His intellect, musical maturity, deep insight and quality of interpretation make him familiar with playing the violin and regretfully convey the characteristics and particular style of the music to the listener. Let's inherit all of the violin from the music seeker!
Francesco Parrino, a world-renowned violinist from Italy, started playing the violin at a young age, and his musical talents quickly blossomed thanks to the Italians' passion and dedication. His talents were so great that world-renowned guitarist Alirio Dias called him "Italy's bright future" and encouraged him to pursue a career in music. Pursuing his mastery of the violin, he graduated from the prestigious Milan Conservatory "G. Verdi", then went to the Netherlands to earn a degree at the Utrecht Conservatory, and in the UK, he earned a master's degree at the Royal Academy of Music, and even a doctorate in philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, focusing on the composer Alfredo Casella. His musicality, which combines passionate expression and absolute respect for musical scores, is widely supported by audiences and critics, but David Takeno and Ifrah Neiman, who have had the greatest influence on his music, also "highly praise his qualities." He has won many awards, including first place at the Stresa International Competition, and has performed as a soloist and chamber musician in major theaters and concert halls around the world, mainly in Europe, and released many CDs, including world premiere recordings. If you are interested in his musicality, you may want to listen to his CDs, which are also available in Japan. He is also a founding member of the Trio Albatross Ensemble, and after serving as a professor at the Conservatory of Music of Como, Italy, he is currently a professor at the Conservatory of Music of Alessandria, Italy, where he teaches his students as a professor at the Conservatory of Music of Antonio Vivaldi. He is also devoted to research in musicology. He has contributed papers to Cambridge University and the American Musicological Society, and also writes articles for periodical publications as a music critic. He is fully sharing his incredible knowledge with his students, so take this opportunity to inherit it all! His instruments include Gaetano Gadda (c. 1) and Giuseppe & Antonio Gagliano (c. 1930-1790).

If you haven't taken lessons yet, you can listen to them. There is so much you can learn by not only playing for yourself, but also watching other people's lessons. In fact, many students in Europe study through listening. It is also an opportunity to listen to the performances of many other people, and through the lessons of various people, you will be able to better understand the teaching method and personality of the teacher. Musical instruments other than the violin can also enjoy the atmosphere of overseas classes, so please feel free to join us. The teaching method of overseas professors is completely different from that of Japan. In particular, the main focus is to "enjoy and express music more", so the points to teach vary from student to student. Isn't it a big point for those who are aiming to study abroad or become a professional in the future to feel how the points of teaching are different from those in Japan?Even if you are not satisfied with Japan, it will be an opportunity to think about studying abroad.
If you are thinking of studying in Italy or other countries in Europe, you can try studying abroad while you are in Japan.Consider the possibility of studying abroad in Europe.
It's a great chance to meet an overseas teacher while you are in Japan!
Just thinking does not open the door to your dreams. There is only action. Don't miss this opportunity!
