My approach to tutoring is based on analyzing and listening with deep attention at students’ needs and requests, being patient while motivating with positive and neutral critic.
I also responsibly acquire an appropriate teaching material and resources relating to individual students’ needs ensuring an up-to-date knowledge and a critical awareness about their level.
I mostly use John Thompson Piano course for different levels and several teaching material and resources acquired via masterclasses and lessons with important musicians.
I do also teach modern music as pop, jazz, funky, blues, latin-jazz and more.
Since 1997 I'm teaching in several schools and as a private tutor to more than 60 students, preparing them to exams or to become professional musicians with remarkable results.
I begun studying Classical Piano at the age of 7 and I also had the chance to attend several masterclasses in Improvisation, Music Harmony and Theory with important musicians as: George Garzone, Bob Brookmeyer, Ayn Inserto, Scott Henderson, Gary Willis, John Stowell, Bob Mintzer, Dave Holland, Kurt Rosenwinkel and more.
Lessons rates may variate based on the student's level and/or travel expences.
PERSONAL STATEMENT
My music studies began at the age of 9. Since 1990 I began playing as a bass player in many different music's styles bands.
Since 1997 I started as a music teacher in several private schools and private
lessons.

Hi,
I really like him methods and patience during the classes. I will recommend..
A very reliable tutor, knowledgeable and able to explain lessons in easy to understand terms. He is patient and encouraging and works easily either in person, or via remote platforms such as Skype. I have found Mario to be also very diligent with time and will make up any time that may be lost due to any late start, on the rare occasions that this has happened. He is also very willing to accommodate any lesson changes that the student may need, even at short notice.
Mario has taught me different instruments, Piano, guitar and jazz appreciation.
He is a very good teacher with lots of patience and goodwill.
He is an outstanding guitarist with tens of years of experience in playing bass guitar in Italy and the Uk. I strongly recommend him.
Mario is a fantastic teacher. He is extremely patient with my enthusiastic 6 year old and I am delighted that just after 3 lessons, my son can already play tunes like twinkle twinkle quite confidently. I highly recommend Mario and look forward to seeing what my son and him accomplish together.
