In this course, I provide detailed guidance on practicing the exquisite cycle of Robert Schumann's "Papillons," Op. 2. Tailored for late intermediate to advanced learners, this piece offers a rich opportunity to enhance a variety of piano skills, including octaves, leaps, legato, expressive phrasing, and dynamic emotional contrasts, among others. Throughout the course, I will meticulously lead you through each challenge presented in the piece, offering comprehensive strategies for efficient and effective practice, facilitating a smooth and rapid learning process.

About your instructor:
I'm a Ukrainian pianist currently living in Austria, and I've had the privilege of building a strong reputation in the world of classical music. Over the years, I've achieved success in several international competitions, solidifying my position as a well-known concert performer. However, my passion doesn't stop at performing; I'm also deeply committed to teaching the piano.
As a piano teacher, I go beyond simply focusing on style and musicality. My primary goal is to help students optimize their piano-playing techniques for efficiency. I've had the pleasure of working with students from all corners of the globe, assisting them in revamping their piano techniques, relieving tension, recovering from piano-related injuries, and developing effective learning strategies. I take a comprehensive approach to piano instruction, aiming to be a valuable resource for pianists looking to improve their skills, overcome challenges, and realize their full potential.
I wish you an exciting learning experience!
Sincerely,
Denis Zhdanov
