Teaching System
In today’s world of the Internet, every-day use of the telephone and rapid data transmission by broadband communications, everything happens so fast. We are under pressure every second of out lives from the constant choices that surround us and demand our attention.
Despite the continual progressions in all areas of modern life, the majority of piano schools are still using systems which were formed fifty or even a hundred years ago.
Although their teaching methods have many established good qualities, this "old school" system sometimes makes it difficult for teachers to communicate with the modern world. GéNIA takes all this into account and offers a system specifically designed for the way people live now. GéNIA believes that support of individuality and self-confidence are the main keys to success. The primary aim of the method is to make the individual think and feel as an independent and creative artist.
Not only does the GéNIA MUSIC teaching method concentrate on issues of piano technique, public performance and personal practice; it also pays significant attention to the whole body-mind process. The method teaches students how to grasp the concept behind the music. This deep understanding allows people to become familiar with a musical work and to therefore learn it quicker.
GéNIA’s method pays great attention to whole-body function, as exemplified by Alexander Technique, so that one can develop a piano style that works in conjunction with individual physique, not against it. GéNIA believes that the use of the whole body helps to achieve maximum results with less effort. For GéNIA, the actual sound is paramount: "People perceive music firstly through the sound and secondly through the concept. Therefore sound itself can have healing qualities". She teaches how to master different qualities of sound, develop good listening technique, express ideas and feelings through sound and how to use a wide palette of techniques.
GéNIA also helps students develop their pedalling nuances, whereby effective use of both pedals will enable you to expand your coloring technique on the piano. The method not only imparts this knowledge but also teaches how to plan the learning and practicing process according to individual needs and circumstances.
The final aim is to empower you with a thorough knowledge of GéNIA MUSIC teaching and show how to operate these skills in a working environment, giving you the skills to become an independent and professional artist. By so doing, an entirely new understanding of total technique and artistic expression is achieved.
