Piano lessons for children

• About the piano lessons 

Hello! My name is Elena Menshchikova .
Welcome to my website and thank you very much for your interest in piano lessons !
If you really love music and want to open this wonderful world for your child, then piano lessons are what you need.
Piano lessons are an ideal option for exploring music.
Му lessons are conducted in a piano home studio located in the South lyon area of Michigan .
In my lessons children get the skills of professional piano playing and gain knowledge of world music, composers, music theory.
We learn to understand and perform music of various styles and composers, studying both classical and popular music by the best composers of all time, and also try our hand at composing our own music.
I encourage children to choose the pieces of music they will perform. I think that this contributes to the development of both musical taste and the ability to think independently.
Children show the results of their achievements in music twice a year in the winter and summer concerts.
Thanks to these lessons, children develop not only musical abilities such as musical hearing, a sense of rhythm, finger dexterity and hand flexibility, and also improves general abilities such as memory, attention, and concentration.
Preparing for piano lessons will help your child learn how to better organize his time.
Performing on stage in front of the audience gives children the opportunity to express yourself as a person and gain confidence in your abilities.
In piano lessons, I combine the Russian classical methods of teaching piano to children with some progressive American piano teaching methods.
However, you can choose the most preferred teaching method for your child if he or she speaks both Russian and English.
Please give your child the opportunity to reveal his talents in the world of music and you will never regret it.
I am looking forward to seeing you and your child  in my lessons !
