Become 10x more efficient, increase your technique and reach piano virtuosity through science, method, and psychology.

After years and years of study, I often felt left alone to figure out how to solve problems, trying and retrying, looking for DIY technical solutions—even reading books on piano technique. It was like trying to navigate a stormy sea without a compass, searching for the right course only through trial and error. The result was clinging to faded memories of my conservatory training, relying on automatic habits—bad habits, really—that I couldn’t see at the time, and that I later realized were the very limits holding back my technical and interpretative progress. I only became fully aware of this later, after the despair of failing my 8th-year exam under the old system pushed me to seek help from PianoPro. In just two months, PianoPro—with targeted sessions—helped me reorganize my study of Chopin’s Op. 10 No. 3, focusing on biomechanics, functional movements for specific technical passages, and above all on the musical result I wanted to achieve. Michelangelo also has deep knowledge of communication and psychology, which are at the core of teaching piano performance. PianoPro brings these two worlds together, creating an emergent quality that is far more than the sum of its parts. Like oxygen and hydrogen which, together, don’t remain separate but form bonds to create water—an element with extraordinary properties, able to adapt to the environment it’s in. That is exactly what PianoPro does: it breaks the dogmas of traditional piano schools and stays flexible, choosing the right approach based on the piece and the pianist’s unique characteristics. The cross-pollination of skills is perhaps the most surprising gift PianoPro has given me, and today I consider it a lifelong partner in my pianistic journey.
