Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Studying music teaches discipline, perseverance, and work ethic. Both parents and music education supporters advocate the importance of exposing young children to a variety of musical instruments, music-related activities, and different styles of music to enhance their education experience and foster their academic, social, and emotional growth. Playing music develops creative character that cannot be simulated in any other way, and has been proven effective for all ages, from early childhood lessons up to post-graduate studies and beyond.
Mr. Petrov is a talented pedagogue who sets an excellent example of a unique educator with his strict and conscientious teaching style combined with his own teaching format. His illustrative performances and emotional playing are always very effective in inspiring students' musical sense and make his classes colorful and motivating. Raised in the rich traditions of the Russian piano school Mr. Petrov’s teaching philosophy places great emphasis on both technical training and the production of a singing tone. Mr. Petrov strongly believes and follows the ideals of the great pedagogues who taught and inspired him through the long period of his music education including Valery Kastelsky, pupil of Heinrich Neuhaus; Sergey Dorensky, pupil of Grigory Ginsburg; Klaus Hellwig, pupil of Wilhelm Kempff; Kevin Fitz-Gerald, pupil of Marek Jablonski.
