Arthur Rubinstein once said that the only objective for him is to keep his interpretation fresh and alive. I always have that on my mind and  I try to make practice hours vivid and colorful.

   Hi, I want to share with you some main standpoints regarding music, in this particular case - the piano. I am 40, and I dedicated my life to piano. By “life” I mean - childhood, youth plus the rest, until the present day. Besides classical music, which is my mainstream because I studied it "officially," I listened and played every kind of music that can be played on keyboard. In high school we practiced "sight playing," at home I played "by ear," because I couldn’t constrain myself to classical music solely. This need for growing and expanding, constantly stretching your mind and your horizons, is probably most valuable characteristic of human beings (although it's a lot easier to gain success and fame if you focus on one thing at the time!). 

     Therefore, I was always against online video courses of playing. My point of view was based on experiences originating mostly from high school and music academy. Long hours of practicing piano (demanding classical compositions), reading books, visiting exhibitions, concerts, opera, etc. In a word, enjoying in atmosphere and benefits of one world that does not longer exists.

     As I am teaching in the music school, I observe today’s kids. They are pounding on a piano with one hand, holding a cell phone in other, trying to play melody by ear. Everything is changing, moving forward so fast. Classical approach in music pedagogy does not cut any ice, anymore. On the contrary, it may be even counterproductive.

      So, I went through many video classes, which I used to make fun of before. All those virtual classrooms with camera focus on keyboard, showing musical phrases repeated with slow motion, even synthesizers with blinking keys (when pressed!). All seemed to me like a kind of circus. But after 12 years of work with small kids, I changed my standpoint. This is actually exactly how it's meant to be. So, I decided to go "online". Internet opened a brand new dimension of sharing knowledge that we kept selfishly somewhere deep in ourselves, with no thought that there is someone out there who might desperately need exactly that particular knowledge.
