I started to be collaborating with DMA as external freelance instructor in 2008, when I was asked to either teach Logic (Lev. 1 & 2) and get certified the entire "John Lennon's Educational Tour Bus crew. For DMA I have also taught Logic classes at at Stanford University (summer campus).TESTIMONIALS:“OttoDe Togni is one of a handful of master Logic Studio and Pro Tools trainers in the world.

During those four years as an audio technologist, I wrote my own editorial column titled "Laboratorio Digitale & Digital Pro." Each month, I provided insights on improving the workflow with music and digital technology, including reviews, tips and tricks, and Q&A sections. I am grateful to Enrico Lotti, the director who personally invited me to contribute, and Francesco Pignatelli, the director since 2007, for the opportunity to share my expertise with over 20,000 readers and fans, helping many of them enhance their projects.Additionally, I reported live from notable trade events and fairs such as NAMM Shows (Los Angeles, CA), AES Shows (San Francisco, CA), and WWDCs (San Francisco, CA), among others. I also co-authored the book "iLife-Pro" (MacWorld Italia) with F. Pisani.

As one of the few Logic Certified Trainers in the world and one of only two in Italy at the time, I aimed to create job opportunities in Rome (Caput Mundi) and increase involvement in music and technology. To achieve this, I formed a joint venture with Roberto Lanzi at MUSICARTE, assisting them in obtaining Apple Authorized Training Center (AATC) status.MUSICARTE, one of Italy's largest and most renowned music shops, is located in downtown Rome, within walking distance of Vatican City. At that time, MUSICARTE was the only place in Rome and the second in Italy to offer professional Apple Logic Studio classes and certifications, playing a pivotal role in advancing music technology education in the region.

Espero is one of the most important historic well known educational facilities in Italy. I had the honor to be their Logic instructor. Besides, my "iPro Audio School" academy signed a join venture with Luigi Danieli at Espero. Together we provided great and successfull classes (both the logic level 1 & 2) in Milan, one of the most important business town in Italy.

I had the honor and privilege of teaching at one of the world's most prestigious academies. I was asked to develop the curriculum and teach Logic, Pro Tools, and Reason classes, as well as their first Sound Engineering Audio Technology program. Additionally, I served as the intermediary in the joint venture between Apple and La Scala, facilitating the Academy of Teatro alla Scala in Milan to achieve Apple Authorized Training Center Educational (AATCe) status.
