My music teacher Mattia turns every single clarinet lesson into a total joy. I only started playing the clarinet about a year and a half ago with the NTO orchestra, when I realized how much I was enjoying it and how much more I wanted to learn. However, getting music lessons meant dealing with long waiting lists. But when I bought my very first clarinet, the seller recommended Mattia. With my busy schedule, I can only take lessons in the evening, so I was thrilled when Mattia made that work for me. The time just flies by during our lessons, and he gives me the exact exercises I need. It’s genuinely my personal treat of the week, and I always look forward to practicing at home. Finding Mattia as my music teacher was an absolute hit!"
