About Paolo

My name is Paolo, a pianist, arranger and music producer, lucky to be able to share the unique mix of my musical experiences: classical Italian conservatoire training, recording studio assistant for orchestral recording in London, musician and arranger for records and live shows. Proficient in different genres, you pick up your favourite pieces and I’ll give you the right training to play and perform them - be it either for ABRSM classical or jazz exams, or pure personal enjoyment.

About the lesson

For info about my lessons, please read on. And try it for free!
For info about music genres to play, please watch my video.

MY APPROACH

My lessons are aimed at giving you strong fundamentals: these are almost always overlooked, and are key to real progress and confidence.

I say "real" progress because a wrong practice can make you advance for a while, until you're stuck without understanding why - and we want to avoid that, because it destroys confidence and I believe it's the main reason for quitting.

Instead, I like to give my students some of the tools of real life musicians, no matter where they are in their journey (beginners or advanced).

What really matters in music is:
- Understanding of the genre
- Being able to understand a piece/song
- For some, reading a score or a lead sheet (which goes beyond just the notes)
- Rhythm
- Sound

As you may have notice, there is no mention of technique or speed - and the reason is that they are just means, not ends in music. I'm a big fan of the right mechanics of playing, but only as long as they serve a purpose - your purpose, based on what you want to play.

A quick word on age: it doesn't matter.

IN CONCLUSION

So, to summarise, my lessons are very accessible, while also challenging - I'm a coach, that's why I come and teach you! They are for everyone willing to learn. I am professional, friendly, and empathetic. We will train the basics properly, and learn how to really understand the music.

You will gain: actual improvement, more confidence, together with an overall sense of relaxedness (yes, it is possible!)  

I’m looking forward to meeting you: try my training with a free lesson!

Paolo has been teaching me piano for about 18 months. I’m a beginner and I really enjoy the lessons. He is:
- reliable and flexible about lesson times
- great at weaving music theory into the lesson by deconstructing pieces so that I can understand it in a ‘real’ way that doesn’t feel dry
- goes at the right pace by checking in with me about what I want to do as well as pushing me to improve skills like rhythm and sight-reading
- super patient with my progress
- lets me pick the music that interests me
- keeps the lessons fun
I can’t recommend him enough!

I have been having lessons with Paolo for a year now, so glad to have found him.
As an adult learner my journey and needs differ and he really seems to get this.
I am relearning some things that were rushed or not done properly before, which while challenging is really showing results.
I am also learning a lot about music theory which again as an adult learner can often be missed or skimmed over.
I feel such a difference and I am thrilled with my progress.
