In order to be successful it is essential that the student is aware of what type of sound he or she is after by listening to as much music as possible. Listening to the great masters will make the concept of sound less abstract.
The sound of a musical instrument is the soul of that instrument which reflects our own soul.To miss or give little importance to this aspect is to loose transcendental connection with music and oneself.
Lessons are focused on sound production, posture, technical development, improvisation (according to student's ability).

Martino has delivered performances in venues such as Southbank Centre and Teatro Regio of Torino. Appeared as a soloist with the CostaRican Symphony orchestra and alongside Peter Erskine and Catrin Finch.
