ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Enzo Giribaldi Enzo began learning to play the accordion from the age of five years old from the local parish priest in a small northern Italian town. He soon was introduced to formal lessons from Maestro Carlo Ferrero. Enzo won his first competition when he was six years old. At the age of nine years old his family emigrated to Australia where he continued his studies with a German teacher, Otto Weiss located in Sydney. At the age of 17 years old he continued his studies with Maestro Dante Simonelli who had also emigrated to Australia. Maestro Simonelli had produced Italian and World Champions and under his tutoring Enzo improved immensely, so much so that he was destined to become one of the best accordionists in Australia. Maestro Simonelli was not only a great teacher of accordion but was himself a world class accordionist who was a close friend of the great Gervasio Marcosignori. Enzo was fortunate to have met Marcosignori during his frequent tours of Australia and in fact was invited by Marcosignori to take part in the tour as a support artist. Aged twenty, Enzo began to teach accordion under the supervision of Maestro Simonelli. During this time Enzo had been playing in Australia’s largest Italian club, Club Marconi with his quartet. Enzo also completed a Theory of Music course at the Conservatorium of Music - Sydney. Aged twenty four Enzo opened his first music school and in a short time he had a total of four music schools with twenty two teachers working for him teaching about 600 students of which about half were learning the accordion. During this time Enzo produced local, state and Australian champions. The reason for his teaching success was that Enzo invented new teaching techniques which helped his students learn quicker and at the same time making the learning experience pleasant and enjoyable. He basically broke away from traditional teaching which was too stringent and lacked the "fun" in learning an instrument. To list all his achievements would be too lengthy, but one achievement Enzo is very proud of is that his dance band was nominated for Australia’s most prestigious award, (The Australian Entertainment ‘MO’ Awards) in the category of "Best Accompanying Band Category" no less than SIX times in consecutive years, winning the award TWICE! What was special about Enzo’s win was that no other band before or since had won the award with an ACCORDIONIST as the band leader!......... |
