Summary

Dedicated and accomplished music educator with a robust background in both performance and pedagogy. As the founder, director, and percussion instructor at Tempus Fugit Percussion School, I successfully established and led an institution committed to the promotion of musical culture and education. With a solid foundation in both academic and practical musical settings, I bring a unique blend of creativity, leadership, and educational expertise.

Having spent a decade living in Europe, I possess a high level of proficiency in English and Italian. This international exposure has not only enriched my musical understanding but has also enabled me to successfully launch and manage percussion music schools in Italy. My commitment to fostering teamwork and promoting self-directed learning has been a consistent thread throughout my career.

Currently residing in Belgium, I am engaged in a period of enriching study under the tutelage of the renowned marimba performer and educator, Ludwig Albert. This phase of my journey further augments my skills and insights, reinforcing my commitment to the continuous refinement of my musical abilities and educational approaches.

With a comprehensive professional journey that includes roles as a founder, director, and percussion teacher, I am well-equipped to contribute my wealth of experience and deep love for music to any educational or performance-oriented endeavor.
