Acknowledgements

Of course, like everything that exists in this world, this method could not exist without the support and kindness of many other people. We would like to mention them here.

We are grateful:

(From Nadya :)

• Shatkovsky, Grigory Ivanovich, for opening me a new path in teaching.

• To my mother, a music teacher, for her love for music, which she was able to pass on to us children.

• Makurenkova, Elena Petrovna, for help, support and faith in success.

• To fellow colleagues: Lida Petrova, Irina Sorokina and Tamara Korosteleva for friendship and support.

• Khidekel, Marina Davydovna, the first director of the Chernogolovka Music School, for her support and creation of environment for working with young musicians.

(From Anatoly:)

• Parents, Vika and Vanya. Firstly, they gave birth, secondly, they raised me, and, thirdly, they always supported me.

• Grandma Tanya. After all, it was thanks to her that I heard the first sounds of classical music, and it was she who took me to Nadya for my first music lessons.

• The whole family. Every person in my large family somehow influenced my development, and without this I would not have become what I am. I lived in a house with an "extended" family, and so from the very beginning I saw many different characters around me.

• Of course, Nadya Matsaeva. If not for her, none of this would be here.

• To all my other teachers. If not for them, I would not have been able to continue to develop the musical foundation that Nadya laid in me at the very beginning.

• To all my musical colleagues. Thank you for your support, criticism, and, in general, the tremendous influence of your colossal personalities, both musical and in general.

• To all my friends. Not all of my friends are associated with music. Since I grew up in a family where everyone was mainly engaged in science and not art, I always felt that I needed to do more than just music. It is very interesting for me to talk with close people on various interesting topics. Thank you all.

• I also want to thank not only all the people I have encountered in my life, but also the animals that I have become closely acquainted with, starting with the cat Mickey.
