Who I am

 

I am an electric bass and double bass player, as well as a composer. After completing my classical studies I have attended several jazz and rock master classes, studying also the guitar, the piano and the cello.

I have been teaching my instruments for over 20 years. I have organised music courses for institutions like Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Fondazione Arturo Toscanini in Parma and Idea in Bologna. Every year I also work with a number of students enrolled at the local conservatories, who ask me to help them prepare their annual examinations, from the theory test to the instrument diploma.

After working as a teacher in several music schools, in 1996 I decided to found the "Centro di Formazione Musicale", a music training centre based in Bologna which I directed until the year 2000, designing the course programmes and publishing a number of instructional methods and multimedia CDs available in Italian, English and French.

I have done lots of research into music distance education; one of my latest achievements was the design of suonatidentro.com, currently the most state-of-art Italian music learning website.

I have performed (and still do!) in both symphony and chamber orchestras, as well as in jazz and rock bands. I have appeared in a number of recordings as a leader, side man, arranger and artistic producer.

Recently I have grown extremely interested in ethnic music, especially Hindustan and Japanese, as well as in electronic music. In this respect, I am currently engaged in a project of solo bass and double bass live performance with real time electronic effects.
