Lessons/Coaching
My parents played a significant role in fostering my love for the piano. They were a major influence in developing my passion for the arts and creativity.In addition to their guidance, I had a piano teacher from the first grade (when I was six) until I went to Germany at 16 to study at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne.My parents also taught piano at home, also during school holidays.It was a different time, in a different social order.For many people in a totalitarian system like the former socialist dictatorship in Albania, access to art and music was a blessing and a form of escape from the harsh reality.
My mother, who continues to teach privately at the age of over 70, is the technician, the problem-solver, the one with the intuition and natural musicality, born for the stage.My father, more the concertmaster, conductor, and philosopher, usually did the last few teaching sessions with me to give the final touches before a concert.They taught me a lot and their work laid the foundations of my life as a musician. I am very grateful to my parents, and not just for that!In my teaching and coaching, I try to maintain the balance between these two areas of work that my parents naturally have and give both sides their place.In a concrete way, they draw the balance for me between "being practical and effective in the learning process" and "understanding music and its message and playing and experiencing it accordingly," regardless of era, genre, or style.
I don't differentiate between classical, popular, folk, jazz (although I have a degree in classical piano), serious and light music, or between 'good' and 'bad' music, commercial or non-commercial...but it has to groove (if it's groove music) and it has to be played with love and passion!
