Francesco has a wide experience teaching at all levels, from beginners to advanced young players and adult aficionados. His first appointment as guitar tutor was with the University College of Ripon & York St John where he worked with undergraduate guitarists on a 4 year combined degree/QTS Music course. Following that he taught at the Oxfordshire Music Service for 4 years alongside Gilbert Biberian and Gordon Dunn and enhanced his understanding of teaching young children and their musical and technical development. He subsequently studied privately with Richard Wright of the Yehudi Menuhin School which further influenced his teaching approach. Since moving to London Francesco has built up a busy teaching practice at the Purcell School for Young Musicians; the oldest specialist music school in the UK, Dulwich College; one of the oldest of the UK's public schools and the Harrow Music Service which provides music education to 1000's of children in the London Borough of Harrow. He has also given seminars at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire on developing young players and contemporary guitar repertoire, directed the advanced guitar course at Hertfordshire Music Service, been a guest teacher for Berkshire Maestros and conducted the Guitar Orchestra and given performance classes at the Royal Greenwich Guitar Festival.
Francesco's students have successfully auditioned to the Purcell School, the National Youth Guitar Ensemble, Trinity Laban Conservatoire, Royal College of Music, Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Royal Northern College of Music, Royal Academy of Music, The Cleveland Institute (USA), The Peabody Institute (USA) and the San Francisco Conservatory (USA). In 2016 his pupil, 14 yr old Billy Watman was runner up in the Sky Arts Guitar Star competition with a panel of judges including Milos Karadaglic, George Benson and Tony Visconti. In 2017 three of his students were selected to play for Leo Brouwer's masterclass at the Bolivar Hall. In 2018 the Purcell School guitar duo of Billy Watman & Petar Jovanavich were invited to perform at the Royal College of Music Guitar Festival.
