About Me:
Florence is a center for symphonic and ensemble music performance, opera, theatre, jazz, composition, film scoring, music business, and music technology.
As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, home to innumerable art and architectural landmarks and as a living music center, Florence provides a unique setting in which to study, experience and perform music. Through lectures, individual lessons, ensembles, open rehearsals, guest talks, masterclasses, recording sessions and live performances, the NYU in Florence Music Program opens a global perspective on music studies as a key ingredient in the education and preparation for the professional world. Semester-long program with full music curricula offered at NYU in FLORENCE every Spring.

I'm surprised, most students I speak to at NYU think Italy would be great, but they're worried they will miss out on all of the faculty and opportunities New York has. My time in Italy exposed me to different influences that I could not have gotten in New York though, and I generally felt there was a higher standard of teaching and expectations in Florence. It is an experience I will treasure forever but continues to live with me in each day moving forward. Grazie mille Antonio.

I had more opportunities to play on a grand stage, all around Italy, than in New York. I was given personal attention as a musician and student. While playing all over the country, I found the Italians had such an appreciation for the music I played with my group and our heritage as American jazz musicians, bringing our culture overseas, while we were also able to absorb much of the Italian culture into our own. Every teacher was hand-picked to meet the highest standards of music education, and the integration across the music program, between theater, jazz, opera, classical, and composition majors was unparalleled.

As time passes, I realize more and more how great my semester in Florence was. The music aspect was obviously incredible but living in Florence, absorbing the Italian culture, traveling around Europe, meeting locals...it was all really incredible. Grazie mille Antonio per tuo lavoro e aiuto!
