on 8/2/2008 I study piano performance at the Moscow Conservatory in Russia, and this video is really horrible. It is shocking and it makes me furious that this person is teaching piano performance as an expert. She needs to begin with simple Bach Inventions and learn how to play scales so that all of the notes sound equal....her finger control is like that of an 8 year-old in the Central Music School (for children) of the Moscow Conservatory.

on 8/2/2008 She is not even playing all of the notes in her simple upwards/downwards scales. Everything is rushed and unequal. Her technique doesn't exist. Even little children don't play like her in other countries.Shoshana you must be able to sing every note articulately in solfeggio as you play each note. That is the speed in which you should be playing. Don't play faster than you can sing the notes in solfeggio. (scales, arpeggios, and everything) Don't let your fingers run before your brain.Your brain must know exactly which note your finger will hit, before your finger hits it.Please stop teaching children.You will finish their future as a concert pianist.
