Piano diploma obtained on September 19th 1989 at the Conservatorio di Musica F. A. Bonporti of Trento, in Italy. Since 1990 working as a private piano teacher with external collaborations as piano accompanist for exhibitions and examinations of pupils of the class of Prof. Fulvio Hrvatich, violin teacher in the Conservatorio di Musica Giuseppe Tartini of Trieste. Since October 2002 part time collaboration as peripatetic teacher of harmony for the Accademia musicale “Ars Nova” in Trieste.

Having started my piano studies with Prof. Buzzai at the age of four, I lived a very successful musical childhood, earning many prizes and awards. During teen-age family problems let me dedicate myself just to the fulfilment of my career, letting aside competitions and exhibitions. At about 16 I started being attracted by composition and wrote my very first pieces. On September 19th 1989 I eventually finished my piano career, obtaining the piano diploma as external at Bonporti Conservatory in Trento, Italy. Meanwhile I started again to take part to competitions with some success, especially in two pianos or four hands duo, thing that moved me toward chamber music. Since 1990 I have been dedicating myself to private teaching and since 1992 I have been collaborating with prof. Hrvatic’s violin pupils as accompanist at the piano to examinations and exhibitions at the Tartini Conservatory in Trieste. For some years I tried to create some chamber music ensemble, but unfortunately my attempts proved unsuccessful since the poor occasions offered by Italian music environment moved all my partners toward different professional careers. The rest of ‘90s had been rather quiescent and dominated by depression, with many diseases and deaths among relatives and parents. All through these years I dedicated myself mainly to private teaching, integrating my income with different occasional activities, mainly music or computer related. In fact during these years I learnt a lot about computers and got fascinated by the chances they offer, especially in the artistic field. Eventually emerging from my spleen with new millennium and stimulated by travels, new contacts and a happy marriage, my composing vein started burning again, and I am now quite prolific. In 2001 and recently this year I took part as composer to the Festival Kugy, in Trieste, I saw two sacred hymns of mine, written for the 4th Diocesan Eucharistic Congress, published by Perugia’s “Istituto Musicale Girolamo Frescobaldi”, and I am participating to many competitions, playing my chances in order to start a nowadays hard (especially in Italy) music career as a composer.

Started learning North Indian classical vocal from a very tender age. Before I was introduced to vocals my training by learning the art of playing Tabla from Pandit Shankar Ghosh. Thereafter, my rigorous training began under the able tutelage of Ustad Munawar Ali Khan (son of the legendary Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan). Later I was taught by Ustad Raza Ali Khan.

I have been performing for the last 15 years and teaching serious students of this genre of music is something I love.

Apart from the usual classical fare which include genres like 'khayal','thumri','ghazal',and 'bhajan', I am also comfortable in certain folk based melodies of northern India. Sufi music as practised in northern India is another favourite. `

Apart from numerous shows both within the country and abroad I have also published some music.
