Teaching method at a Glance

Detailed technical guidance

Understanding the energy transformations and physical processes that occur to one’s hands and body while performing is the key element of the method.

As the technique and mechanics of piano playing are considered the language enabling a student to communicate their ideas successfully, Przemek’s method emphasises establishing natural, healthy, and scalable technical habits as early as possible. Quality of sound and piano touch are prioritised from the very first lesson.

Some professional and detailed hand and finger positioning tips and technical exercises are offered to support correct technological development.

Clear and easy-to-follow references to the laws of physics are being made while teaching intermediate and advanced students.

Beginners are clearly instructed on what actions will make them technically successful so that good habits may be developed at the earliest stages of learning. A detailed demonstration is included to support the learning process.

Advanced learning and practising techniques. Theory, reading and sight reading

Detailed analysis of the musical structures, recognizing and creating patterns, using logical and textural combinations, various memory techniques and awareness of the historical context make the learning process faster and more efficient. Some elements of the history of music, harmony and theory are an integral part of the method and are introduced whenever needed to create a conscious and intellectually confident interpretation. In addition, helpful reading and sight-reading techniques are included to support the learning process. As a result, all aspects of musical education are being covered.

Performance psychology

Extensive performance experience is being brought to the teaching environment. Therefore, lessons contain professional guidance on techniques of concentration, relaxation and controlling performance anxiety.
