Final Exam Aleksandra Tepliakova - Classical Piano

My name is Aleksandra, and I am a pianist, ensemble performer, and teacher. Originally from Russia, I am currently pursuing my second master's degree in the Netherlands, where I am embracing new experiences and cultural differences.

As a musician, I find the journey both challenging and fascinating, offering many opportunities for learning and growth. Living abroad has allowed me to explore new facets of myself, both as a pianist and as an individual. During my time in Russia, I spent five years teaching at a music school, where I discovered my passion for guiding students on their journey to mastering the piano. While teaching has become my primary focus, performing on stage remains an integral part of my life.

In my upcoming concert, I'll be tackling some particularly challenging pieces. As someone with small hands, I often encounter difficulties in piano playing, but I see these challenges as opportunities for growth. This motivates me to continually explore techniques to overcome the obstacles I encounter. I'm excited to share my journey with you, demonstrating my determination to overcome challenges and showcasing how I've grown and improved as a pianist.
