I\u2019ve mainly played jazz, but also many other genres, performing throughout Italy and across Europe with various ensembles. I\u2019ve taken part in the recording of around thirty albums, five of which under my own name. One of my <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/3lCWvMFp2UY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pieces<\/a> on YouTube has been viewed by over half a million people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left is-style-default\">For a while, my artistic journey focused on the concept of collaborative music \u2014 a kind of Wikipedia of musical composition \u2014 which I called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kapuzinerstrasse.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kapuziner Strasse<\/a>; it\u2019s a project I still believe in deeply, though perhaps the time for it hasn\u2019t quite come yet. We\u2019ll see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left is-style-default\">Today, my music takes shape through what I call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lorenzofrizzera.it\/en\/wp\/il-gioco-della-musica\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1257\">The Game of Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Music as a profession<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve taught my instrument, the guitar, for over twenty years and have had more than two thousand students in many schools and several conservatories, both in Italy and abroad. Today, I limit myself to running bimonthly workshops during the school year. Every year, I organize the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guitarcampus.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Guitar Campus<\/a>, un workshop per chitarristi di tutti i livelli. Ho scritto anche un paio di manuali&nbsp;ad argomento musicale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2018, I\u2019ve been managing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centromusicatrento.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Centro Musica<\/a> of the Municipality of Trento, where I try to build a community of people who come together to share their love for music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the website&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.accordi-chitarra.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.accordi-chitarra.it<\/a>, one of the leading Italian sites for beginner guitarists, I\u2019ve offered free lessons to over 30,000 people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Music as a means<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with luthier Stefano Robol, I designed and built a low-cost guitar for developing countries: the Chiquitica. We produced and sold a couple of thousand of them; we always had more orders than we could fulfill \u2014 despite doing no promotion at all \u2014 and eventually realized it was like having a second job. Since we were doing all of this on a purely voluntary basis, we reluctantly put the project on hold. But for anyone interested, it\u2019s still there \u2014 ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">With the help of a group of friends and the support of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spagnolli-bazzoni.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spagnolli-Bazzoni<\/a> association, I actively support the project of the first music school in Burundi, as well as a music school in a remote Cuban village called Rodas. For this and other projects, I continue my work as a volunteer through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.updoo.it\/world\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UpDoo World<\/a> association, which I founded in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m the partner of Ornella and the father of Filippo \u2014 and, truth be told, compared to that, everything written above matters very little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lorenzofrizzera.it\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/friz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lorenzofrizzera.it\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/friz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lorenzofrizzera.it\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/friz.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.lorenzofrizzera.it\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/friz-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lorenzofrizzera.it\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/friz-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lorenzofrizzera.it\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/friz-624x624.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musica come fine Sono musicista da tutta la vita, ho suonato principalmente musica jazz, ma anche molti altri generi musicali, in Italia e in tutta Europa con varie formazioni.
