Domenico de Cesare
Domenico de Cesare is an Italian multi-instrumentalist and audio-visual composer based in Adelaide. He has studied music in Italy, Estonia and Turkey. He has a PhD in Musicology from the University of Salento, Lecce (Italy), has an M. A. in Music Technology from the Conservatorio Tito Schipa, Lecce (Italy) and a B. C. in Audiovisual Composition from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theater, Tallinn (Estonia).
He is primarily a guitar and bass guitar player (over 25 years) and has played didgeridoo and percussion for over 10 years. He has conducted rock bands, percussion bands and word music ensembles, thanks also to his versatility with electronics, flutes and saxophone. His rich musical background and experiences include composing and playing in various European projects that included experimental music, rock, funk, folk, ethno, hip hop and electronic. He has worked as a sound technician for bands and as a sound editor for movies with knowledge of software for the audio recording and editing.
Domenico has taught music in Italian public schools and tutored adults and children as young as 5 years old Through his multi-cultural experiences and music passion he has developed successful teaching methods, based on the exchange of experiences between student and teacher. His main goal as a teacher is to instill motivation and passion in students for musical techniques and knowledge, because – he says – “one life is not enough to learn everything you need to know about music, but you can enjoy the ride, listening and practising…and practising a bit more … for while you are doing that, you are learning”.
He loves Music and its infinite ways and is aware that every student brings to lessons a different culture, history, attitude, taste, style and goals, which adds to the dynamics of learning and teaching. Every lesson is different, as each student is different. This is the starting point for lessons that must also be fun and friendly to ensure student engagement in the learning process.
