ANDREA PICCIONI frame drum workshop

Andrea Piccioni is considered one of the greatest virtuosos on the frame drum. He studied with great teachers from Italy, Europe, Persia, Turkey, India and America. During this time he acquired his extraordinary ability to move in different musical genres and styles, and in doing so to develop the language of the tamburello and various other frame drums in his own unique way - masterfully and expressively.

He regularly teaches workshops and master classes at renowned festivals such as: Nafda (USA), Big Bang Festival (Dublin, Ireland), International Percussion Festival Freistadt (Freistadt, Austria), Tamburi Iran (Isfahan, Iran), Percpan 2009 (Brazil) and always comes as a teacher to the world's most important frame drum festival, Tamburi Mundi in Freiburg (Germany).

He is the author of the first textbook for Italian tamburello, "Il Tamburello Italiano", published in 2006 by the magazine Ritmi (formerly Percussioni). In 2009 he published, also under the title "Il Tamburello Italiano", the first teaching DVD entirely dedicated to tamburello.
