You Will Have a Pianist! A Guide to Piano Class for Parents and Beginning Teachers

This edition is a practical guide based on the author's significant pedagogical experience. The book covers all stages of learning to play the piano in music schools and art schools: from identifying children's musical abilities to preparing for admission to conservatories. Specific tasks for each stage are discussed in detail. For teachers, methodological techniques are presented for working on polyphony, etudes, large forms, and pieces; for parents—advice on choosing an instrument, developing hearing and memory, supporting the child, and psychological preparation for concerts. Special attention is given to accompanying disciplines and their role in shaping a musician. It is addressed to students of music colleges, universities, teachers of children's art schools, children's music schools, and children's choral schools, as well as a wide range of readers.
