I think I was born with desire to be a teacher. By the end of college, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. It's my life. I can't even say it's my job because I don't think there is a time in my day when I don't think about music or my students or teaching.
Piano Pedagogy Pioneering. Explore the innovative world of piano education with Irina Goran, the visionary behind the Tales of a Musical Journey method book series and founder of The Goran Institute. Renowned for her innovative approach to teaching piano, Ms. Goran emphasizes musicality, expressiveness, and foundational skills from the onset.
This little girl, her name is Qinyao, inspired me a lot with all my previous years of desperation to write the book. For each lesson with her, I wrote a story that would introduce her to certain concepts. I took to study how kids learn, young children, preschool ages, and what I've learned, they don't get things from explanations or demonstrations, only through analogies, through images, through stories, through artwork. They need to see, they need to hear, they need to imagine, and they need to feel or experience. In my books, these stories, the songs, they all work for developing, uh, students' imagination and making them active participants in the lessons rather than passive observers. So they participate, they want to experience, experiment, they want to try, they want to learn, they want to know what's next.
