I have a master's degree in piano
performing and pedagogy from the college
of music, Bucharest, Romania.
My piano teachers were Florica Musicescu's pupils,
the teacher of legendary
pianist Dinu Lipatti.
I taught piano at the school of music is Bucharest
for 11 years. In parallel I played piano in many
recitals both solo and in duos and, in addition,
I made recordings for Romanian radio and TV stations.
The next 11 years I taught piano at the conservatory
Kfar Saba, Israel.
At that time I also worked as an accompanist to
other performers (violin,
clarinet, canto).
In Austin I taught piano at International School
of Austin and Oakmont
School for six years.
In addition, recently I have worked with students
to understand concepts
connecting music and wider topics such as, "Classical
music and national
flavor music in American and Foreign films",
"Opera music from famous films"
, and "Parallels between Mozart and Chopin".
During these years, I continued my professional
development, participating
in master classes and teacher's programs such as
the TCU/Van Cliburn
Institute in Ft. Worth.
I teach at my home or at the student's home, preferably
central or south-west Austin.
My method is the traditional one taught in New
York, Paris and Tel Aviv.
I teach piano together with basics of theory, harmony,
and history of music.
My goal is to make the student understand and love
the music language, to
develop good mechanical skills, concentration, imagination
and personality.
I teach students starting at age six to adults.
I recommend 30 minutes twice a week for beginners,
one hour for
intermediate and two hours for advanced students.
