Accurate Music Instruction
Why You May Not Getting Excellence Earlier for Your Student

music-class-title When I became serious about learning, I found a fabulous instructor that used several methods of teaching which she developed and combined into her own style.

The great thing here is that she had been studying with one of the great Russian concert pianists and the techniques taught by their conservatory

Starting Technique Off Right

The thing was that they spent a lot of time going slow with the good technique and accurate music instruction. To make sure your motion is correct and you may spend months if not years on exercises that lock that in before you play at a faster speed or even learn significant pieces of music.

With the need of instant gratification that kind of instruction is not an easy sell. What I loved about how my teacher handled it was the way the technique was integrated it into the learning process with other aspects of theory and songs.
Technique was focused on every time we studied a scale, a chord, Hanon or Czerny exercises, and phrases in songs. It was about getting quality playing no matter what you were working on.

Each instrument has it’s own challenge in good technique. Having good materials for theory is a must, but making sure that the technique is focused on is essential if the quality of the learning and playing is going to satisfy your customer the student.
