Reflecting on his musical journey, Massimo shared that having begun his musical training at Western Sydney Music School at the age of 8, he was able to grow under the guidance of dedicated and passionate teachers who nurtured both his performance skills and a strong foundation in musical knowledge, enabling his success in HSC Music 2. He strongly recommends the Music 2 course to students with a solid musical background (AMEB Grade 8 or above), noting that it scales well and offers a valuable opportunity to enhance ATAR results. He also encourages younger students to work diligently towards Grade 8 prior to Year 12 in order to fully benefit from the academic and artistic advantages of the HSC Music 2 program.
