I graduated from the Palermo Conservatory with Professor Dorotea Cei, student of Lazar Berman, Clive Britton (student of Claudio Arrau) and Roberto Caglieri (student of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli). In addition to a Master's degree in musical psychology in Romania, I also obtained a Master's degree in Advanced Music Performance at the ESMUC in Barcelona with Professor Vladislav Bronevetzky (student of Elisso Virsaladze). I have participated in several Masterclasses, including an annual course with Professor Roberto Plano and thanks to which I was able to acquire valuable teaching experience. Experiences that proved useful for teaching as a piano teacher in Bachelor and Master courses were at the Conservatory of Trapani “A. Scontrino”, at the Conservatory of Ferrara “G. Frescobaldi”, at the Sassari Conservatory “L. Canepa” and at the Palermo Conservatory “A. Scarlatti”.
During the lessons I attach great importance to artistic interpretation, emotional and psychological management during the study phase, before and during a performance, precision and respect for the score and the efficiency of the technique applied to the style and historical period.
I guide students by providing effective and optimizing study and learning strategies, also correcting factors such as posture and the correct use of the body at the piano and on the piano, the physiology of the hand and other factors such as economy of movement. All of these are factors that I have acquired from the great Russian schools from which I come directly and indirectly, with a very empathetic and organizational side I am able to give very satisfactory results to my students.
I recently collaborated as global professor of the Piania Conservatory in South Korea (Seoul) with currently virtual masterclasses and seminars and piano competitions. I recently held masterclasses at the Edward Said Conservatory of Ramallah in Palestine at the college of arts and the Philharmonic theater of Targu Mures in Romania, at the University of Music of Skopje and Sarajevo, at the University of Music in Kaunas (Lithuania) for various Italian associations including the Umbria Classica Association. I am often designated as commissioner in some piano competitions such as, for example, the International Henryk Mercel Piano Competition in Poznan organized by the Polish Calisia Art Foundation, the Malta International Piano Competition and others.
