After almost 14 years of learning and performing the piano, I started doing various research projects and studies about authentic educational methods and standards throughout the world. In 2008, after 2 years of studying, I came across ABRSM structures and goals which I found to be in harmony with my ideals in the field of music pedagogy. I then started my educational activities as a piano pedagogue in compliance with the standards of the Royal Schools of Music in the UK and the international ABRSM exam board.
Since 2012, besides my educational activities, I have been translating two books about music pedagogy and techniques of teaching piano. Some parts of the mentioned books are available on my Weblog. I Hope it would be useful for Persian music pedagogues in their native language.
When it comes to the piano, I love to teach the essence of good technique, the knowledge of the ‘why’ behind music (i.e. theory), ear training, rhythm and reading skills, memorisation of a wide repertoire from the great composers, and efficient practice time. But most importantly, the goal of my approach is to make sure that students are thoroughly enjoying the piano!
There is something special about teaching, and it is truly an honor for me to be able to pass on my knowledge and skills to others who can then share their own talents with the world.
