A lesson with the Maestro: an overview of Constantin Sandu’s piano teaching

Summary/Abstract: Constantin Sandu is a Romanian-born piano teacher at the Escola Superior de Música e Artes do Espectáculo in Porto, Portugal. Having had the opportunity to follow his lessons for eight months as his assistant, I decided to write this article with two main objectives: to collect and give order to my experience as an apprentice and to try to briefly recount the human and professional story of a piano teacher, with the aim of describing and sharing, albeit briefly and in a non-exhaustive manner, his pedagogical method. A recount that can be a starting point for reflection on the role of a teacher and the importance it has for young people approaching the world of classical music.
