About Me

Hi, I'm Giovanni! I'm an Italian saxophonist from Puglia, and I've just completed a Master of Music Performance (Konzert) at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste in Zürich, studying under Prof. Lars Mlekusch. I also hold a conducting minor, which has shaped the way I listen, teach, and approach music as a whole.

The saxophone entered my life at twelve, through a family instrument, and hasn't left since. My artistic focus is contemporary and experimental music, built through years of performances across Europe and close collaboration with living composers — but I enjoy working across a wide range of styles and repertoire.

Teaching is something I genuinely care about. I have several years of experience with students of all levels, from complete beginners to conservatory candidates. My lessons are based on the classical method, solfège, and music theory, with repertoire chosen together depending on your goals and taste.

Education

Master Music Performance - Saxophon
2024 - 2026 | Zurich University of the Arts
The Master of Music Performance (Konzert) at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste offers a comprehensive program focusing on advanced music theory and performance practice, with particular emphasis on contemporary and experimental repertoire. Specializing in saxophone under Prof. Lars Mlekusch, the curriculum integrates solo performance at the highest level with chamber music, new music ensemble work, and interdisciplinary artistic research. A conducting minor under Iwan Wassilevski further broadens the artistic profile, developing skills in score reading, rehearsal technique, and ensemble leadership. The program combines rigorous individual instruction with an active concert life in one of Europe's leading music institutions, preparing graduates for careers as soloists, chamber musicians, and versatile performers in the contemporary music landscape.

Italian for English speakers | Practical, natural conversation

102 C$ /h

Hi! I’m Giovanni, a native Italian speaker from Puglia and a professional musician. Traveling has taught me to learn about different cultures and truly listen to people—and I bring that same approach to my lessons.

My lessons are designed for English speakers who want to learn Italian in a practical and natural way. We’ll start with real-life conversations on topics that interest you: from daily life to work, from travel to personal interests. I’ll help you speak naturally by suggesting realistic alternatives in spoken Italian, with clear explanations and no pressure.
I’ll tailor the pace to your needs, creating a relaxed and non-judgmental environment. Whether you want to:
- Improve your fluency and pronunciation
- Feel confident when speaking
- Stay in constant contact with the language
you’ll find a flexible, practical, and personalized learning path. Lessons can be regular or occasional, always tailored to your goals.

Together, we’ll turn learning Italian into an authentic, fun, and practical experience, with results starting from the very first lessons.

The length of the lesson will be tailored to the age and skill level of the student. For beginners with no prior experience, we will begin with the fundamentals of music theory and practical exercises to build dexterity on the piano. For students who already know how to read sheet music, we will work on a diverse range of pieces from different musical styles, with an emphasis on piano technique and expression.

Looking to learn piano but struggling to find the time for in-person lessons?
No problem! Online lessons can also be organised for children from age 8 and adults..
