After extensive music studies in Italy, I travelled to Berne in Switzerland, where I was awarded the Solisten Diploma in Oboe at the Konservatorium für Musik und Theater. This was the beginning of a successful international career, playing at many of the world's premier venues and making numerous radio, television and CD appearances.
It was as a student that I first encountered The Alexander Technique. I found it of immense benefit: it solved intractable difficulties I'd experienced with my playing, and substantially enhanced my ability to perform. But perhaps the greatest - and most unexpected - benefit was the way it changed my whole mental outlook for the better.
I was so impressed with the positive force for change that The Technique elicited, that I decided to train in London for three years with probably the foremost practitioner of The Alexander Technique, Walter Carrington, and his wife Dilys. Walter Carrington trained with F.M. Alexander from 1936-39, was his long-term assistant, and continued to develop and teach The Technique after Alexander's death.
Recently, it has been my great pleasure and privilege to publish "Imparando a Dire No": a translation into the Italian of an anthology of Walter Carrington's informal lectures, taken from his highly-regarded works "Thinking Aloud" and "The Act of Living". All three books are published by Mornum Time Press.
My practice is at the Constructive Teaching Centre, situated for over half a century in the heart of W11, making it the longest-established institution of its kind in the world. Located just a three or four minute walk from Holland Park tube, I would very much like to welcome you there for your free introductory lesson.
