INFORMATION ABOUT THE AUTHORS
What are the key benefits of creativity in piano education as discussed by Dr. Anna Arpyev in her presentation?
As the website editor for world-today-news.com, I am pleased to present an interview with two esteemed guest speakers who recently participated in the VI International Scientific and Practical Conference “Piano Education.
