About Federica
My name is Federica Gatti, I am an enthusiast italian violinist. I am a full-time postgraduate student at Guildhall School of Music and Drama where I am currently attending the second year. I also hold an old-system degree in performance from the Verdi Conservatory of Music in Milan.I have five year teaching experience with both children from 6 to 18 years old and adults. I prepared students for concerts, ABRSM exams, youth competition, conservatoire`s admissions exams. I organized violin and string ensambles during the academic years within my students, on the basis of different skills levels and age, arranging the pieces.
I consider interacting with students to establish a relationship of trust of primary importance. I believe this is the best approach to stimulate creativity, keep them interested in music, create a joyful environment, encourage and guide every student to grow and express him/herself as individuals in a non-judging context. At the same time, in the years I taught in Italy, I had the opportunity to reflect and acknowledge the fulfilment a teacher could receive by the simplicity and appreciation of the students.
These are the reasons why I am highly passionate about teaching.

I approach the study of the instrument with games and songs to learn by heart (Suzuki Books). As soon as the students reach confidence and stability of posture, I progress to combining playing by heart with music reading (generally with Hugh and Kathreine College Method).
During the past academic years, I organized violin ensembles within my students, both small groups such as duos and trios and full class ensemble. I formed ensembles on the basis of different levels and arranged pieces for specific types of ensembles and levels. I truly believe it is essential to combine individual and group lessons to develop listening skills immediately, to learn music as a good example of social interactions, feel an important part of the group and at the same time support each other to create something unique.
I always set myself goals to adapt to each student and decide which learning method enable them to learn at their best, because I believe every student is different and different ways of learning. I have gained experienced in teaching with different violin books (Fortunatov, Dezair, Sheila Nelson, Suzuki) and I keep updated with the new releases
I organized frequent class performances, I think it is fundamental to teach performance skills, not only because it`s an essential part of the process of studying music but also because I believe performing is as extraordinary experience of exchanging emotions between the musicians and the public. I strongly believe that music gives children the opportunity to express their emotions and their creativity and enrich the development of a child, in terms of responsibility, perseverance, constancy and patience.
I am a passionate, creative and open musician, I am currently mastering Classical Improvisation with the acclaimed pianist and improviser David Dolan at Guildhall School of Music. I would implement my lessons with improvisation games.
I consider the role of the parent essential as a support, motivating the child and keeping track of the practice time and homeworks. I previously used a weekly table for the students to fill, that gave excellent results in terms of organizing practice times
