IIIFor schools & institutions

Choose a session

Make a track in a session

A hands-on music production taster. Students build a beat, arrange it and leave with a track idea of their own, made on industry-standard software.

What they leave with

Everyone leaves with their own beat or track idea.

Write a song in a day

From a blank page to a song: melody, hooks, lyrics and structure, the craft of writing something that is genuinely theirs.

What they leave with

A finished song idea, written from scratch.

Music for screen

How music is written for film, TV and advertising. Students score a short scene and hear how the right music changes everything.

What they leave with

A scored scene and a real feel for how sync works.

VITechnology requirements

Technology requirements

  • A display or projector at the school for me to present.
  • A laptop or computer per student (their own, shared, or school-provided).

  • Where it helps, I bring audio interfaces and microphones at no extra cost.

VIILessons in English or Italian

Lessons in English or Italian.

I am a native Italian speaker and have taught in London for years. Lessons, workshops and masterclasses can run fully in English or fully in Italian, useful for international schools, Italian families abroad, and students who simply learn better in their first language.

Leave space, then let the hook land.

Lascia spazio, poi fai entrare l'hook.
