Music attracted me since the first years of life; I remember when, on the years '70, my parents brought me to the feasts of my country and I remained quite a lot time in front of the stage where the orchestras and the bands were exhibiting themselves. My first instrument were been the percussions. I discovered the double bass, frequenting the secondary music school and since then it has remained without doubt a fascinating instrument, to me a lot of darling.

 The double bass 

  " How do you make to transport it ?" 

This is the first question that sort always comes me. 

In effects, it is a not comfortable instrument, especially if it happens to bring it; I prefer to transport the sweet flute!

The double bass is a instrument with which different kinds of music can be performed.

The musical kind that I perform more often is that classical.

Classical music impassions me in particular way; some times it enters within me in very strong way, it creates in me emotions and it caresses my soul.

Some times it winds my soul and it involves it to the point that after having assisted to a concert I feel me more tired than if I had played.

Double bass is a instrument able to change itself according to what it asks for the musical song.

It can be rhythmic as a percussion instrument and, thanks to its enormous extension, it succeeds in reaching bass and deep sounds, as to of the acute ones and to of the alike harmonic sounds to the sound of a flute. Very important it is for me the way of "singing"of the double bass, that can certainly be compared to that of any tool to arc, what, for instance, the violin. Either can also harmonize it as if it were a leg viola. Double bass is surely a instrument that offers so many possibilities of execution.

Currently I am frequenting the seventh year of the secondary music school. The steps for the attainment of the final diploma are two: The examination of 5° course, that I sustained already different years ago, and the 7° course examination, that I think to complete in June of 2004.

During these years I have sustained the examinations of theory, solfeggio and complementary harmony. I am frequenting the 2° year of the course of History of the music, whose examination is anticipated for June 2004 "... Always that everything goes for the correct verse and without obstacles... ". Some times sound together with the orchestra of the school of music, where I make  practice of ensemble music of and I perform me in some public concert.

I have played with groups of friends in formations of chamber music, quartets, in duet with piano. I have worked for different years also with the musical Band "TheMagiostrina."

Naturally I have played and I will still play with Andrea, my dear friend, that is a good drummer and a good flutist. Andrea has a precise and incisive touch that perfectly integrates him with the contrabbasso into jazz music.
