Piano For Adults With John Ferguson

Hello aspiring pianists! I have recently relocated to San Francisco after 31 years abroad where I toured to over 125 countries as soloist and teacher. I also run summer academies for pianists for the past 18 years in the Middle East. My goal as a teacher is to nurture your passion for music and provide the practical support you need to grow your technique and interpretative skills while expanding your knowledge of the piano repertoire. I also like to use improvisation in my teaching. I studied in France with Nadia Boulanger in the 70s and with Edith Lateiner-Grosz in Amsterdam in the 80s. I am also experienced in helping teachers with their pedagogical skills, preparing students for competitions and entrance auditions, and providing career advice on international teaching and performing opportunities. I primarily travel to students' homes for their lessons. I can teach in French, Dutch, and German if that is useful. Working knowledge of Thai and Arabic as well.
