description: 10 years of experience teaching children. Classically trained pianist from the “Conservatorio Vincenzo Bellini” Catania, Italy, is available to teach piano to children. If a kid is interested in pop music other than classical, I can guide him/her to learn how to play his favorite pop song even by ear or with the partiture. As long as a child learns music that he/she loves, if they love to hear it, then they will love even more to play it!
