My Name is Luciano Cocco
About Me
Why did I chose to become a teacher?
I like teaching because sharing knowledge is the best way to create and to expand. Mixing experiences and music in something personal. I have been playing for almost 20 years, teaching for 10 of them. I specialised in Drums and piano. I've traveled, played and taught a lot in my life across Europe, USA, South Korea and Canada, meeting different people and cultures and I know how hard it can be starting something new or restarting from where you left off. That’s why I really like helping my students achieve their goals. Each student is a challenge and I like challenges. Using teaching and empathy to be confident with themselves first and then with their abilities, always with consciousness. To enjoy what they’re doing, their success and to let them learn from their mistakes. To encourage people in what they are creating and believe in themselves.
