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.
