Meet Francesca
A Maestro's Touch
From the hallowed music conservatories of Reggio Emilia, where she graduated with highest honours, Francesca Cavallaro brings the soul of a European virtuoso to our school. Matured at the feet of some of the greatest maestros of the XX Century, her touch at the piano is a conversation of grace and precision, a legacy of masterful performance.
Yet, a true artist knows that the greatest masterpiece is not a solo, but the harmony awakened in others.
With the heart of a nurturer and the insight of a mentor, Francesca dedicates her gift to cultivating the next generation. She seamlessly blends the rigorous standards of a classical training with a joyful, encouraging spirit, guiding students from their first notes to confident performances.
She inspires confidence at every step, orchestrates growth, and instills a lifelong love for music's beautiful language. In Francesca, the deep tradition of European artistry meets a passionate faith in every child's potential.
Welcome a performer who knows the stage, and a teacher who knows the heart. Welcome to the Virtuoso’s Nest.
Hear It From Our Students
As a jazz pianist desperate to learn Rachmaninov, Frenci taught me how to rethink & reimagine practice. Creatively understated with a depth of knowledge rarely seen in most teachers. Wish I’d known her years before...

Francesca is an amazing teacher! She is always kind and encouraging, but also pushes me to do my best. I love learning piano with her and think she’s the best teacher ever!

All three of my kids have learned piano with Francesca and absolutely loved it. She makes lessons fun, encouraging, and tailored to each child. I’m so grateful for the skills and confidence they’ve gained through her teaching.
