These are a couple of techniques I use in my lessons. I love to see my students having fun and enjoying music. I am very patient and laid back but I am strict in obtaining progress in each lesson from my student. I was taught Russian style for years, which will make you repeat the passage until understood. Yet, I find fun ways and different techniques to teach each student since each person has different ways of learning. I am very talkative and love to laugh so I enjoy students who are open to sharing a nice relationship with their teachers. I usually like to use Hanon and Czerny exercises for technique and later on in more advance levels some Kabalevsky, Chopin and Rachmaninoff etudes. I try to show my students different recordings of pieces they are working on, to expand their ideas and interest in the piece and different virtuoso performers. I teach different techniques for example, something I mostly incorporate in my teaching is relaxation. Many teachers do not teach this to their students which prevents their technique from progressing. Relaxation is part of any technique since it helps you flow through the keys with ease. I focus a big chunk of my time in relaxation to improve the technique in the individual. Another technique I tend to use, is the visualization of patterns. Many students- specially the younger ones, tend to see the piano and music as patterns. The intervals between the notes in the music sheet are patterns and also the the position of the hands on the notes. So if you or your child seems to be very good at patterns, I am the right teacher for you! My lessons consist of fun, patterns, relaxation, educational and funny stories about musicians, composers and music, but at the same time the strictness of making each lesson valuable! *** Studio Equipment *** Lessons at my studio or your home. *** Specialties *** Alexander and Taubman Technique. Improvisation. Musical works of Johannes Brahms.
