“Well when it comes to saying something about Marco, I'm truly lost for words, no language can express the gratitude I feel for having his as a mentor/friend in the Artist Development course.
Long story short - if you're an Artist, aspiring to reach higher, Please don't think twice, just do the course with Marco - give this gift to yourself - you deserve this!

When I met Marco - I was pretty much lost. I knew what I could do but had no specific direction, I didn't own my art. Marco genuinely teaches you how to depend on you for creating, not others.

One of the greatest gift as a teacher is having patience, even when I made so many mistakes on guitar, and my improvement was like speed of a snail, Marco was always supportive and welcomed making mistakes because that's how you learn!

He always makes sure that YOU shine through in your art. If you ever ask him a question - he's give such a precise and focussed answer that it'll clear all your doubts like water! At the same time he'll introduce you to concepts that if you explored, you'll gain depth in your art and really own it!

When working on songwriting, he has endless ideas on what to do next with your song, at the same time he encourages you to do what you feel is right!

I can't thank Marco enough for his contribution and generosity. I can go on and on but you get the point!

Your future self will thank you for taking up Marco as your Mentor!

All the best
Love

“Marco has been more than just a music tutor for me he was also a mentor. His teaching has a large emphasis on what makes you special as an individual and there is less focus on how to gain mainstream success in the music industry, which I believe is what actually leads to timeless art.

While doing the artist development course music was taught more philosophically and allowed me and my peers to think outside the box in our approach to our craft, Marco gave us the freedom to express any issues we were having and always responded compassionately, always encouraging us to channel what we were feeling into our music.

Marco’s support is something I’ll forever be grateful for, so for any lost artists looking for some direction I couldn’t recommend Marco as a tutor enough. When I first started the course my main goal was to increase my confidence and within the first few months I was already performing in front of live audiences and sharing my music, which is way more than I could’ve ever expected to achieve in that short space of time.”

“Marco is one of the most genuine, caring and attentive teachers you could have the pleasure to work WITH. He is passionate, thoughtful and deliberate”

Connie Campsie

”Marco, without a doubt, is a master of his craft and learning from him will provide you with the tools to become one, also. His years of experience shine through in his music and lessons. Around him, you will know that you are in the presence of an expert and true artist.

His attention to detail and understanding of music technicality is high calibre. Sometimes music theory can seem like a foreign language but Marco has a special ability to translate the intricacies into something suitable for all levels- from beginner to very advanced. I believe that is rare. He is determined to explain things in a way that makes sense to the individual, approaching them from a place of kindness and patience.

In terms of artist development, with his supportive guidance, I truly learned so much about who I was and how I came to be and an action plan going forward. He also has many insights into the industry, which is incredibly useful.

It’s important to be around positive, caring and non judgemental people when going through self-discoveries and development. Marco is all of the above and more. His genuine validation and reassurance of the way I perceive the world whilst navigating how to express it through art, continues to help me tremendously. He encouraged me in so many ways and I was able to tap into dormant parts of myself, learning to awaken them and put them to use. By having the ability to do that, I’ve been able to create some of the best, most authentic music of my life.

However, you decide to approach lessons with Marco, whether it be philosophically, spiritually or technically. Just know that you are in extremely safe and skilled hands. I cannot thank him enough for all that he has taught me. His personal passion and love for music is inspiring in itself. There are not many like Marco, don’t miss out on learning from him!!”
