Présentation
My name is Paolo. I am an Italian educator, musician, writer, and PhD researcher based in London.

Born and raised in Turin, Italy, I have spent more than twenty-five years working across education, music, theatre, and the humanities. Alongside my teaching career, I am a songwriter, composer, guitarist, and stage director, having independently released multiple albums, composed soundtracks for theatre productions, and performed throughout Europe.

My academic background includes an MA in Humanities and Arts from the University of Turin, a Diploma in Classical Guitar from Trinity College London, an MA in Archaeology from University College London (UCL), and ongoing PhD research at Cardiff University focusing on Sacred Archaeology and the ancient Mediterranean world.

Throughout my career I have taught Humanities, Music, Italian Language and Literature, and Drama in schools, academies, and private tuition settings. Today I continue to combine academic research with teaching, helping students develop not only subject knowledge but also confidence, independence, critical thinking, and a genuine passion for learning.

I strongly believe that excellent results are achieved when students are motivated, curious, and actively engaged in the learning process. My lessons are tailored to the individual, creating a supportive environment where students feel confident to ask questions, explore ideas, make mistakes, and ultimately achieve their full potential.

I am currently accepting students aged 10 and above who demonstrate a genuine interest in the subject and a willingness to engage positively with their studies.

I am also the founder of SounVid Audio & Video Productions, author of the beginner guitar method FAB Guitarist, and author of the Italian poetry collection Viandanti nelle Terre del Sole.

Andrea
My name is Andrea, I have recently concluded my Artist's Master in keyboard instruments at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. My passion for music induced me to apply in the “Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria” in the course of Harpsichord as my principal study. After 10 years studying music and obtaining the diploma of “Grado de Enseñanzas Profesionales” in the conservatory, I developed a deep interest for Classical and Early music for keyboard instruments.

Discovering a historical and musical universe, I decided to continue my performing and theoretical investigation studying the bachelor course in keyboard instruments including piano, harpsichord and organ. I had the amazing opportunity to obtain a scholarship and study at the "Conservatorio Tartini di Trieste", in Italy. Working with exceptional teachers, i was able expand my linguistic abilities and cultural appreciation for the expressive diversity of Keyboard music. I have discovered the magnificent variety between many composers all around Europe and the distinct features and techniques they utilized to improvise and to embellish their pieces. During this artistic journey, i have had extraordinary performance experiences as a soloist including playing at the Parlament of Brussels and the National Gallery in Bosnia. Recently, living in London has inspired me to take part in a wide variety of exciting projects such as performing as a keyboard accompanist in Opera Scenes and with the Guildhall Baroque Orchestra in the Milton Court Concert Hall.

Has your previous piano learning experience been a bit dull? Are you seeking a fresh approach to piano lessons? In my piano lessons, inspired by the Jacques-Dalcroze method, you'll enjoy a unique musical journey beyond just playing the piano and studying theory. You'll also be singing, improvising on the keyboard, and even moving to the music through dance. Learning piano should never be boring, and it certainly isn’t for me or my students. With me, you’ll discover the countless ways the piano can express music. You’ll explore compositions from various composers, periods, and styles, from the classical works of Mozart, Bach, Debussy, and Chopin, to modern pieces, pop songs, and jazz, including Shostakovich. Through eurhythmics exercises, you'll not only play but also feel the music by moving with it, enhancing your musical knowledge and deepening your emotional connection to sound. If you're unsure about moving with the music, don’t worry—I’ll be there to guide you in finding a way to enjoy and love music. I've played the piano since I was five years old and hold a Bachelor’s degree from the Geneva Music University. More recently, I completed my MA in Interdisciplinary Dance Performance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. While my teaching experience mainly focuses on children aged 5-10, I am also well-versed in providing music training and piano lessons for adults. Most lessons are 60 minutes long, but I’m happy to adapt the timing and content based on your needs. Please feel free to get in touch if you're interested in lessons. I look forward to sharing my passion for music with you!
