Marco di Gennaro

Piano

Teaching Topics and Philosophy

Topics: Technique, harmony, and rhythm. Knowledge of the songs from the Great American Songbook. Taking care of all the aspects of jazz piano, piano solo, trio, accompanying singers and soloists. Learn to recognize sounds, transcribe and analyze solos from records of the great masters. I also teach singers who want to work with an experienced accompanist, focusing on issues connected to ensemble interaction and interpretation of melodies.

Philosophy: Integration between rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic dimensions in the act of making music. When we play, we sing and dance, sing through our hands, while dancing to be rhythmically connected.
