Hello! My name is Yuriy, and I’m happy to welcome you to my piano studio! I’m a performing pianist and a private piano teacher. Lessons are held on a concert grand piano — Estonia — with an excellent sound. The best way to start is with a free 30-minute trial lesson. Experience I have been working for over ten years with children from the age of 4 and with adults. I work with those who play for their own enjoyment or personal development, as well as with those pursuing a professional career — from complete beginners to advanced levels. I have successfully prepared students for piano exams in music schools, colleges, and universities, including international systems (e.g., ABRSM). With students who play for themselves, we work long-term at a comfortable pace, exploring the areas of music they’re interested in. I help adults develop a solid technical foundation. I also have experience working with children and adults with various developmental differences (ASD, ADHD, disabilities). I can help with: * playing your favorite pieces * learning various genres (classical, pop, pop, rock, jazz, boogie-woogie, etc.) * mastering all types of piano techniques * musical notation, music theory, solfeggio * preparing for professional exams or performances My approach I use an individual approach in my work, first of all I start from what the student needs, I listen to him, I look for an approach to help him improve his playing level. I consider this to be key in the learning process. The form of work, pieces, genres, the pace of learning, the depth of immersion, every question that arises - everything is decided individually and based on the benefit for your goals and your desires, and not in any particular lesson, but in each one. The lessons are adapted to the age of the student. Children usually prefer a game approach: a minimum of theory and a maximum of play. Education and achievements I started my education at the Stasov Music School in Moscow (piano), and then continued at the Ippolitov-Ivanov Music and Pedagogical College (piano). I received a bachelor's degree from the Jerusalem Academy of Music (piano). I am a diploma winner of the Moscow Piano Competition of Romantic Music (2018), and also a multiple participant in various concerts with solo and ensemble programs. I regularly improve my teaching skills through professional development courses or with fellow educators and participation in masterclasses. I also perform in concerts with various solo and ensemble programs. I have more than 7 years of personal psychoanalytic work experience, which allows me to delve into the details of each student in detail. Work online Everything is the same as in person, due to detailed explanations and demonstration. I have several professional webcams for a view from different sides of my hands and seat (including from above), as well as studio microphone so that you can hear and see both my voice and playing with high quality.
