Methodology
Building proper foundations for musical growth
My approach is very systematic in a way that a student understands every step of the learning process. It is built on European Conservatory tradition. Learning a classical instrument is tightly connected to learning the classical music at the same time.
The first year of study defines your entire future as a musician. A solid technical and theoretical foundation is what prevents the "plateau" that can stop your progress.
Technical Rigor
Proper hand anatomy and weight distribution from day one.
Mental Clarity
Learning to read and analyze scores so your brain leads your fingers.
Curated Progress
Songs selected specifically to build skills, not just to sound "cool" for a moment.
Academic Path
Danijel Brecelj studies piano at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris with prof. Roger Muraro, where he obtains his master degree in 2011. He continues to study piano with prof. Rolf Plagge at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg where in 2016 he graduates with a concert master degree.
