I am teaching piano from beginner to advanced students at any age using all different piano method and from classical curriculum to jazz and improvisation modern piano. 

My teaching priority is to developing the passion and drive among foundation of musicality, technic, side-reading, strong rhythmic reading, articulation and dynamics to learn creating balanced phrasing depending the stylistic and period of music. Every student has a different mind canvas, that an instructor needs to paint developing their mind of esthetics, philosophy, theories etc... differently finding paths out of the maze of each challenge task students has to establish week to week. in that, I try to apply different ways to inflate those very many challenges. I am focusing in everything, from piano technic, repertoire, sing along, clapping rhythmical notation before adding the actual note through appropriate fingering position, articulation, dynamics, phrasing etc... Also, practical on piano keyboard harmony and interpretation by reading & recognizing chords and intervals and the effect of tension resolution that effects the phrasing dynamic is a must for my students to learn and focus on.  Hands and body motion, finger fast preparation and rhythmical & articulation exercises also included in my teaching practical methodology. 

Singing and imitating sing along our practicing repertoir is also important.

In general, my adeal goal is always to transfer my passion for music language, knowledge, years of experience, musicality artistic esthetics that will develope with dedication and some dissiplaon out of working flow sdudying of daily practice.

I use beginers methods from Alfred's Library & Adventures Piano serius for yonge Lesson Books - Theory - Note Speller - Theory etc.. and Adults All in One,  Michael Aaron Piano Method serius levels, John Thompson. Every method serius book I'm using is depending of my students' age and the style of learning adjusting theor needs. 

I use many otger books from technical preperatory exercises for piano, from Schmitt op.17, Hannon, but most I use my own scales, chords and arppezios methodology of boty memorisation and practical finger grouping tgat makes my students life of learning all of the scales easy and fast. Also, I havevdevelopes my own methodology that I apply to my more asvanced students of wait ballance, cineciology, articulation, polyrhythmic exercices, different axentuatiom of play triplets against dublets etc... That develops clear articilation, coordination on hands and texture, phration and clear controle, voicing, dynamics controle and so much more.
