Doctor of Musical Arts, composer and pianist, with 15 years of experience, teaches Composition, Music Theory, Music History, Orchestration, and Arrangement

Emanuele’s professionalism, knowledge, and creativity are evident in everything that he does. One one hand, Emanuele’s compositions demonstrate his deep appreciation of music theory. On the other hand, my experience collaborating with Emanuele proves him to be a kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy person to work with. I have absolutely faith that Emanuele’s music theory lessons are informative, engaging, most of all - inspiring!

I had a pleasure working with Emanuele as a piano teacher. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable and accommodating piano teacher who can guide you on your musical journey, Emanuele is the best choice.

Emanuele is an amazing music teacher. He helped coach me on my Italian singing and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to stylistic interpretation, diction, as well as the historic context of a variety of repertoire. I would highly recommend him as a teacher for singers and pianists. He's an equally accomplished composer and since he completed his Doctoral studies at the University of Toronto, he's a very well-rounded musician you can go to for feedback and high quality lessons.

I highly recommend Emanuele as he is really knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches. He makes you enjoy the subject and guides you to thrive and be successful at it. Highly recommended.

I began taking lessons with Emanuele after securing my first contract as an arranger and composer. His careful approach helped me spot areas where I could improve, all while keeping a supportive and positive atmosphere. His encouraging style—combined with his talent and passion for music and composition—make him an excellent teacher. I will work with Emanuele again, and can recommend him to anyone looking for help with their music theory or composition skills, regardless of level.

As a former Head of Music for two decades at the prestigious South African College Schools and subsequently General Manager of The Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (and KwaZulu Philharmonic Orchestra prior to that) I wholeheartedly endorse Emanuele in whatever position he seeks to fill.

His vast knowledge of his subject combined with his patient disposition and good humour make him an ideal teacher. I had the honour of working alongside Emanuele to bring his first symphony from paper to live orchestra when The CTPO recorded it some years ago.

Anybody who chooses Emanuele as their teacher will benefit enormously and leave every lesson feeling enriched and empowered.

Emanuele is an outstanding musician, composer and teacher. His deep knowledge of composition and music theory is impressive, and he has a natural ability to make complex ideas easy to understand. He’s a wonderful composer, so he understands how music works from the inside. He’s patient, engaging, and highly skilled. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Highly professional and experienced teacher who holds a doctorate from the prestigious University of Toronto. He’s patient and very creative, and he shares his emotions and values ​​to cultivate your own musical passion. Highly recommended.

Emanuele is a passionate composer and musician who cares deeply about developing his students' love of music and helping them succeed. We've worked together several times in performance and have seen the energy and care he puts into everything he does. Also for about 6 months I studied Italian with him, and I know him to be patient, kind, and driven to help students achieve the goals they have in mind.
