Teaching Approach and Methodology
for children
Piano lessons for small children are focused on the development of a musical ear, rhythm and basic piano-playing skills. Percussive instruments and animal toys help children to develop a good sense of music pitch, distinguish piano registers and simplify understanding of basic music concepts. Drawing, coordinated movements with music and listening to different musical genres are used to develop a sense of rhythm. Flash cards with the familiar images to every child facilitate in learning different rhythmic values of notes. All resources combined with a touch of creativity make learning basic concepts easy and fun.
Teaching Approach and Methodology
for adolescent and adults
Lessons for adolescent and adult learners are tailor made for the individual student. The lessons are focused on developing good piano skills and connecting to the music on both emotional and intellectual levels. A balanced repertoire of classical and contemporary music, four-hand piano duets and technical exercises are used to development a well-rounded musician. During the lessons we explore a more embodied way of playing the instrument, work on performance related anxieties. At the end of every semester the students have an opportunity to perform on the recital stage.
