Personal Statement/Bio:

Fabio Nani (also known as Ramesha) was six years old when he started classical guitar lessons at the Scuola di musica Colombo in Lugano, Switzerland. He began studying the violin in middle school, receiving his Diploma in violin performance from the Music Conservatory in Como, Italy.

After becoming disillusioned with music performance as a career, he turned to teaching music in middle school, quickly discovering that he had a gift for relating to students and opening their eyes to the wonders of sound.

During this time he started singing with rock bands. However, he felt the need to increase the range and flexibility of his voice; and so he began taking singing lessons from renowned Swiss-Italian soprano, Giovanna Zaugg-Casella. In the seven years that he worked with Madame Zaugg-Casella, Fabio discovered a versatile tenor voice that he can apply to many different musical styles, as well as a thorough knowledge of how the voice works.

Fabio currently lives in a beautiful community located in the
foothills of the Sierra Nevada near Nevada City, CA. In addition to teaching voice, he still plays violin and guitar as part of his music ministry with his wife, Sharon (Bhagavati) Nani. He's also a member of the NAMTA, the North Aamerican Music Teachers Association.

Conservatory of Music in Milan, Italy
Studied with the soprano Giovanna Zaugg-Casella

Teaching Philosophy:

This is a new approach to private singing lessons. Now you can have singing lessons on the computer without having to drive anywhere to see your voice teacher. Using skype, a good quality microphone, and a webcam you can now have online singing lessons from a professional teacher who will guide you with the same personal dedication and support as with in-person lessons.

I’ve been teaching private voice lessons via skype for over a year, and I can say without any doubt that my students experience the same level of support and personal relationship with me as they would if we were in the same room.
