Irina Gorin’s Piano Course for Older Beginners
A step-by-step introduction to piano playing for teens and adults
This new piano method (English) by renowned piano pedagogue Irina Gorin is designed specifically for older beginners — teenagers and adults starting piano for the first time.
Based on the same teaching principles as her internationally known method for children, Tales of a Musical Journey, this book offers a clear and structured approach to learning the piano. Students are gradually introduced to musical concepts and playing techniques, with a strong focus on building solid foundations from the very beginning.
The course encourages regular lessons and consistent practice at home, helping learners make steady progress. In addition to technical development, students are guided to explore musical expression, creativity, and listening skills through a variety of styles and repertoire suggestions.
Irina Gorin was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and holds master’s degrees in Piano Performance, Piano Pedagogy, Chamber Ensemble, and Accompaniment. With over 40 years of teaching experience, she is recognized worldwide for her contributions to piano education and teacher training.
This course is ideal for:
– Adult or teenage beginners
– Students learning with a teacher
– Those looking for a gradual, musical, and well-paced introduction to the piano
