About Us
Our Story and BiosOur vision
…for developing a great piano method led us to years of research, writing materials, practical applications of sensory integration concepts and conveying our own skills as concert pianists for our students. What is essentially different here is that we combined our 45 years EACH of mostly joint experience teaching and performing with daily interaction and review. This synergistic approach has benefitted scores of students and several affiliated teachers.
We continue to question the status quo and discover better ways to teach. We thrive on incorporating new exercises and techniques in our books as we revise them. We are huge technical gurus and students get technical exercises from the very first lessons. With great technique, one can play just about anything!
The Silva Piano Method is the standard of excellence for piano training. The goal is to get it in the hands of anyone who wants to learn to play the piano world wide.
