I am a classical guitar performer, educator, and researcher musicologist. I have more than 15 years of teaching experience in Italy and the USA with students of all ages and levels. I like teaching, nurturing students' passion for music and guitar, and sharing with them my knowledge and skills. I am the director and co-founder of DalMaestro https://dalmaestro.com, an online and in-person music school based in New York, NY. My students were accepted into prestigious music schools including Mannes School of Music and La Guardia High School. They regularly receive RCM awards and have been selected to perform in Carnegie Hall for the RCM North East Annual Celebration of Excellence Recital since 2017, as well as in prestigious venues in New York City, including Manhattan School of Music.
I hold a Guitar Diploma from the "G. B. Martini" Conservatory of Bologna (Italy) and an M.A. with honors and a Ph.D. in Musicology from the University of Rome. I am a RCM Certified Teacher in Guitar and Music Theory and completed the RCM online teaching certification.
I can't wait to meet and work with you!
