Pre-reading period with beginners
Tatiana Shklovskaya currently splits her teaching between the Gnessin Music College (МССМШ им.Гнесин), where she studied under Profs Rodzevich (she also graduated from the Gnessin Institute under Profs. Gutman), and the State Classical Academy in Moscow where she works as an Associate Professor. Her acclaimed pupil Alexey Melnikov received the Third Prize and Bronze Medal in the XVI International Tchaikovsky Competition
Ms Shklovskaya’s pedagogical approach is based on the traditions of the Russian Piano School. She has enjoyed a successful concert pianist career with the Moscow State Philharmonia and became a laureate of national and international piano competitions, receiving several important government honours and awards. She is, she says, “very proud of her students who have become fine musicians and laureates of national and international competitions in Europe, Asia and US more than a thousand times!”
Applying the Orff method with young beginners, using tunes on the black keys
Irina Woronow, the author of the popular piano method Klavierschule Verliebte Giraffe, studied the classic approach to piano pedagogy at the Kazakh National Academy of Music and the Orff method at the State Academy for Music and Performing Arts in Mannheim.
In her workshop, Irina will demonstrate how, during the pre-reading period, the Orff Method will help to engage even the most apprehensive beginner, using tunes, play-alongs and some clever technology from her new book Happy Piano Keys.
