TESTIMONIALS

Anna Linden

Guildford, Uk

“Sergio is a fantastic teacher and has helped me from the very beginning of my gurdy journey. He provides pieces that allow me to build different techniques and styles and welcomes pieces I bring to him. His lessons are always adapted to where I’m aiming to go with the instrument and he is also very knowledgeable about historical notation and is amazing at breaking down challenging pieces to make them easier to understand.”


Danni Hindi

Melbourne, Australia

Sergio makes every lesson fun! He consistently challenges me to push myself and improve my skills in a supportive and encouraging way. With his guidance, I was able to play my first song after only two lessons. Sergio has a real gift for teaching, and his passion for the instrument and music is clear to anyone who meets him. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a skillful, kind, patient and inspiring teacher, and I can’t wait to see how my journey with the hurdy-gurdy progresses!


Grant Dotter

Maine, USA

“For better or worse, without Sergio I wouldn’t have a playable instrument, and I probably would never have started down this path. His knowledge of music theory as well as history is from my point of view excellent, and his patience is legendary. I also like his style and approach. I would probably find anyone else too intimidating, but Sergio figured out quickly how to reach me.


Adriana Simone

Seattle, USA

“Sergio has not only taught me how to play the hurdy gurdy, but he’s made me a better overall musician. He’s encouraged me and helped me follow my musical interests, his lessons are fun!”
