About
Cellist - music teacher
a passionate performer, a kind and creative educator
Engaging, fun and sincere.
Like each of us, I contain a universe of passions, energy, and motivation. I am a cellist with a Master’s degree in performance earned in Italy under the guidance of distinguished maestros from the Janigro and Piatti schools.
As a creative and engaging music teacher, I offer cello lessons at all levels and piano lessons for beginners. I am also an early childhood music educator, working with children from 0 to 6 years old, nurturing their first connections with music.
In my role as a member of the College of Examiners, I conduct string music examinations at all levels, supporting students in their musical growth.
Beyond music, I have a background in law and am a qualified lawyer in Italy, with an equivalent title obtained in French in Quebec.
I am also a passionate project manager, leading multiple artistic and musical projects with enthusiasm and dedication, bringing together my diverse expertise to create meaningful and inspiring experiences.
