“Dr. Farouk is a highly responsible and wise educator. He is exceptionally skilled at identifying his students’ potential and setting approachable goals to challenge them to achieve. In his lessons, he is very knowledgeable and combines technique building, music theory, music history, and music interpretation. Dr. Farouk’s The Complete Pianist technical exercise is an excellent tool for me to continue building my techniques in daily practice and is extremely helpful in learning new repertoires.”
