About Claudio
Born into a musicians family, I was accustomed as a child to attend choral and orchestral rehearsals or concerts. Of all the instruments in the orchestra, the bassoon, is certainly one of the most distinctive and I remember very well how I was fascinated by its shape and color. Turning 9 years old, I began the study of the bassoon at the music academy in my hometown.
The first achievements were a small regional competition and a solo concert with the school orchestra, but my artistic path changed radically with the acquaintance of my mentor Patrick de Ritis, whom I followed first in Rome and later in Vienna. Two years, in Austria, full of very important experiences for my musical and personal growth: I had my first professional teaching experience there, teaching bassoon at the Schubert Konservatorium in Vienna!
Now I am in Riga, the capital of the Baltic countries, where from the beginning of 2022 I hold the position of Principal Bassoon - Section Leader at the orchestra of the Latvian National Opera and Ballet!

I think that every meeting is a mutual exchange between student and teacher: therefore I expect to share, without any reserve, my own way of approaching the bassoon practice and compare it with that of the person in front of me, with the hope of learning something in turn and enriching my personal background. The best teaching method is for me to create a solid friendship with the student, indulging his or her desires and needs.
I have always complemented the repertoire with a focused practice of technique, which I consider a fundamental and indispensable basis for obtaining a good mastery of the instrument. I therefore like the idea of starting each session with technical exercises, each time different, and designed for each aspect of the bassoon.
Once I approach the piece I intend to play, I bring to my attention all the difficult passages and experiment with new ways to study them: modifying them and trying each time to understand why they are so complicated to perform.
During the meetings, I would also like to address the construction and processing of the reed: as we all know, the reed can change as much as 80 percent of a performance, and it is therefore crucial to learn the mechanics from the very beginning and, especially, to try not to be succubus to it... it's just a piece of cane! :)
Usually the final phase of my study is focused on orchestral excepts, a fundamental link for every bassoonist. I generally combine melodic excerpts with more technical ones, trying to know the piece I am studying perfectly and emphasizing what the future jury will expect to hear from that particular passage.

Perfect! Da pochi giorni ho ultimato con Claudio il primo anno di Fagotto con lui. Cominciammo il 30 Dicembre 2022.
Ho 65 anni, quindi mi sono buttato in base al detto “ non è mai troppo tardi “. Claudio ha tramutato in realtà questa frase, inserendomi gradualmente, con impegno, costanza, allegria, entusiasmo nel mondo di questo fantastico strumento. Certamente ho dato il massimo, ma lui ha sagomato questo impegno nel modo più fruttuoso per me: è stato attento a valorizzarmi quando facevo bene, e molto, molto paziente nel correggere errori o brutte abitudini, o nel ricordarmi continuamente le cose giuste da fare.
Per me si è trattato di un grande valore aggiunto.
Claudio è giovanissimo e lo consiglio senza riserve: nonostante sia già un valente concertista e orchestrale professionista, sa mettere l’ allievo a proprio agio, in poche parole “ lo sa seguire “.
Le sue tariffe, inoltre , sono molto convenienti, nonostante la qualità elevata delle lezioni; così, attraverso la conoscenza diretta mi sono reso conto che Claudio ha anche l’ obiettivo di dare un personale contributo per diffondere la conoscenza di questo strumento.
Manifesto nei suoi riguardi grande stima, apprezzamento e gratitudineView more reviews

I met Claudio during our studies in Vienna and was surprised by his passion and perseverance. I'm sure you will find in him a patient and competent teacher!

Molto professionale e disponibile! Ottimo musicista in grado perfettamente di adattare la lezione alle necessità degli allievi permettendo un ampio margine di miglioramento!
Super consigliato!
Nonostante la giovane età, Claudio ha affrontato esperienze artistiche e didattiche di grande livello! Non posso dunque far altro che consigliare caldamente una lezione di prova con lui
Claudio is a meticulous and hard working teacher, I first met him at a concert of the Latvian National Opera and Ballet (where he works as the Principal Bassoon). He taught me the basics of bassoon with patience and enthusiasm; from the first lesson he created a friendly and professional environment and he made me fall in love with this not so common instrument.
