Teaching Statement

My teaching philosophy is based on the firm belief that everyone can learn how to play music. Teaching saxophone, flute and clarinet across different countries, cultures and institutions for the last 16 years has provided me with the tools and versatility needed to tailor my classes to specific ages and levels.

Furthermore, I always make sure to maintain a positive and enjoyable environment while enriching the students’ knowledge and strengthening their abilities. I design personalized practice routines for my students according to their own interest and objectives in music, keeping a balanced curriculum addressing instrumental technique, rhythm, ear training, creative exercises, music reading, repertoire, and improvisation.

The most important objective in my lessons is to show my students how exciting, fun and meaningful the journey of music learning can be.
