About Francesco
As a passionate classical guitarist and experienced teacher, I have been teaching guitar for over 20 years, with a particular focus on Classical and Romantic music. I hold a Master's degree in Performance from Maastricht, a Master's degree in Pedagogy from ZHdK in Zurich, and a PhD in Musicology from the University of Surrey (UK). This extensive training has allowed me to develop a solid pedagogical approach, combining academic rigor with a deep passion for teaching.
My love for music drives me to share knowledge and emotion with my students. I take great pleasure in guiding them through their musical journey and watching them grow. After living in Zurich for 10 years, I moved to Lausanne at the end of 2023 following the birth of my daughter. This transition has enriched my teaching approach and opened up new cultural horizons.
I am also passionate about building a community of students who can support each other, exchange ideas about music, and—if they wish—play together. In my view, ensemble playing is essential for any musician's development, as it fosters active listening, cooperation, and collective expression.
My teaching approach is centered on attentive listening and a methodology tailored to each student’s specific needs. I firmly believe that every student has unique potential, and my role is to support them in reaching it. With my extensive experience, I guide my students with patience, enthusiasm, and professionalism.

About My Courses
As a classical guitarist with a deep passion for Romantic music, I offer lessons for all levels, from beginners to advanced musicians. My teaching approach is highly personalized, tailored to each student's specific needs. With a Master’s degree in Education and a PhD in Musicology, I provide structured yet flexible lessons, blending classical techniques with modern pedagogical concepts.
Teaching Methods and Techniques
I emphasize a progressive approach, adapting technical exercises to each student's musical development. Initial lessons focus on the fundamentals of classical guitar—proper hand positioning, sight-reading, and basic techniques—while incorporating pieces suited to their level. As students progress, we explore more complex works, including Romantic repertoire and compositions from the Classical era.
My teaching style is interactive and student-centered, encouraging active listening and emotional expression in musical performance. I also integrate elements of music theory to deepen students’ understanding beyond just playing the instrument.
Typical Lesson Structure
Each lesson begins with a technical warm-up, followed by the study of one or two pieces. We then work on specific areas for improvement, whether in technique, interpretation, or theory. The session concludes with a progress review and personalized practice tips for effective study at home.
Who Are My Lessons For?
My lessons are open to all students, from beginners to those looking to refine their skills in the Romantic repertoire. They are also ideal for musicians interested in ensemble playing and group performance. Lessons can be conducted in French, English, Italian, or German, depending on the student’s preference.

Francesco è il migliore! Preparatissimo e appassionato non potrà fare altro che appassionarvi alla musica a 360 gradi.
J'ai eu le plaisir de suivre des cours de guitare avec Francesco pendant plusieurs mois. En tant que professeur de guitare classique, il se distingue par sa grande compétence et sa passion pour la musique. Grâce à ses méthodes pédagogiques claires et adaptées à mon niveau, j'ai pu progresser rapidement, en particulier dans l'interprétation de pièces complexes. Francesco sait rendre la musique accessible tout en maintenant un haut niveau d'exigence. Je le recommande vivement à toute personne cherchant à améliorer sa technique et sa compréhension de la guitare classique.
Francesco est le professeur de guitare de mon fils depuis quelques mois, et j’ai pu constater d’importants progrès. Il adapte son enseignement aux besoins et au rythme de chaque élève, et sa patience et sa bienveillance créent un environnement d’apprentissage très positif. Mon fils adore ses leçons et a gagné en confiance, tout en apprenant des morceaux qu’il apprécie vraiment. Si vous cherchez un professeur compétent, engagé et bienveillant, je recommande vivement Francesco !
