Teaching

After completing my Master’s degree and several master classes in Europe and U.S.A., I devoted myself for many years to my own individual practice and career. These were years of travel, competitions, unforgettable experiences, carefully balanced with a fulfilling private life.

After the birth of my of my two children I decided to dedicate myself to teaching, without regret. At the beginning of this new journey I relied on my musical instinct and on the many theoretical methods I knew. 

Today, twenty-five years later, I think that theory and instinct should always be associated with respect for the student’s personality. Since every person assimilates in a different way, careful observation and listening can make the difference.

A good teacher doesn’t turn the student into his copy, but can accept differences and make them strong points. This requires flexibility and humility, both from student and teacher, because teaching is a mutual job, based on confidence and experience.

For both of them it’s a work in progress, the only dogma must be the respect for the music.

These didactic considerations arise from my continuous desire to deepen my teaching concepts.

Caterina Vivarelli is a strong pianist and a musicians of uncommon intelligence.

I remember especially her outstanding performance of the Beethoven's Diabelli Variations, which was distinguished by its clarity and organic coherence.

She's a pianist and musicians of stature.

Beethoven 33 Diabelli Variations, Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit and Chopin's Fourth Ballade:

three compositions that put to the test Miss Vivarelli’s

prodigious technique and her stylistic cleverness.

Caterina Vivarelli is without any doubt a prominent gifted concert artist

wich was proved both in Beethoven’s Variations and especially in Gaspard,

the latter performed with refined sonority and skilfull technique.

The esteemed pianist Caterina Vivarelli was the brilliant protagonist of the Jan Sibelius recital.

Miss Vivarelli's emotional tension was at its best in Debussy’s L'isle Joyeuse
in wich she put all her refined sonority and her rich phrasing, precious and impeccable:

a tension shared by the public who obtained with warm applauses two encores by Albeniz and Ginastera.

Elle est avant tout très musicienne, elle possède en outre une solide technique, beaucoup de sensibilité et un grand désir de tout approfondir.

Caterina Vivarelli proved with this recital her ability in penetratine with intelligent musicality

into Beethoven's style by giving a well balanced interpretation of the Sonata,

where a scholarly phrasing rich in brilliant transparencies was outstanding.
