ABOUT PAOLO SCARDINA
Paolo got his musical start in kindergarten when he was tall enough to reach the keyboard of an old upright player piano in the basement of his house in Ohio. His mom set him up with piano lessons from her sister, an accomplished pianist, so that Paolo could perfect his piano skills and study music composition. He stuck with it all through high school, college, and graduate school.
He took a break from music and moved to San Francisco to seek a ten-year career as a professional dancer/choreographer. Then he moved on to the world of residential design, starting a successful practice in Portland Oregon. While in Portland he finally acquired a piano and picked up where he left off to forge a career in music. He moved to Sedona in 2011 and continues to make music a strong focus in his life.
