Laurel · ★★★★★ · about Marat I.
Marat has been marvellous at getting me started at playing the piano again after a long break. He is so adept at teaching on Skype that it is almost as if he is sitting next to me at the piano in real time. He explains carefully how to set up your IT so as to get the best out of your lesson. Marat brings so much knowledge to the lessons and his enthusiasm for teaching and his dedication are very motivating for me as a student. He is very engaging and methodical in the way he teaches and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. One of the things I really love about my lessons with Marat is that he is an educator as well as a teacher. Not only are my keyboard skills improving quicker than I’d expected, but Marat incorporates all sorts of other enriching aspects of music study into the lessons: sight-reading, aural skills, and music theory, for example. He also tells me about the composers of the pieces I am learning and something about the history of the piece. I am learning so much more than I had expected to. Marat even makes scales, which I dreaded before, fun and easy to learn. My lessons with Marat are the highlight of my week. They are not simply piano lessons. Rather, they are ‘music’ lessons and I feel so lucky to have discovered such an inspiring teacher. Already, after only a few lessons, I feel confident that, with Marat as my teacher, I will soon be able to think about taking exams.
