Each year, when compiling my favorite You Tube beamed performances, I invariably dote upon the artistry of Irina Morozova. Her playing is simply heavenly, resonating with a heart-melting singing tone that weaves through undulating, well-sculpted phrases. It took only a smattering of HD transported Chopin offerings to catapult me to Subscriber status and then virtual Facebook Friendship. Naturally, such boundless cyber ties were transcended in my cross-country journey to Morozova’s teaching sanctuary in the heart of Lincoln Center. (The Special School/Kaufman Center proved to be a rich repository of budding musical talent) ici As a privileged bystander, riveted to my camcorder and iPhone capturing inspired pedagogical interplays that would reach the blogosphere, I especially treasured Irina’s generous offer to share her thoughts about Chopin’s heart-throbbing Nocturne in Eb in poetic framing. Such inspired outpourings have an immediate hypnotic effect and provide a teasing […]

Master teacher, Irina Morozova infuses her piano lessons with an expressive music-making approach that applies to technique and repertoire. Scales, arpeggios, chords, Czerny etudes, etc. are not compartmentalized as pedantic exercises bundled in torturous repetitions. To the contrary, they’re the substance of a musical craft that she honors with specific, singing-tone framed demonstrations of kinetic fluency and phrase-shaping. In the following lesson excerpts, Irina mentors Olivier, a gifted 12-year old, during the scale and arpeggio segment of his lesson. To cap the second video, a snatch from a lively Czerny Etude is offered. (Op. 822, No. 9) As Irina aptly says, “It’s so much fun!” *** A minor Scales A minor Chords, Arpeggios, Czerny Study LINKS: ici ici (Lesson segments with 6th grader, Daniel Mori–Clementi Sonata in F# minor; Liszt Leggierezza) ici

The earliest exposure to the piano in the primary lesson learning environment comes with an opportunity to teach the singing tone– to sensitize young ears to the instrument’s capacity to resonate with beauty. It’s not just an ear-training experience. The exploration of physical/musical expression, with imagination intertwined, can fill a very young child’s lesson with the most essential ingredients of learning. These lay the groundwork for further growth and development over time. Irina Morozova, an inspiring pianist and teacher, invited me into her elementary learning sanctuary at the Special Music School/Kaufman Center. It was on a balmy autumn Monday afternoon that I propped my tripod in a crowded corner of a room with two grand pianos; a small child perched at the Steinway; her dad watching, and a camcorder in automatic recording mode. In the morning I had observed advanced instruction with Olivier and Daniel. The latter, a sixth-grader, […]
