realized that Monica Benvenuti was
teaching at ISTITUTO EUROPEO. Basically yes, Monica made me decide to come to ISTITUTO
EUROPEO. I have a friend who studied at ISTITUTO EUROPEO with Monica Benvenuti
and for this reason I knew that she is a great teacher…
5)

Here you have teachers that teach only one subject,
they are specialized in one subject…and this is good…because you can
concentrate solely on one subject at one
time

upward social mobility?
I studied Music for Art’s sake…as a cultural heritage
left to us…

ISTITUTO EUROPEO?
I am going back to Australia. I want to expose myself
to competitions to get more experience and continue to study Music in the
Conservatorio in Florence
12) Have you any kind of suggestions to give to a young
man who decides to start studying Music?
I
think when you start taking lessons is a sort of like getting a job…you have to
take your study seriously like a job
