"I personally know Francesco because we studied in the same Music school, the Saint Louis College of Music and also shared classes. I would like to personally recommend him for the guitar teacher role; he is a mind that is always focusing on being as unique as it gets trying not to fit in something, rather creating personal music, inspired by all the genres and styles that he perfectly plays. From the human standpoint, he is patient and never gives up something, a kindhearted man that works perfectly with others and has a lot of ways to teach and speak to people." - Joseph

"Music is everywhere in our life. We grow up singing nursery rhymes along with our mothers and every precious moment can be connected to a song. Music is one pillars of education and socializing. Learn Music is to communicate and open ourselves to the world. You are the teacher and I am the student, and what is the most important human relationship in the world? My journey with Francesco, and I am more older than him, I shall confirm every word I said, because he's the teacher and I am the student and I couldn't find a better teacher for his passion, his patience and his knowledge. Thank you, Francesco." - Duilio

 

 

"Francesco is my son's first ever guitar instructor. I wasn't sure if my son was going to enjoy playing a guitar or not as he was torn between a guitar and keyboard. He has grown to love playing guitar and I must say it's all due to Francesco's supportive teaching style. He has a calm manner, infinitely patient, takes his time to help my son progress and he has a fantastic rapport with him. He works very well with my family schedule because even though we have a fixed time for lessons, he can be flexible when needed." - Abby

 

 

"My son has been learning guitar with Francesco for more than a year. My son really enjoys his lesson. Francesco has been able to engage the students well both online and in-classroom lessons. He really motivates kids well and encourages them to pursue their music journey. He always goes an extra mile and provides notes, tips and songs to listen. My son really look forward for his classes." - Hamsapriya
