Edoardo has been teaching bass guitar, double bass, guitar, piano, music theory/harmony/composition, music production and music ensemble classes for 14+ years.
He helps students to gain the best results with bespoke lessons for all ages and levels, from beginner to advanced. He has developed a friendly and easy going approach to introduce beginners to the language of music and having them understanding all the 'difficult' things step by step, with the aim of playing simple melodies from lesson n.1
Either if you are starting from no knowledge of music, or if you are an experienced player looking forward to pass grades (Rockschool, Trinity, ABRSM), exams, auditions, etc., with Edoardo's complete study plan you will be able to improve your musical skills on piano and guitar. You will also develop a deep knowledge of ear training that will let you sing in tune and having full control of your performances.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
I'm always astounded when I hear from adult students or parents of young pupils that they had a bad experience with their previous teachers (or the parents themselves have bad memories when many years ago they were introduced to music due to a too rigid teacher).
It's actually counterproductive to be strict and harsh with students. Any learning process, yes, requires discipline and hard work but the fastest way to learn is creating a comfortable environment that speeds up the learning process, so that students can enjoy their time discovering the music language, while the teacher being completely aware of the study path and the small steps each student is gaining in every lesson.
Music production lessons
I do also offer Music production and mixing lessons (Logic Pro X, Sibelius, etc.)
