Welcome
People have been making music for a very long time. There are few people who do not react to music to some degree. The power of music is diverse and people respond in different ways. To some it is mainly an instinctive, exciting sound to which they dance or move their bodies. Other people listen for its message, or take an intellectual approach to its form and construction, appreciating its formal patterns or originality.
Music covers the whole gamut of emotions: it can make us feel happy or sad, nostalgic or energetic, and some music is capable of overtaking the mind until it is oblivious, creating or enhancing mood and unlocking deep memories. Music is intimately bound up with important events in all our lives. There is hardly a ceremony, whether personal or national, that is not accompanied by music. It may be as simple as the nightly ritual of a mother singing her baby to sleep or as formal as the playing of a national anthem. It may be a spontaneous outpouring of mass emotion, such as the spectators singing before a football game. The history of music is a part of the history of humanity. Piano lessons are probably the greatest gift that parents could give to their child. Many studies show that playing piano positively influences children’s coordination and concentration skills, develop better memory and vivid imagination. Children, who study music, attain higher self-esteem and self-discipline; learn how to interact better with others, not to mention the benefit of a higher appreciation of the arts.
Natalia Bogdanova, a pianist/chamber music soloist and piano teacher with over 25 years of professional experience, invites you to explore a wonderful World of Music in friendly atmosphere of her studio, located in West Ottawa (Kanata area).
