MUSIKHANDE 

Born and raised in Italy I started playing the piano at the age of 8, it was love at first sight! Music has always meant a great deal to me and played a big role in my life. It has been such a rewarding experience to share it with others. 

 

I attended the Scuola di Musica Pietro Edo in Pordenone where I was mentored by Professor Paola Rodaro and then completed my studies at the Conservatory of Music ‘Jacopo Tomadini’ in Udine under the guide of Maestro Umberto Tracanelli graduating in Piano Performance.

 

Over the years I participated in piano competitions such as the Concorso Pianistico Citta’ di Albenga and the Concorso Pianistico di Desenzano del Garda and performed both in chamber music and as a soloist.

​

I am a firm believer that hard work repays the student with immense satisfaction.While talent is a gift not of our doing, a diligent and willing mind can master and achieve extraordinary results.

​

I have been teaching for 40 years and truly enjoy it. Music and children are the loves of my life. I love working with children and find the greatest satisfaction when I see that sparkle in their eye that tells me the magic of music has touched the heart.

​

Life has blessed me with 3 wonderful children of my own, two little granddaughters... and a lovely little dog. She is my teaching partner, welcoming every student and laying by our feet as we play.

Piano days are her favorite!
