Piano Olympics

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

At our annual Piano Olympics Alexander Peskanov evaluates students on all seven levels of the Russian Technical Regimen. Niki was our first studentĀ  to completeĀ  the highest level of the regimen. Here she is in December, 2009, playing chromatic double sixths in both parallel and contrary motion, with Mr. Peskanov at the second piano. He told us, “When I first put together the regimen for Piano Olympics, it was my dream to play chromatic double sixths like this with a student.” Judging from the happy faces all day and especially in our closing ceremony, a lot of dreams came true that day.POPO2
