Do you study with a Russian trained piano teacher?

on: December 14, 2005, 02:00:42 AM

What is your teacher's approach to piano playing?
Do you have piano practicing principles?
Does he show you how to develop a critical ear to one's playing or keeping one's touch under continual control?
I noticed that Russian school of piano playing is quite diverse.
What about fingers, hands, arms, etc... and also staccato or leagato playing?

This is a very important question. I truly believe that you should keep an open mind , and if you are lucky enough to have many different teachers, you should choose the things that work and you like from the different teachers, untill you have your own practicing principle.
