Massimiliano - Know your guitar teacher

I’m a guitar player graduated from the Luca Marenzio Conservatory of Music in Brescia, Italy, (Conservatorio Luca Marenzio di Brescia) in the Pop-Rock Department, with experience in both live performance and studio recording. I have also worked as a substitute guitar teacher in a private school, delivering individual lessons to students of different ages and skill levels. My repertoire is mainly focused on the pop-rock genre, with a strong interest in blues, funk, and jazz. In both my teaching and artistic practice, I maintain a keen focus on neurodivergent learners, particularly people with ADHD (as myself), developing more inclusive and effective teaching approaches. I’m currently seeking opportunities in teaching, live performance, and session work. I took part in the Erasmus+ programme at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Leipzig, Germany, during the 2024/25 winter semester, working on ensemble projects, improvisation, and traditional jazz repertoire. I was also selected for the Erasmus+ placement traineeship at the Lietuvos Muzikos ir Teatro Akademija in Vilnius, Lithuania, from February to July 2026, where I worked on ensemble projects, artistic research, and music pedagogy.
