REVIEWS

“…Marco allowed us to dive in depth of what the real challenges are for musicians and how we can overcome them. The group discussion gave us the space to think outside the box and learn from each other. I will definitely be attending the 12 weeks course because I want to learn the foundations of what being a musician requires. Thank you Marco.”

Aysegul Erdogan

“…my goodness, it was money well spent! Marco is a great teacher; he worked us hard, and threw us headlong into music theory, into the philosophy of performance, into self-reflection, and into practical musical exercises, all the while fostering a fun and supportive atmosphere. My fellow students and I are already badgering him for a follow-up course!”

Robert Widdicombe

"Patient, reassuring and kind Marco ensures he understands what you are trying to achieve and then everything is contextualised so YOU always understand the benefit of what you are studying and you know what and why you are embarking on a certain musical study path."

Cristian Perugino

"Really recommend this course to anyone in need of a boost and some tools to go deeper into the creative process and also generally spend time with genuine & like minded souls! Proof is in the pudding... I wrote 4 new & very different songs, have a ton of new musical tools to practice & explore & a lot of food for thought. A big thank you Marco!"

Isabelle Greenwood
