You have definitely taken everything to another level. Definitely catch songs and giving me ideas of the different year levels I can use them with. Thank you for your commitment to your work. It is so evident that you love what you do and do it with excellence. Looking forward to another fun year of teaching your songs to the kids.

I just watched the new video 'The Best I Can Be' and it is fabulous!! Such a cool catchy tune and such great positive vocab with a fantastic message for kids. Love it!! Thank you so much for your creativity and fun creations!! I am using both this video and the 'Come ti Senti Oggi?' this term with my kids with our units. The other ones are so great too!! You have had an extremely busy and productive festive season!! Grazie mille!!

Thank you so much for creating the Leonardo song—it’s fantastic, catchy, and so engaging! I know the students will absolutely love it and will be eager to sing along. It beautifully captures Leonardo’s achievements and highlights the brilliance of the genius he was and continues to be. Grazie again—I truly appreciate the time, effort, and creativity you put into this. It really shows. I’m sure many other teachers will also love the song and find lots of meaningful ways to use it in their classrooms. Grazie mille!

Once again, Mr Oopy was a huge hit with our students! His performances were the perfect blend of entertainment and education—fun, interactive, and engaging from start to finish. Each show was varied and tailored to suit different year levels, keeping everyone involved and excited. Working with Mr Oopy is always a delight. Nothing is ever too tricky for him. His passion for supporting teachers shines through in everything he does—whether it’s adding songs, creating new videos, or adapting content to meet our needs. Thanks to Mr Oopy, my Italian lessons are now more fun and interactive. The kids love the wide range of videos, and the language they’re learning is memorable, and practical. Bravo, Mr Oopy, e grazie mille!

Thanks again for today. It was amazing!! The feedback I received from the teachers was all positive they loved the fact that you asked students on stage, engaged them and the fact that the students knew the language and participated in the singing.

Thanking you and letting you know of my gratitude for assisting in making our Italian day a memorable event. Students are still commenting how entertaining and enjoyable your performance was. Also, thank you, for the lovely video which I will be showing the students and hopefully be able to place it in our newsletter.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for your performance on Wednesday - it was fantastic! All of the students were so engaged and spoke so positively about the performance and having the chance to meet Mr Oopy! Thanks again and take care!

I am currently using your videos for my younger Italian students with my subscription. The kids really enjoy learning with your songs. They think you are hilariously funny, so they are always engaged whenever I use them in class. They especially love the movement songs and are keen for you visit our school in the future. I am using the “Aye aye” exercise video for numbers 1-10 this term. My Preps really love it and ask for it each week. I love that you count forwards and backwards. It is a fun challenge and an excellent reinforcement of the language. Your colour song was a hit at Education Week. 1C was very excited to perform in front of parents, although they were a little timid at first. Thanks for all your info and creativity.

Amazing! Big thank you! The graphics are so engaging and the tunes very catchy. The students are going to love these! We watched La Citta today and it was a hit.

The kids really enjoy your videos, and so do I! You’ve got such a fun and engaging way of teaching, and it really sticks with them.

Just letting you know that I have been using your videos for year 7 students and they love it. Thank you for your amazing work.

After trialling your videos yesterday I was very happy with them. The students especially enjoy the song 'la frutta'. I am really impressed with your music and songs. It is hard to find quality music for the Italian classroom.

Thank-you for your videos and resources. The children love your videos, they are very interactive and entertaining. What is the theme of your show? I will speak to my colleagues regarding your show and get back to you. Grazie Mille!

Fun!! Fantastic!! Fabulous!! Since discovering Mr Oopy's collection of videos, they have become a weekly inclusion in Italian classes. I often begin or conclude a lesson with one of the videos and if the song is related to a topic we are doing, I use it as a language focus. Students are always requesting Mr Oopy, infact, I have even had parents asking me to share the link so kids can watch at home. The songs are not only fun and appealing to the students but also engaging and educational. Many of the songs link into units of work, for example, the body, food, colours,etc. It is also great to be able to get students up moving and following the actions or doing the exercises. I only wish you were based in Victoria so you could be a special guest at our Italian day celebrations. The kids would absolutely love it. Absolutely love your work Elio. Please keep making more videos. All L.O.T.E teachers should subscribe. Sei bravissimo!!!!!

Fantastic. Love the new video! I just like to say thanks for all the material you have supplied in Italian. I use them in my lessons daily. The children love the fun and wacky Mr Oopy!!! Thank you

Thank you for your videos. I just wanted to let you know that my students love your videos and ask me at the start of every lesson if they can see Mr Oopy! They especially love the faces at the end of the videos, but my goodness did the Olympic videos help them with remembering names of sports 🙂

Amazing - I've just added your songs to our Christmas Carol line up! Can't wait to see them, and your materials is making my students ADORE learning Italian, for my kindergarten classes 100 days of school, we had a disco as we danced and counted to 100! Thanks again,

Fantastic work. My class loves your songs and it has a great impact on their learning 🙂 Kind regards

The kids love your songs, as I do too! Thank you for your creativity and hard work. You are great to work with teachers the way you do!!

Your tunes are very catchy. Kids can get up and move around to them. Thanks for helping with the link and for asking me for ideas. These kinds of videos have really helped me with my teaching. They spice up my classroom!

Thank you for your email. I am an Italian teacher from Perth. I have been trialling your 1-10 song with my PPs and Year 1s and they have loved it. I have already paid for a year’s subscription and am looking forward to using many more of your songs – I teach graded Kindy – Year 6.. Your songs are great for all content areas of my curriculum – and then kids really love following along.

I work at a Catholic school in Albany WA as an Italian teacher from Pre-primary to Year 8. My little ones love your videos and your content/songs for vocabulary learning are fantastic. The students often ask for Mr Oopy and we use the videos as an intro or a recap for lessons. Or just to get them moving if they are fidgety. They love the videos that include movement.
