In 1671 he was accepted into the Accademia Filarmonica as a tenorist. On January 3, 1672, he joined the Franciscan order as a tertian and took the religious name Angelo. In 1673 he became Kapellmeister at S. Maria della Carità in Bologna. As a singing teacher, Angelo Predieri taught both girls and boys, in private households and in nursing homes. His best known student was Giovanni Battista Martini , who recognized him as his first mentor and excellent teacher.
