"I had the privilege of weekly private vocal lessons with Nino for the entirety of 2024.

It was an overwhelming successful experience for me. As a singer my vocal ability developed 10 fold. He gave the confidence to use my voice in ways I hadn’t before. He encouraged strong technique and correct placement of my voice whilst also emphasising the importance of play, improvisation and spontenaity.

The overall result was a sense of freedom and a greatly strengthened instrument. On top of that Nino’s a wonderful man and always created a safe and productive environment to work together in.

Highly reccomended."

MY MISSION

"I believe in the power of music and theatre to connect, heal, and inspire. My goal is to make these experiences accessible and transformative for performers and audiences alike."
