Elite piano students are those who demonstrate extraordinary skills and potential in piano playing. They work intensively with their instrument and often participate in competitions, masterclasses, and concerts. To support and develop these talented musicians, Farjadi Piano School offers a range of strategies and opportunities in piano instruction to help them reach their full potential.

Mentorship 

One-on-one lessons are offered twice a week with tailored instruction and feedback for elite piano students.

We work on the following topics:

Concerts and Recitals

Regular performances help elite piano students build confidence and develop stage presence. Playing solo recitals and participating in chamber music projects can diversify their experiences and enhance their musical development.

Practice and Repertoire

For elite piano students, daily practice is crucial. A structured practice schedule is essential and can include technical exercises, scales, études, as well as work on repertoire. Practice should also involve analysis and a deep understanding of the pieces.

Repertoire Selection

For elite piano students, it is important to work with a varied repertoire that includes different periods and styles (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern). The focus should be on both solo pieces and concertos.

Preparation

For elite piano students, thorough preparation is crucial. Ensure you are well-practiced by working on both the technical and musical aspects of your piece. Know your piece well, including dynamics, phrasing, and emotional expression. Mental preparation is also important; mentally prepare yourself to perform in front of an audience and visualize a successful performance.

Stage Presence

For elite piano students, stage presence is an important part of piano instruction. Project confidence, even if you feel nervous; keep your head up and move with assurance. Use your body language to communicate effectively with the audience and ensure that you maintain good posture.

Interaction with the Audience

For elite piano students, interacting with the audience is an essential part of piano training. Briefly introduce yourself and your piece if it fits the context. Respond to the audience's reactions and adjust your performance according to their energy. Always remember to thank your audience after your performance.

Handling Nerves

For elite piano students at Farjadi Piano School-KBH, handling nerves is a crucial part of piano instruction and masterclasses. Focus on positive thoughts and past successes to build confidence. Use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation before performing. Remember, the more you perform in masterclasses and other settings, the more comfortable you will become; experience is key to managing nervousness effectively.

Competitions

For elite piano students at Farjadi Piano School, participating in national and international piano competitions can be a valuable part of piano instruction and masterclasses. It helps develop stage experience and build an impressive resume.
