Agata Piano Studio

PHILOSOPHY

As I studied music further, I came to realize that art can be learned and mastered.  Art doesn’t just happen nor is it created by special people.  Art is built on a solid foundation.  

In my lessons I teach…
  • The proper form of playing the piano:  Good posture with arms and wrists flexible and relaxed, which prevents tension that often causes the harsh sound and can lead to hand injuries. 
  • How to press the keys:  use of the entire arm weight, avoiding shallow or brutal key depression in order to create  
           a beautiful sound. 
  • Note reading, music theory, music history, which helps deepen the understanding of a piece.
  • Scales and arpeggios.  Etudes (after about 6 month of serious practice)
  • Phrasing:  Creates convincing expression.
  • Deciphering and developing a mental image of a piece.
  • Finding balanced practice:  technique and expression go hand in hand to play beautifully.

I believe these are the core elements required to build a solid foundation as a pianist and to help bring your level up to an artistic level with diligent practice.

Recognizing that each student is different, I adjust the fundamental elements of piano playing described above according to the age, maturity, musicianship level, and personality of the student.
