About Clementa C.

5.0

(4)

I am a fun, very experienced pianist, teacher, coach and artist. In my early age I won many competitions and performed in solo recitals and with symphony orchestras, also as a chamber musician, therefore I understand what it takes to not just learn music but what it takes to be a great performer and interpreter of music. My beginner students enjoy a fun way of learning to read notes and interpret even the simplest songs and pieces. I introduce my students to technique by teaching scales in many forms , exercises and etudes. I also teach them theory and give them written homework to practice their knowledge while away from the lessons. They are rewarded with surprise gifts after earning a certain amount of A grades. Students of school age are prepared for state evaluations and festivals and participate in studio recitals. I also work with students on their sight reading skills, theory, harmony and basic composition which tremendously help their understanding of the pieces they learn and how to aproach memorization and ultimately the interpretation and composer’s musical intent. Students also enjoy performing chamber music with their fellow musician friends and enjoy fun parties after recitals. Adult students come to my classes for many reasons the main ones being: wanting to learn about music or to perfect their skills. Many students are also interested in preparing for auditions to music institutions or exams in the music field they are already majoring in. Other areas of interest my students have include church music, hymn improvisation and sacred music performance. My studies began when I was 6 years old in my city of birth Brasov, Romania and ended with my Bachelor and Masters degrees at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City. I performed all over the world as soloist and chamber musician together with my two brothers who are also professional musicians, violinist and cellist. Students will be given a studio informational package upon registering with my studio which includes my resume, studio fees, studio activities and general studio activities information. My students find me to be very funny but at the same time professional and very serious in my expectations of their weekly preparation for lessons.

She demonstrates incredible patience and possess advanced technical ability. She is an inspiring teacher who makes learning fun.
