World-class piano lessons – from beginners to concert musicians   

Masterclass Juni 2 - 9

Music knows no boundaries 

Professor Lobanov and his assistant, Alina Bemert, extend a warm welcome to students from all around the world. A lack of sufficient German skills should not be an obstacle for young aspiring talents. At the Hennef Pianoacademy, students are free to choose whether they prefer to speak German, English or Russian during lessons.

 If any of the following applies to you, Professor Lobanov represents the ideal teacher for you:

- You are preparing for studies at a Music-High-School
- You wish to complete your course of studies as a pianist with Professor Lobanov
- You have completed your studies as pianist and wish to hone your skills, lending your playing that last layer of polish

Because of his long years of experience as a Music-High-School Cologne professor, Professor Lobanov is intimately acquainted with what is needed to pass the entrance auditions for piano study. He prepares his students thoroughly and helps them study the works they will be performing in the audition in depth. Studies with Lobanov will give you the best chances of being accepted to the Hochschule of your choice. 

The Hennef Music Academy offers many benefits, particularly for students from abroad. Students are able to dedicate their entire time and attention to their main course of studies – piano – without any bureaucratic hurdles standing in their way, and they are not required to spend valuable time preparing for the German language exam or with mandatory music theory studies like they are at any regular German Hochschule. 

Even after attaining a conservatory degree, pianists are far from finished with their work. Professor Lobanov provides support for pianists who hold a degree as they travel along their continuing musical path. Whether you are preparing for a solo concert or a competition, the Hennef Music Academy is the right place for you.

The Hennef Music Academy is also the right educational institution for you if you 

- want to provide your child with a preeminent piano education
- are an adult who enjoys playing piano as a hobby and are striving to reach a high level of artistry 

Music enriches people’s lives and opens the door to a world of spiritual and emotional experiences beyond the day-to-day. Anyone can enter this world if they are ready to open themselves up to it, to listen and watch closely. It is particularly important in today’s world – where rational and technology-related skills are encouraged in schools and professional life above many other things – not to neglect the other side of human nature. Actively pursuing music through playing an instrument lays the groundwork for artistic experiences and increases social competency. 

Your child will thank you later if you give him or her the gift of a well-grounded musical education. It is especially important if your child exhibits above-average talent to encourage that talent and enable your child to have an adequate course of musical studies with the best teachers. 

But for adults, too, who never had the good fortune of being able to learn a musical instrument in their youth, it is never too late. Alina Bemert helps children, youth and adult beginners to overcome the initial hurdles and develop their capabilities, leading them along a sound path to more expressive and convincing high-level pianistic facility.
