The methodology for teaching piano at the Montessori Center is a unique development. At the beginning of each student's education, specific goals (levels) are set, which they will progressively achieve during their studies at the Montessori Center. The ultimate goal is the successful performance of a musical piece of a certain level of complexity at a concert or competition.

Advantages of Our Methodology

Students easily understand the set goals

The duration of education is determined by the speed of achieving the set goals, not by calendar periods

Students do not take traditional exams; instead, concerts and music competitions replace them

This methodology is suitable for both children and adults

After reaching their goals, students can continue their education, further refining their skills

You will need a piano or synthesizer at home for piano lessons.

A device with a camera and microphone will be required for online lessons.

We will send you sheet music in advance via email. You will need to either print it or open it on your monitor screen.

Having 2 lessons per week with our teacher will allow you to progress rapidly.

Regular lessons with a teacher will help you quickly master musical compositions.

Independent practice at home and completing assignments are recommended for all students over 7 years old.

Please be prepared fora substantial time commitment as learning will be an ongoing process.

Independent practice at home will reinforce the materials covered in lessons.

At the initial stage, dedicating 15-20 minutes daily is sufficient.

You will find joy in practicing music at home and will achieve results.
