I train young pianists or assist experienced pianists in their preparation

Hello, I am Federico, a professional classical pianist, concert performer, and teacher. I am here to propose a high-level program designed to learn how to play the piano. My work is not improvised but is the result of decades of study with great international masters, both performers and educators. The lessons are aimed at students who are approaching the piano for the first time but are highly motivated and eager to dedicate themselves to the instrument, as well as advanced students who are preparing for concerts, competitions, and exams. All necessary materials will be provided by me, lesson by lesson. It will be necessary to have an instrument at home (even a digital one to start).

About Me

I started studying the piano when I was 9 years old, and since then, it has always been my life. It has taken me around the world, allowed me to have unforgettable experiences, and introduced me to people I will never forget. I have dedicated a significant part of my life to piano study, competitions, masterclasses, and concerts. Now, it's time for me to share my experience by helping the new generations get into piano playing. There is less and less interest in classical music, and it is our duty to keep it alive more than ever. Like all beautiful things, it cannot be appreciated unless you know it, and like all beautiful things, you will only get closer to it with some effort. However, the satisfaction will be immense. Many of my students continue their studies at important music institutions, and some of them have already entered the professional world of concert performance.

Education

Federico began studying piano at the age of 9 and then graduated with honors from the Vincenzo Bellini music institute in Catania. He later attended the Academia Internacional de Musica "Aquiles delle Vigne" in Coimbra under the guidance of M. Aquiles delle Vigne, and simultaneously obtained a second-level academic diploma in musical disciplines from the institute in Catania. He continued his studies with M. Corrado Ratto and in 2016 he earned a Master of Arts in music pedagogy from the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in the class of Anna Kravtchenko. He then attended the Master of Arts in music performance at the same Swiss institution.
He has won first prizes in dozens of national and international competitions, including the first prize at the Eliodoro Sollima competition in Enna, the first prize at the 18th edition of the international Gianluca Campochiaro competition, and numerous other prizes in national and international competitions. He attended masterclasses at the International Summer Academy Salzburg under the guidance of Aquiles delle Vigne and in 2008 was admitted as an effective participant in the international Musica Arvenzis masterclass held in Bratislava by Peter Cerman. He has also perfected his skills with Maestro Franco Scala and Leslie Howard. In 2017, he recorded a CD entitled "The Journey" for KSN Classical featuring music by Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Liszt, and Mussorgsky. He regularly performs concerts as a soloist and in chamber formations, and has played for important musical institutions, festivals, theaters, and associations, for RAI, the Steinway Society, for the Zandonai theater in Rovereto and the philharmonic hall, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, and the Garibaldi theater in Enna.
He is part of the piano duo FERDIS, in collaboration with M. Federico Distefano. The duo regularly performs concerts throughout Italy, always maintaining a project-oriented approach. The duo's instinct is to create musical innovations through a profound research into a repertoire that ranges from Baroque to contemporary. In February 2020, the Ferdis duo performed and recorded a rare transcription of "Primavera in Val di Sole" by R. Zandonai for four hands for the Zandonai study center.

Experience / Qualifications

Experience in the concert field, both solo and chamber music, a strong theoretical and cultural background in music, its history, and its composers. Experience and training in teaching, I have prepared materials on sight-reading, managing students, and how to make the most of their potential. Effective techniques on the instrument.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

(Online) Mathematics Tutoring for High School Students
High School Math can be confusing for students. Often there is not enough time in school to repeat the content and practice enough, for the students to gain confidence and a routine in solving mathematical problems. With my help and guidance, any confusion will be cleared and we will practice problem solving until you are confident and understand the material. The lessons will be tailored to your needs and their structure depends highly on you: usually it is a mixture of repeating the content, solving exercises together, summarising important concepts and talking about exercises you tried yourself at home. The topics, content, pace and methods of learning will be adjusted to your needs, ensuring that you get the most out of my lessons. Besides the lessons, you will get "homework" to work on to strengthen your skills and independent working. Topics include, but are not limited to: -Linear Algebra -Calculus -Trigonometry -Geometry -Set Theory -Analysis If you have another topic in mind that you really need help with, just send me a message! Whether you need someone that explains the concepts to you or just someone to practice exercises with - I am sure I can help you. You have an exam soon and want to review the main topics? No problem! You have a very specific problem, question or topic that you need help with? I'm here to answer any questions! You need help with preparing for your A-levels/High School diploma? Don't fret, I will guide and prepare you! The most important part of my lessons is, however, to ensure a safe and comfortable environment - I have no issue with explaining the same concept over and over again until I am convinced that you have understood it. It is important to me that you feel comfortable in asking any questions - I want to show you, that Math is more than a subject and that it can be fun!
