What his students say

I first met Vincenzo when he was taking 30 people through a beginners’ harmonica session on Hampstead Heath. I was very impressed by the way he managed the session and got everyone playing a tune by the end of it. That day I decided I wanted him to be my chromatic harmonica tutor. I’ve been with him two years. He is easy to get on with and I’ve certainly made good progress. Vincenzo is also a great online harmonica teacher. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to play the harmonica.

I started to teach myself the chromatic harmonica about 17 years ago by listening to Larry Adler and trying to copy him, which was a painstaking process. Having worked in isolation with limited success, I stopped playing completely. In late 2014, after a ten-year break, I decided to try again, but this time to learn properly, and I was lucky enough to find Vincenzo. Over the last couple of years my playing has gone from strength to strength. He is an excellent teacher, very student-centred, always extremely friendly and highly knowledgeable. Under his guidance my technical ability, musicality, understanding of theory and repertoire in a number of styles have improved immeasurably, as has my confidence. I can now play with other musicians, which is extremely rewarding. I thoroughly recommend Vincenzo to players of all levels of ability and ambition.

What a joy to have Vincenzo as my harmonica teacher. Clear and quality teaching! I have known him for many years now. I have been taking harmonica lessons with him in London and now online. Highly recommended.

Vincenzo was a true gift to me, very knowledgeable and talented. You immediately know that you are in the right hands. I think one of the best things about learning with Vincenzo is that you can play music practically from the first lesson, whatever your level or ability!

I met Vincenzo two weeks ago. At the beginning of our first lesson I asked him to tell me his story, and he did: we spoke for half an hour before the one-hour lesson even started. He is very kind, friendly and professional at the same time, with lots of energy and a sunny attitude. One of the best people I have met since I came to London.

When I began online harmonica classes with Vincenzo I started to feel the harmony and the beauty of music. Vincenzo is a great teacher, very professional and a close friend, and I hope to keep improving and to play in concerts one day.

Once I started playing La Vie en Rose at a friend’s house and everybody loved it! I have had more experiences like this, such as playing the harmonica in a hospital during my volunteer sessions as a clown. All this thanks to the classes I took with Vincenzo. His rigorous attitude and talent lead you to love and respect that little instrument. I was very lucky to find such a master, and I definitely want to keep learning with him!

Vincenzo was a discovery for me. He loves to teach, he has infinite patience and he adapts his classes to the student’s preferences. He is always positive and smiling. You will be playing from the first day, and you will practise with him over and over again until it comes out. If you want to play the harmonica, enjoy the process and move up to the next level, this is the place.

I had an amazing experience with Vincenzo’s one-to-one harmonica lessons online. His personalised approach truly lifted my learning. With his guidance I quickly progressed and gained confidence. The convenience of online lessons let me learn from home while still getting dedicated attention. His passion for teaching shines through in every lesson. Highly recommended!

I can’t say enough how grateful I am to Vincenzo. Despite the physical distance, the personal instruction and attention to detail were never compromised. His ability to explain things over video made every lesson valuable and enjoyable, and online lessons fitted into my busy schedule without any loss of quality.

I am extremely satisfied with Vincenzo’s personalised online harmonica tutoring. His tailored approach suited my specific needs and goals and let me progress at my own pace. The one-to-one video sessions were a comfortable and supportive place to learn.
