THE MIND-BODY-SOUL IMPACT OF MUSIC
All children are gifted. Born in the image of God, they are natural inheritors of divine wisdom and universal intelligence. What is the best way to utilize this gift? One way is to develop a life-long enjoyment of the beauty of music. Listening to classical music is important to infants even prior to birth. Studies show that it significantly contributes to the development of a child’s brain. An effective approach to appreciating music throughout life is to instill love for classical music at an early age. Listening leads to the desire to play a musical instrument. As an adult, the ability to enjoy and perform classical music is a means of achieving life’s purpose: self-fulfillment.
Music transforms one’s mind, body and spirit. Music can transform one in many different ways: positive and negative. As responsible teachers to our children, we must be aware of what music we introduce to them, given their stage of development, and make the conscientious choice for them.
PIANO LESSONS
The lessons are taught in the authentic tradition of the Russian classical school of music, based on a complete music education (“wholeness” in music education). This includes the following: music literacy, ear training, singing, music theory (i.e. grammar and musical syntax, style and form), as well as a detailed approach to piano technique, i.e. phrasing, articulation, “hands breathing”, “hands singing”, beauty of tone, etc.. Music appreciation is optional.
Children are natural performers. They love to show other children, their parents and relatives what they have learned. Periodic recitals and impromptu playing for others allow them the chance to take pride in their accomplishments and have a lot of fun…
Piano recitals are offered in my home studio, as well as through the MTAC (Music Teacher Association of California).

Performing a musical instrument is the most challenging skill. Most children, who take piano lessons, are not going to become professional musicians. However, if your child can play an instrument, he/she can accomplish anything in life.
