The main task for a teacher is to inspire a child to love music. To do it she uses an integrated approach to play piano. Her lessons include playing piano by notes, theory and history of music, clear singing, and selection of accompaniment for students' favorite songs. For young students Anna uses music games and recital for families. She prefers to teach beginning and intermediate students because it is very important to open the beauty of music and understand it. Anna is using Alfred's method to teach the young students. She bases her adult program on books by Nancy and Randall Faber. *** Travel Equipment *** Piano or keyboard *** Specialties *** Anna specializes on private piano and vocal lessons.
