Welcome to Studio Visconte! I have been teaching music for twenty years now, and my teaching style is distinct in that I adjust my approach to the unique needs of each student. I believe that learning music can be more than just reading notes on a page and taking exams; I believe in nurturing each student's innate musical ability and helping them to express it in their own way. I hope to instill in them a life long appreciation for music.
