Without music life would be a mistake.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.

        Plato

What do we do?

1. ‣    All levels from complete beginners to diploma/degree level are welcome.
   

2. ‣    All lessons are provided on individual basis; we don’t offer group tuition.
   

3. ‣    Lessons are held on high-quality grand pianos (Steinway, Yamaha, Bluthner, Boston).   
   

4. ‣    Tuition can be held in either English, German or Russian (bilingual and full professional proficiency).
   

5. ‣    We teach children from the age of 3 and adults of any age.
   

6. ‣    We work on the students’ ability to read music, on building up or improving technique, on developing logical and imaginative interpretations based on knowledge of style and compositional backgrounds of pieces students play, on furthering an understanding and appreciation of music as well as its cultural and historical background.
   

7. ‣    We work on theory, aural and general musicianship.
   

8. ‣    We also work on fitness and health problems as they arise, on relaxation techniques and anxiety issues in performance at any level.
   

9. ‣   We make video recordings of students in lessons (only with their consent) to help them understand their problems quicker and to keep records of progress.
   

10. ‣    We prepare students for concerts, festivals, competitions, exams, auditions for scholarships and entrance exams for specialist music schools, music colleges and universities; students are encouraged to participate in various performance opportunities but they can certainly also choose not to participate. Those who do participate often get high marks in exams and top prizes in competitions, please check the News page for more details on events.
    

11. ‣    We also teach adults who would like to learn for their own enjoyment and who prefer not to participate in any kind of performance activities.
    

12. ‣    We regularly organise internal non-public performance events (‘Piano Hours’) for students to practice performing their repertoire without an audience (only those who play are present in those events) and to improve their critical analysis of performance skills (once in 4-6 weeks).
    

13. ‣    We devise individual learning programmes considering students’ individual goals, practice time and other circumstances.
    

14. ‣    All regular students have access to an extensive music library from which they can borrow sheet music, books, recordings, magazines etc. Pupils receive systematic advice and there is an online catalogue for own choice as well.
    

15. ‣    All regular students have non-public profiles with complete records of progress as well as information and materials.
