- First lesson -
The first lesson is normally used to understand what the student wants. Understanding the needs, expectations and passion of the student is a priority. The student will be given access to a shared remote folder containing audio files, scores, videos and links. Rocco`s approach is to find the most enjoyable approach to learning and that normally happens through a repertoire the student can relate to. The technical difficulties of the instrument are tackled through music rather than boring technical exercises.

It`s miraculous what you can learn in just one single hour with Rocco, walking away with not just a feeling of strength and skill in my playing, but also a sense of greater confidence, as well as a skip in my step.
