I am Australian and live in Italy. I am a Harpist, Composer and arranger, with many years experience playing concerts, solo and in groups ; events, and theater work. My teaching experience is mainly with adult beginners and intermediate, and classical students , or players who want to explore jazz and improvvisation. My focus in teaching is to empower and inspire the student at what ever level they feel they are at. I like to help students arrive at their own goals , and persue their own chosen style , and repertoire whilst, suggesting new and perhaps alternatives in both approach and repertoire to expand musical horizons. For harpists the basis of technique is classical, believing in a strong technical base , whilst the approach of choosing and finding repertoire is non classical. I like to give the opportunity to alternate with music learned off the page with learning by ear. My specialty is improvisation, both structured and free and am available to teach improvisation, and music in English to not only harpists but to any musicians who already play and may like to explore improv. and help with english lyrics, terminology, and theory. I am also able to help musicians to arrange music for their instrument in the context of duos and trios for example strings with harp, or composers wishing to write for harp.
Extra information
I don't believe in miracles , but miracles do happen. never underestimate your own capacity.

Im Australian and Live in Italy. I love the Italian culture, and have travelled to most parts of italy. I am a harpist , and composer and I enjoy playing both solo and in groups. I love many styles of music to listen to , but to play I love modern jazz, some classical, medieval ethnic, celtic and above all original music, and improvisation. I like painting and everything creative. I love nature, the sea , lakes and forests . I'm a dreamer and a vagabond , any chance to travel especially in Italy. Im a free spirit. I enjoy helping Italians with English and I , by default ( being Mother tounge English) have been able to teach English in Italy over the years and do translations, and having lived in Itay now for 15 years I speak Italian , quite well. I love my home land Australia and get back there not quite enough.

I am Australian, and live in Italy. I have taught English, both at private schools like Shenker and Wall Street and privately. In my private lessons and tutoring I have experience with conversation for both kids and adults. I'm available for conversation, and or working on grammar, vocab, and pronunciation.
I tailor the lessons as I believe everyone has such different needs, goals and interests. I like to teach intuitively, with the main aim being to empower and inspire the student. I hope I can help ! Let me know if you are interested and we can decide a suitable program.

Leandro
PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST, COMPOSER, MUSIC AND GUITAR TEACHER

Beginner-Advanced Level

Experience:
I am a professional musician and have been teaching students of all ages for over 20 years. My experience as a teacher and my pursuit of self-improvement as a musician have led me to develop an effective method that I have already tested with over a hundred students.
Throughout my career I had the satisfaction of studying with great masters of different specialties or styles, each one emphasizing different aspects of flamenco, classical or modern guitar and each one has given me their approach (technique, rhythms, accompaniment, harmony, etc.), which has led me after years of study and compilation to take the best from each one to develop my method.

My role in my classes is more that of a personal trainer than a teacher, where I will be very attentive to bringing out the best in my students, finding the right technique to help them develop a good rhythm, working on their rhythm, etc.
For me, the role of a teacher, in addition to teaching, is to be part of a team, to maintain morale and constantly improve oneself while always maintaining a love for music.

Methodology:
I tailor the lessons to the student's level, style, or goals. Generally, the first half of the lesson is dedicated to technique, focusing on proper placement, execution, and relaxation, which will result in a good sound. Over time, I've realized that it's also a way to connect with the guitar, concentrate, and warm up. So, little by little, we'll develop our routine, which will begin by working on basic rhythmic aspects.
The second half is dedicated to playing, trying to put into practice what we learned about the technique with the sticks or studying other concerns of the student, which may be a theme, harmony, falsetas, improvisation, or even other styles, etc., always obviously taking into account the search or interest of the student.
