[Personal message]
I would like to help you to be able to create your piano sound with lots of colours, explore the music and to express your own feelings on the keyboard. I am sure that it is possible even for the very beginners with simple melodies.
I also help you to build up good techniques so that your hands will not suffer from pain or boring finger exercises!
I suggest various tips for practicing efficiently and exercises to develop your musical awareness.
