Piano Teaching method
I teach following the Russian School of Piano playing. This is a method based on expressiveness and a firm technique, which ensures tension-free playing. The Russian method emphasises lyrical playing and a great deal of singing and internalising of the music. Combined with the Russian Method, I incorporate the Kodály Method to reenforce aural and theory skills.
At the conclusion of each year, every student is given the opportunity to participate in a concert organised by myself. The concert celebrates the achievements and presents the material that each student has been working on throughout the year.
Most students sit for music exams through the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB). I have many years experience in teaching this syllabus and all students I send for exams are successful in obtaining certificates at each level.
I am a fully registered member of the Victorian Music Teacher's Association (VMTA).
I am registered with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT).
I am a Music Performance assessor for the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA).
