Jacobs is renowned as a powerhouse piano school.
Doezn?…
She’s an impressive artist, and I heard a few of her Menuhin students, her work really showed in their playing..
Dinara Klinton’s from Ukraine. She’s not of Ukrainien origin. Congratulation on her appointment.
Its actually not much of a ‘power house piano school’ Norman. It wasn’t even much of a one when I was there 25 years ago & hardly comparable with centres of keyboard excellence such as Juilliard or Moscow. Yes- Sebok & Pressler were still around & the inspiring Nauomoff was new to the faculty & Auer was good for Chopin. But apart from that- the piano professors were as poor as the clapped out pianos on offer.
Great! I hope she enjoys her $35 per hour job.
Unfortunately, she’ll only have 4 or 5 students for those 1 hr. $35 Lessons
Have to check my contract, last time I did it said something else
I did a sabbatical year at IU to work with the renowned Josef Gingold. This school offers the best of everything to aspiring young musicians. It is in a beautiful and peaceful location and the atmosphere is encouraging and stimulating offering a wonderful balance to the students. The prestigious faculty is amazing and the programmes and opportunities offered are as good as it gets!
Guys, please don’t you worry about my finances. I’ve earned so much to the date that I can afford to work for free
Huge congratulations to Dinara with this marvellous appointment! Dinara is an outstanding pianist who deserves to play in the best halls all over the world. Her students are lucky to have her. She is a dedicated and highly gifted teacher with solid experience. Frankly it’s a bit sad to read some inappropriate and silly comments coming from unkind people. It would be better to keep your jealousy to yourself but not demonstrate it publicly.
