The Magic of Piano Playing - Piano Lessons: Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Singer Song Writer

As a pianist who has been performing/recording different styles of music for many years, I have developed a wholistic view of the instrument and its role in music. The goal of this course is that my students will build a strong pianistic foundation while playing the styles of music that inspire them the most.

The structure of the lessons will be generally divided to two main parts:

- Fundamentals of piano playing (including various techniques and methods that enhance strong piano skills and habits).

- Working on the music that is most inspiring for my students (including studying written pieces, learning music by ear, composing, improvising, and many other tools).

There’s a lot to be said about how a musician can make a musical instrument ‘speak’ and one of the goals of this course is to help my students find their own unique and authentic way of playing the music they love on the piano.

About Me

I truly believe that music is for everyone and my goal as an educator is to always strive for nurturing the students’ connection to music. Teaching approach may change from one student to another, depending on age, interests, personality, etc... Music is made out of sounds and the space in between them. Unlike instruments where technically the performer can control the length of the notes, the piano only allows a note to ring for as long as the instrument can carry it based on the amount of weight and speed applied to the key by the pianist. However, when a pianist imagines a note sustaining longer than what the physical nature of the instrument is capable of, it affects the entire texture of the music and everything else played around it on the piano. All of a sudden, the piano transforms from a tonal percussion instrument, into a magic box containing any type of instrument imaginable and the sky becomes the limit.

Education

Having received his first piano lessons at the age of six, Israeli native Yaniv graduated from the Thelma-Yellin high school of the arts in Tel Aviv. Upon graduation, he went on to study with gifted Israeli instructors such as Dr. Assaf Zohar, Ms. Hanna Shalgi, and Prof. Benjamin Oren. Masterclasses and lessons in the U.S. and Europe included work with jazz and classical pianists such as Richard Goode, Brad Mehldau and Sonia Rubinsky. In December 2009. Yaniv came to New York to study with pianist Pavlina Dokovska and in the fall of 2010, he moved to Fayetteville AR to study with pianist Jura Margulis in the piano performance program at the University of Arkansas. Yaniv’s work with Jura Margulis included lessons at the Mozarteum Summer Academy in Salzburg Austria. In August of 2013, Yaniv moved to New York City to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and graduate with a BFA degree.

Experience / Qualifications

I have 20+ years of experience teaching, directing, composing, producing, performing, and collaborating on numerous music projects worldwide. My music teaching experience ranges from private lessons to classroom-based lectures, directing ensembles, hosting masterclasses, and giving workshops. I have taught a wide age range of students, from 3-4 years old to 80+, including students with physical and mental disabilities and on the special needs spectrum. I have performed extensively at different venues and festivals around the world such as the Salle Cortot hall (Paris), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Tel Aviv Museum, Bern Jazz Festival, Kfar Blum International Chamber Music Festival, Borja Jazz Festival, The Walton Art Center, The DiMenna Center for Classical Music (NY), Vicenza Jazz Festival, and live performance broadcasts on NPR affiliate, KUAF, 91.3 FM, to name a few.

Music Theory and Ear Training Classes - Teoria e solfeggio
Hello! Being a singer and a singing teacher, many many times I have found myself in the situation of having to work on ear training, or solfège, or music theory... or all the above listed! Approaching music and having no clue of these elements can totally be intimidating and off-putting, but in 2023 I feel like it’s a pity that these subjects still are looked at with such a fear. I want to prove to you that building this basic knowledge can be easy, accessible, and not heavy at all! My program is not fixed: I’ll build it on your specific needs, whether they are preparing an exam, curiosity, or getting better at pitch matching... we will discuss it together. I have many books and materials, and I honestly prefer to draw blackboards by myself a lot of times. Unless you want to, I won’t ask you to buy any material, so the only cost that you will have to sustain is for the time of the class.

Piano lessons in Milano - piano, improvisation, composing, music theory
I was born in the Czech Republic, where I also studied at the Conservatory of Prague. My main field is composition and that is why my teaching method is different from the other teachers who studied piano. In 2016, I founded a school called the Lastwin School of Liberal Arts. Under this shield, I taught with my wife in our apartment. We were intrigued by how many parents enrolled their children for lessons. Even the parents themselves wanted to try the lessons. The method I use liked the headmistress of the Montessori school called Edison, where I taught piano and music lessons. I was wondering why, they do not use services like state music schools, which are significantly cheaper. The answer was very simple. Such institutions have clear textbooks, clear curricula, and everyone must follow this. But I am very sure, that this is not Art. I am for Liberal Art. And I want to be one of the other teachers who understand individuality and try to subordinate as much as possible to the student. For my inspiration, I take a tree that becomes a tool for every case when something is unclear to students. Milano has become my new home and I would like to enable this piano lesson here through the new

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.
