Bass Faculty Director at the UNIVERSITA' DELLA MUSICA in Rome. Since 2003 I am in charge of the curriculum of the most prestigious private school in Italy. Check out the general philosophy of the curriculum and if you are interested please check the UM Bass Faculty Page (online soon). I do some tutoring for the 3 year specialization course, some bass related monographies and my Bass History Master Class. In 2005 I also took the position of Director of Institutional Advancement, which means that a board exists to propose, discuss and plan all possible changes and developments inside the school. Bass Assistant at the UMBRIA JAZZ Clinics of the Berklee College of Music. Since 1993 I have assisted many Berklee teachers like: Bruce Gertz, Dave Clark, Bruno Raberg and Oscar Stagnaro. It has been an honor and lots of hard work! Berklee Alumni Representative for Italy. Since 1995 I dedicated all the available time to prospective students, giving information regarding college life in Boston and at Berklee. Being present at Umbria Jazz has given me the chance to follow the changes in the college and talk to all the teachers and college representatives. Alumni meetings and educational updates are in planning for the next future.
