Development of the piano performing school in the Republic of Kazakhstan (1980-2016)

Abstract

The piano school in the Republic of Kazakhstan began to be formed in the 30s of the last century, in connection with the accession of Kazakhstan to Russia. Prior to this period, the piano education was of a nature of amateur music making, and learning to play the instrument was carried out privately. For less than 100 years the piano school of Kazakhstan has reached a high level: the names of Kazakh pianists - Guldana Zholymbetova, Zhaniya Aubakirova, Amir Tebenikhin, Yerzhan Temirzhanov, Gulzhamilya Kadyrbekova and others - are known abroad. Pianists perform in the most prestigious concert halls in the world.
