"When the idea came to me to undertake the study of conducting, I started watching videos on YouTube and during my research I was struck by a video by M° Ennio Nicotra.
In particular, the didactic approach to the lessons, the scrupulousness with which he made people understand to the student what was best at that point and the refinement in the gesture that made the whole musical phrasing understandable.
When he selected me for the course in Milan I was thrilled to learn and begin studying the technique of Ilya Musin..
During the first lesson I understood that I was in the right place, a stimulating and dynamic environment that with each lesson left me with food for thought which then turned into constant improvements during my journey which I still continue today.
Maestro Nicotra is a source of inspiration as well as a great teacher, in fact he encouraged me with his words to create a string orchestra which will have its first concerts in 2024.
My heartfelt thanks go to him for passing on his knowledge to me at every lesson about this conducting technique which involves every single musician in the musical performance of any piece.
This technique made me really understand what music is with the possibility of shaping it to create a picture full of emotions."
