument through the music you like and chose.

I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.

I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!

Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

🎶 Vocal Lessons Tailored for You 🎶

Singing lessons that fit your needs, just for you! We've got you covered, whether you're a seasoned vocalist or just starting out!
And guess what? Professional voice users like teachers, public speakers, and actors also benefit from the voice work! This can also be a wonderful space for artistic growth and self-expression for non-professional music lovers who are looking for ways to create art.

In our sessions, we want you to feel as independent as possible. We'll have fun learning theory, doing practical exercises, and listening actively together! Let me tell you a bit more about what we'll be doing. We'll be looking at things like voice physiology, breath control, resonance, and clear articulation.

Singing is a wonderful way to express yourself, and it's so important to remember to sing not just with your voice, but with your whole body too! And we love to focus on mindfulness and body awareness! You should feel as good as you sound, my friend!

We're here to help you learn and master whatever genre you love most, whether it's classical opera, pop, jazz, or rock.

It's about hitting the right notes, but it's also about finding your own special voice. And please don't worry if you hit a wrong note or two! We're here to help you learn and grow, and we know that making mistakes is part of the journey.

If you're looking to brush up on your listening skills and gain a deeper understanding of music theory, we've got your back! We can also help you perfect your vocal technique. Our lessons can also help you develop a wider range of musical skills, which we think you'll really enjoy! This includes active listening, which is a key part of our teaching philosophy. You'll learn to appreciate the finer details in music, from the rhythm of the bass to the emotional phrasings of the melody. Our approach is all about getting into the musical texture and feeling the emotional essence and complex layers of your favorite song so you can communicate and act your feelings.

🌟 Ready to start? Book your sessions now! 🌟

Remember, all music starts because someone has a story to tell. Your voice, your emotions, and your stories can come together in a powerful performance. It's your heart, your voice, and your narrative unfolding through music. Come as you are, with all your quirks, your laughter, your shyness, or your chatter. We're a community where every voice is honored. Let's get started on your journey!

Let me teach you to write your own songs, learn any song by ear, create your own style or begin your journey into the world of music and playing the piano. My method is based on learning music from listening, perception and creativity. My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

I look forward to hearing from you!

✨ No matter where you are in your musical journey — your level of experience, background, or how much “natural talent” you think you have — you can always build a voice beyond what you imagined possible.

Here’s what we work on together:

This class introduces the core concepts of film scoring and how music shapes story, emotion, and narrative in film and television. Students will learn how to support and move images through music, exploring timing, mood, theme, and structure. Lessons are tailored to each student’s interests and level, from complete beginners to advanced composers, and can focus on electronic, orchestral, or hybrid approaches.

The course also includes analysis and deconstruction of existing film scores to understand compositional techniques and storytelling strategies. Students will learn how to set up and optimize their digital audio workstation for film scoring, define personal creative goals, and work with industry-standard orchestral sample libraries and synthesizers such as Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, and Cinematic Studio Series. Films with sound design and no music can be provided for hands-on scoring exercises, enabling practical experience working directly to picture.

Musikunterricht – Harmonie, Improvisation & Gehörbildung

Für wen ist der Unterricht geeignet?

Für Musiker:innen auf Mittelstufen- oder fortgeschrittenem Niveau, die über Muster und Automatismen hinausgehen und wirklich verstehen möchten, was sie spielen.

Arbeitsweise:

• Ausgangspunkt sind stets konkrete musikalische Situationen (Spielen, Hören, Improvisieren).

• Harmonie wird über Funktionen, Spannungen, modale Systeme, modalen Austausch und Alterationen erschlossen.

• Theorie dient als praktisches Werkzeug und nicht als abstraktes Regelwerk.

• Gehörbildung ist unmittelbar in die musikalische Praxis integriert.

• Improvisation wird als harmonisches Denken in Aktion verstanden, mit direkter Anwendung auch auf die Komposition.

Ansatz:

Mein musikalischer Weg, geprägt durch intensives Hören, Komposition und vertieftes Selbststudium der Harmonielehre, spiegelt sich in einem Unterricht wider, der die Distanz zwischen Theorie und Praxis verringern und musikalische Eigenständigkeit fördern möchte.

Jeder Lernweg ist individuell gestaltet; ich arbeite nicht mit standardisierten Programmen.

Notenlesen steht nicht im Mittelpunkt – der Fokus liegt vor allem auf Hören und funktionalem Verständnis.

Der Unterricht findet in Präsenz in Berlin statt.
Keine Online-Stunden und kein Hausunterricht.
Sprachen: Englisch / Deutsch / Italienisch.

English:

Music Lessons – Harmony, Improvisation & Ear Training

Who the lessons are for:

Intermediate and advanced musicians who want to move beyond patterns and automatisms and truly understand what they are playing.

How I work:

• We always start from concrete musical situations (playing, listening, improvising).

• Harmony is explored through functions, tensions, modal systems, modal interchange and alterations.

• Theory is treated as a practical tool, not as an abstract set of rules.

• Ear training is fully integrated into the practice.

• Improvisation is approached as harmonic thinking in action, with direct application to composition.

Approach:

My path, shaped through listening, composition and in-depth harmonic study, is reflected in a method that aims to reduce the distance between theory and practice while developing musical autonomy.

Each learning path is personalized; I do not follow standardized programs.
Musical notation is not central — the focus lies primarily on listening and functional understanding.

Lessons take place in person in Berlin.
No online lessons and no home visits.
Languages: English / German / Italian.
