Piano Teacher's Mission

Here is the Piano Teachers' Mission Statement

For seriously oriented students I will provide the best knowledge of European School of Piano Performance for growing up a pianist-professional. It will help them to continue their studying on the college and conservatory level at any college in USA and Europe.

For those who will not choose a career in music, my goal is to help each one to develop a love and appreciation of music. I hope that music will be an avenue of fulfillment and a source of joy that will last them a lifetime.

My course offers private lessons for all ages and abilities. It teaches how to read music, solve piano performance problems, and develop ear awareness. It introduces to basic music theory and improvisation, and music history and appreciation.

Students will learn a wide variety of musical styles from classical to modern, hymns, pop, and old time favorites
My computer lab includes software for sight-reading and theory improvement.

Read how researches provide us with information on music lessons and brain development:

“…early exposure to music may help to preserve some of the millions brain cells a baby born with that might otherwise be lost without use”. --Judy Foreman, Boston Globe

“What scientists do know is that keyboard instruction—making music, not just hearing it—seems to resonate with the brain…After year of twice-a-week piano lessons, a recent study in California found, second graders from a poor district improved their math scores to those of forth grades from an affluent one”. --SB, Newsweek Special Issue

“In recent years, a flood of research has shown that music can raise OQ and boost standardized test scores”.
--Ellen Pollock, The Wall Street Journal

Successful Piano Lessons

Practice at home is a key ingredient of music study. The practice
assignment will be clear and easy to follow at home. Regular
practice develops musical understanding as well as muscle flexibility and control.
At the beginning of the school year, parents and students are asked to sign Agreement for weekly practice. Students will document their practice time in their assignment book. Twice in a year on recitals student with the most practice time for his grade will be recognized and rewarded.

Practice time:

Beginning 15-30 min. per day
Second and Third year 30-45 min per day
Fourth and Fifth year 45min - 1 hour per day
Sixth year or more I hour and more per day

Parents are always welcome to observe the piano lessons

With younger children (6-7 years old) it is necessary for parents to know their assignments, so that the student can be helped when they practice at home. Parents or any other adults’ assistance and involvement are required for this age at my studio.
