Greetings once again! =)
I'm Katerina Levchenko and
I'm a piano teacher!
I do not want to bother you with lots of details about my bio. The most important thing is that I am a positive, smiley person who loves music, loves teaching how to play the piano and loves to share this love and joy of music with people. I've had years of classical training but it's not important because it's not what I want for you. What I want for you is to play the piano (both hands!) from the get go and enjoy it and yourself! =).

Simply Music Piano
Innovative playing-based approach!
Simply Music is the largest playing-based music education institute in the world. The main difference from traditional programmes is that we delay music reading as much as we can, so that the students could experience playing and improvising firstly, getting "well acquainted" with the piano and feeling great. In essence, the method consists of playing-based tools that are easy to understand when seen and played. This, together with a new teaching approach results in students of all ages playing great sounding contemporary, blues and classical music from the very first lessons! Here you can learn more about this amazing method http://simplymusicpiano.com/

What's given? What's needed?
What's given to you!
Learning how to play the piano here is similar to how we learn our first language. When a child has plenty of time to practice speaking before learning how to read and write, when the magic of learning is happening actually at home with some tools (books and videos) helping parents with teaching. Same is here. I will be your teacher (or better to say - coach) for just one lesson per week (that's all you need!), where I'll check you progress and explain new material for your development. You will be given student materials where there are videos of what has just been learnt during the lesson (so that you refer to the lesson as often as you like) and audio recordings of music pieces you're learning . Believe me, this is just awesome to have this information!
What do you need to do is
To train for 20 minutes six days a week (lesson time isn't included and one day is the day off) using what you've learnt during the lesson this week and using videos from student materials; to attend new lessons, surely, and most importantly, to enjoy yourself! THAT'S IT!
You will feel and hear the results immediately after a few lessons and continue to do so throughout the whole experience! -
The bottom line is
If you want for yourself (or your child) to play the piano right away, feel great about yourself, to lay the foundation for developing your or your child's musicianship, to be in a place where you can just sit and play contemporary, blues, classical, gospel and accompaniment pieces, to improvise and compose, to make music a lifelong companion, then I am a perfect teacher for you!
