The foundation of our method is drawn from the esteemed Russian piano school, specifically First Meeting with the Music by Anna Artobolevskaya (1905-1988) and The Art of Piano Playing by Heinrich Neuhaus (1888-1964).
Anna Artobolevskaya, a remarkable piano instructor at the Moscow Central Music School, was celebrated for her enthusiasm and endless creative techniques tailored to each student. In the realm of piano teaching, she was a true artist.
Heinrich Neuhaus, one of the most distinguished pianists and piano teachers of his era, taught at the Moscow Conservatory. His students included renowned musicians such as Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter. Neuhaus believed that a music teacher’s role was not only “to teach the student how to play well” but also “to cultivate their intelligence, responsiveness, diligence, and awareness.”
