First and foremost, at the beginning of each journey, I highly value getting to know and listen to the student's needs and the objectives they aim to achieve. This way, I can establish a teaching method tailored to each individual right from the start.
Throughout the lessons, I focus on both refining the instrument's technique (especially if the student is a beginner, initially dedicating a significant amount of time and energy to understand which technique suits their hand and subjectivity best) and enhancing musical expressiveness, ease in performance, and addressing the specific needs that vary from student to student.
I also consider it extremely important to work on a classical repertoire while simultaneously discovering the student's musical preferences. I am very open to accommodating the student's requests while highlighting prominent composers and pieces within the repertoire.
Central to my teaching approach is the student - teacher dialogue during the lesson, which I believe is crucial for an effective, serene, and formative learning experience.
Moreover, I offer lessons aimed at preparing the student for a potential competition, conservatory audition, or orchestra performance.

About Me
I began studying the harp at the age of 7 in Palermo, Italy.

Later on, I attended the Master's program in Harp at the Musikhochschule in Mannheim, Germany, completing my studies in November 2023.

My repertoire spans from classical to contemporary pieces.
