- INDIVIDUALISED LEARNING: Elena understands that each student has a unique learning style and strengths, offering an educational path tailored to meet their individual needs and goals. The flexibility of this educational approach makes it possible to teach all age groups and all levels.
- FOCUS ON TECHNIQUE: Elena places great importance on proper technique, particularly on the use of the wrist and arm in piano playing and works with her students to develop the technical skills they need to play comfortably and without injuring themselves. With due study, discipline and the right, practical guidance, everyone is capable of achieving high levels of technical proficiency.
- EMPHASIS ON EDUCATION: Elena thinks piano playing should be based on a deep understanding of the music being performed, resulting from an overall knowledge of music literature and musical analysis, as well as the exploration of various cultural domains, from humanities to science. By gaining a deeper understanding of the music being performed, students can appreciate the music more fully and make more informed decisions about how to perform.
- ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WIDER CULTURAL WORLD: Elena believes in the importance of inspiring her students to embrace a wide range of cultural and life experiences and encourages them to engage with domains of culture and knowledge beyond classical music. The study of music is seen as a process of personal reflection and self-discovery, essential to personal growth and development.
