I was born in Italy where I did all my studies and where I played professionally the double bass and the mandolin for more than 20 years. In 2009 I moved to the US and since then I teach mandolin around the Bay Area and conduct the San Francisco Mandolin Orchestra. I do private lessons of mandolin in Oakland, San Francisco and Palo Alto with passion and competence. If you are interested in have lessons with me, the best way to contact me is via email.
What is a Kindermusik Class? Well, simply put, they are the best early childhood music and movement classes for kids ages 0-6! Trusted. Proven. Educational. And of course, fun! Kindermusik International is the world’s leading provider of music and movement programs for young children, enjoyed by over 1 million families in more than 70 countries. And our mission? It’s simple. Music is the best vehicle for early childhood learning. We want to instill a lifelong love of music and learning in children.
Kindermusik is a classroom learning experience. We teach children music so they can become better learners. It's not about making little Mozarts. It's about developing skills in the whole child - ages newborn to 7 years - cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language and musical. For more than 25 years, we have believed music is the best conductor for learning.
Little Opera is a comprehensive nine-month after-school program that challenges the assumption that opera is not for everyone. We bring together elementary aged students in grades 1-6 and professional Bay Area artists to create, rehearse, and perform an original opera.
