WEBSITE

It started it as a pastime in 2000, with one page about Greece, just to reply to some internet-friends who asked for information for their trip here.
In the meantime, my friend Esin encouraged me, taught me, and here i am with more pages than i can manage.
I try to update my pages, every summer.


EDUCATIONAL CDROMs/DVDs USED IN MY CLASSES

MUSICSTORY The story of music (10+ years old).

MUSIC_ARCHIVES
My music notes compiled, organized, available to my students

My music database of the last 20 years was gradually scanned, recorded and saved in my PC. The music examples, the articles, glossary, piece by piece analysis, rehearsing strategies... all my personal notes from my practicing and teaching sessions.

PIANOSYLLABUS (for piano teachers)
The syllabus for piano teaching presented in four chapters:
preliminary, lower, intermediate and advanced level

Lists of pieces are presented for every level as required by greek conservatoires (also, reference to the british and other european examination boards). The piano works are graded by difficulty and a few notes explain the character of each piece and its importance as an educational tool.
