Traditional Teaching	The PianoWell System
The Description of the Experience “Imitate the Description”	How the Experience is Created “Feel the Experience”
Play smoothly. Overlap slightly when releasing fingers. Fingers sink into soft butter or dough. Let one note blend into the next. Play as if you were singing. Play like bel canto singing. Gently enter the key without force. Sing! Feel the depth of the keys as you play.	1. Imagine the notes in the right quality and direction of the sound. 2. Convey the imagined sound and its direction through aligned wrist motion. 3. Internally sing the space between the notes with glissando and resistance. 4. Transfer free energy within your body (arm weight) to the instrument through internal singing. 5. Your hands don’t exist: they are simply a channel for expressing sound imagination & internal singing.

What’s Missing in Teaching?

The PianoWell System

learn more

With 20 years of Russian School training and

nearly 30 years of intuitive research,

including studying with direct students

and grand-students of Heinrich Neuhaus,

Emma has expanded these foundations into a method

that is both mechanical and intuitive.

The results? Verified through thousands of videos and
incredible transformations in her students.

Her key innovation?

Music is created in the invisible world -

before the note is even played.

1. Shaping sounds first in the mind and vocal cords

2. Aligning sound imagination and inner singing

with natural, effortless hand movement

My Journey & Mission

By adopting a mindful approach,

I healed from tendinitis and
musician’s dystonia.

Hi, I’m Emma, a pianist with a Master’s degree

in Piano Performance from the Moscow Conservatory.

I’ve been lucky to learn from some truly inspiring teachers
throughout my musical journey:

I started at The Central Music School

with Kira Shashkina

(who also taught Mikhail Pletnev).

Then I studied at The Moscow State Chopin College

with Professor Lev Naumov

(a student of the legendary Heinrich Neuhaus).

I completed my Master’s degree

at The Moscow Tchaikovsky State Conservatory

with Pavel Nersessian

(a Professor at both the Moscow Conservatory

and Boston University).

The journey to becoming a great pianist isn’t just about
perfecting technique, but also about healing

from the emotional and physical traumas.

Over 25 years, I’ve created a teaching approach that nurtures
both technical mastery and emotional well-being.
