Hi! I'm Enrico Fabio Cortese, a professional film composer, pianist, and music producer with extensive experience scoring for cinema, major television networks, and international media productions.

Throughout my career, I have composed original soundtracks for prominent TV series and feature films, including "I Figli Strappati" (RAI UNO), "La Caccia", "Bel Ami – Liebling der Frauen", "Frau2 sucht Happy End", and "Dance For Life" "Bood Trap" "Frau2suchthappyend" , wher eI collaborated with several imporntant directors (among them the Oscar winner Edward Berger). As pianist  I kept Concerts in several Italian cities.

My goal on Lessonface is to pass on real-world industry experience to my students. Whether you are a beginner picking up the piano, an aspiring composer learning to score for visual media, an arranger looking to elevate your orchestration, or a producer aiming to master Logic Pro or Cubase, my lessons are structured to give you practical, professional tools tailored to your creative path.

Teaching Style

  • Non-Traditional Methods: Focus on ear, shape recognition, creative intuition, and practical application rather than formal academic lectures.

  • 100% Customized: The lesson fits your goals, software setup, and preferred music—never a rigid, one-size-fits-all syllabus.

  • Practical Assets: Get direct templates, simplified charts, and actionable feedback after each session.
