Daniele Nerstini's Profile

Background:

I grew up near Florence where I obtained a Clarinet diploma at the Conservatorio Cherubini. At the same time, I was studying piano and composition although because of a serious family bereavement my studying path was interrupted. It was only after many years that I began again to seriously study piano and achieved a Piano diploma at the ABRSM of the UK. I've given piano lessons for many years, primarily at home and recently in a local private school although the pay rate was so low that I had to cease because of costs. Anytime I had a good pupil I encouraged him or her to take ABRSM exams as a way to improve their abilities and have fun making something good for themselves. Any pupil I presented at the ABRSM exams passed with very high scores, sometimes near the maximum. When I'm teaching, I always try to understand the need and skills of the pupil to deliver him/her the most useful information the pupil is able to learn. If the pupil is not very skilled or smart I teach only basic information that he/she can understand but if the pupil is very skilled and smart I like very much entering in difficult technical details that I'm usually very good to explain in very simple terms.
