Statement about your relation with Yamaha or your instrument:
I felt comfortable with my Yamaha instruments right from the start, first of all because of how easy they are to play compared to others, but also for their consistency and focus.
How does your instrument help you in your daily life as an artist?
They help me especially in the orchestra, thanks to their much more accurate intonation and their tonal qualities, which blend beautifully with the other instruments.
Who was your most influential teacher and is there any advice which you still follow?
A challenging question, but I have to mention two: Gabriele Cassone and Immanuel Richter. They are incredible teachers and phenomenal musicians from whom I’ve had the chance to learn so much.
Advice for a young musician:
Don't just aim to be technically great trumpet players. Look beyond that, and aspire to be Musicians!
