The Magic of Piano Playing - Piano Lessons: Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Singer Song Writer

As a pianist who has been performing/recording different styles of music for many years, I have developed a wholistic view of the instrument and its role in music. The goal of this course is that my students will build a strong pianistic foundation while playing the styles of music that inspire them the most.

The structure of the lessons will be generally divided to two main parts:

- Fundamentals of piano playing (including various techniques and methods that enhance strong piano skills and habits).

- Working on the music that is most inspiring for my students (including studying written pieces, learning music by ear, composing, improvising, and many other tools).

There’s a lot to be said about how a musician can make a musical instrument ‘speak’ and one of the goals of this course is to help my students find their own unique and authentic way of playing the music they love on the piano.

About Me

I truly believe that music is for everyone and my goal as an educator is to always strive for nurturing the students’ connection to music. Teaching approach may change from one student to another, depending on age, interests, personality, etc... Music is made out of sounds and the space in between them. Unlike instruments where technically the performer can control the length of the notes, the piano only allows a note to ring for as long as the instrument can carry it based on the amount of weight and speed applied to the key by the pianist. However, when a pianist imagines a note sustaining longer than what the physical nature of the instrument is capable of, it affects the entire texture of the music and everything else played around it on the piano. All of a sudden, the piano transforms from a tonal percussion instrument, into a magic box containing any type of instrument imaginable and the sky becomes the limit.

Education

Having received his first piano lessons at the age of six, Israeli native Yaniv graduated from the Thelma-Yellin high school of the arts in Tel Aviv. Upon graduation, he went on to study with gifted Israeli instructors such as Dr. Assaf Zohar, Ms. Hanna Shalgi, and Prof. Benjamin Oren. Masterclasses and lessons in the U.S. and Europe included work with jazz and classical pianists such as Richard Goode, Brad Mehldau and Sonia Rubinsky. In December 2009. Yaniv came to New York to study with pianist Pavlina Dokovska and in the fall of 2010, he moved to Fayetteville AR to study with pianist Jura Margulis in the piano performance program at the University of Arkansas. Yaniv’s work with Jura Margulis included lessons at the Mozarteum Summer Academy in Salzburg Austria. In August of 2013, Yaniv moved to New York City to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and graduate with a BFA degree.

Experience / Qualifications

I have 20+ years of experience teaching, directing, composing, producing, performing, and collaborating on numerous music projects worldwide. My music teaching experience ranges from private lessons to classroom-based lectures, directing ensembles, hosting masterclasses, and giving workshops. I have taught a wide age range of students, from 3-4 years old to 80+, including students with physical and mental disabilities and on the special needs spectrum. I have performed extensively at different venues and festivals around the world such as the Salle Cortot hall (Paris), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Tel Aviv Museum, Bern Jazz Festival, Kfar Blum International Chamber Music Festival, Borja Jazz Festival, The Walton Art Center, The DiMenna Center for Classical Music (NY), Vicenza Jazz Festival, and live performance broadcasts on NPR affiliate, KUAF, 91.3 FM, to name a few.

Music Theory and Ear Training Classes - Teoria e solfeggio
Hello! Being a singer and a singing teacher, many many times I have found myself in the situation of having to work on ear training, or solfège, or music theory... or all the above listed! Approaching music and having no clue of these elements can totally be intimidating and off-putting, but in 2023 I feel like it’s a pity that these subjects still are looked at with such a fear. I want to prove to you that building this basic knowledge can be easy, accessible, and not heavy at all! My program is not fixed: I’ll build it on your specific needs, whether they are preparing an exam, curiosity, or getting better at pitch matching... we will discuss it together. I have many books and materials, and I honestly prefer to draw blackboards by myself a lot of times. Unless you want to, I won’t ask you to buy any material, so the only cost that you will have to sustain is for the time of the class.

Piano lessons in Milano - piano, improvisation, composing, music theory
I was born in the Czech Republic, where I also studied at the Conservatory of Prague. My main field is composition and that is why my teaching method is different from the other teachers who studied piano. In 2016, I founded a school called the Lastwin School of Liberal Arts. Under this shield, I taught with my wife in our apartment. We were intrigued by how many parents enrolled their children for lessons. Even the parents themselves wanted to try the lessons. The method I use liked the headmistress of the Montessori school called Edison, where I taught piano and music lessons. I was wondering why, they do not use services like state music schools, which are significantly cheaper. The answer was very simple. Such institutions have clear textbooks, clear curricula, and everyone must follow this. But I am very sure, that this is not Art. I am for Liberal Art. And I want to be one of the other teachers who understand individuality and try to subordinate as much as possible to the student. For my inspiration, I take a tree that becomes a tool for every case when something is unclear to students. Milano has become my new home and I would like to enable this piano lesson here through the new

Professional jazz musician teaching jazz, blues, funk, R&B, pop, rock, latin and classical piano.
I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard. My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student. Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you. A bit about me: Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it. For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.
