My course plans to teach the vocal technique suitable for both singing and modern singing.The lessons include a theoretical part, with vocalizations, and a practical part, in which songs chosen by the teacher or student are sung.

The lessons are flexible and are adapted to the needs of the student, for example in the presence of concerts or events.
Possibility to receive notions of musical education (ex: reading the notes) if requested by the student.

My singing course is particularly attentive to correct breathing and the care of the voice, so it is suitable for all ages.

I teach students of every level, I work privately, in person and online. I teach all ages, from children to adults, from level “zero” to students who want to prepare for exams in Conservatories, but also amateurs or people who just want to try some piano lessons.

My teaching method is changing with time. The more I teach, the more I learn from my students. I see teaching as a dynamic experience, and I welcome the students to give feedbacks and set their own goals, in order to give them my best advices and guidance. I am usually focusing on generating independence in the approach to music, with slow but steady learning of music reading, understanding of rhythm and all the fundamentals needed by every one, adapting of course to the students' goals.
If you want to contact me, I will be happy to answer all the questions. I usually answer in short time.

(Do not consider the booking timetable you see on my page. I prefer to write the student and find a day that works for both of us.)

Insegno a studenti di ogni livello, privatamente, sia di persona che online. Insegno a persone di tutte le età, dai bambini agli adulti, da principianti assoluti a chi si prepara per gli esami di Conservatorio, ma anche ad amatori o a chi desidera semplicemente provare qualche lezione di pianoforte.

Il mio metodo di insegnamento si evolve nel tempo. Più insegno, più imparo dai miei studenti. Considero l'insegnamento un'esperienza dinamica e incoraggio gli studenti a fornire feedback e a definire i propri obiettivi, in modo da poter offrire loro i migliori consigli e la migliore guida. Mi concentro principalmente sullo sviluppo dell'autonomia nell'approccio alla musica, con un apprendimento graduale ma costante della lettura musicale, della comprensione del ritmo e di tutti i fondamenti necessari a ciascuno, adattandomi ovviamente agli obiettivi dello studente.

Se desiderate contattarmi, sarò lieto di rispondere a tutte le vostre domande. Di solito rispondo in breve tempo.

(Non fate riferimento al calendario delle prenotazioni che trovate sulla mia pagina. Preferisco contattare direttamente lo studente e concordare un giorno che vada bene per entrambi.)

Ciao! Sono Diego, cello student at the Italian Svizzera conservatory. I'm Spanish and I've been to Lugano for 3 years. Mi piace so fare lezione, ho avuto già altri studente e mi sembra una attività so stimolante anche per me, imparo so many doing lezioni.

Learning how to play cello can be very frustrating sometimes if you don’t find the right exercises or motivation. Maybe you just want to learn how to play some song of your liking, or maybe you want to start to become a professional musician. Either way, I like to work with music and find the best way for my students to enjoy the lessons and learn at their own rythm.

Learn to use your voice efficiently through science-based technique. Focus on diaphragmatic breathing, breath control and vocal placement to improve tone, stability and range. Benefits extend to both singing and everyday speech clarity and confidence.
