Rick's teaching method has proven itself over the years to give maximum playing results with minimum practice for the piano student. One of the main philosophies of his method is that the student cannot be limited to a set book method to learn piano. The lesson is divided into 16 separate music categories which are customized to the student's age and level. Each student has their own combination of music subjects that fits their musical needs and learning curve. In this way, the student reaches their maximum potential and is motivated to practice the piano at their own pace. As a student progresses through the method, they will develop a combination of music called the "centralization" in which the student plays their favorite music. The diversity of music subjects gives the student the opportunity to see what kind of music they excel in while making the student work on their weaker points. This system of teaching was developed while attending music school studying under many great professors and musicians. By learning under many different teaching styles, Rick developed this method which is both contemporary and functional for the student to learn. As a performing artist, Rick tries to pick the best songs from each period of music that he thinks the student will enjoy performing. The teaching method itself is based on a visual array of color codes, symbols and icons to help the student learn faster without the frustration that normally comes from traditional approaches. Besides practicing the song, the student is given a background on the piece which gives the student a better understanding of how to practice the song. Practicing is an important concept that the student must do in order to be proficient at the piano. Specialized practice sheets show the student how to practice the piano piece in sections. This assures that the student's attention span will not be diminished. The advanced technological approaches used at the studio help to communicate the process and concepts more quickly to the student so that they can play cutting edge pieces without having to wait years (as most traditional teachers tell their students).

Official Wikipedia
Sir Elton Hercules John (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight; 25 March 1947) is a British singer, pianist and composer. Collaborating with lyricist Bernie Taupin since 1967, John has sold over 300 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He is the most successful solo artist in the history of the U.S. Billboard charts. Acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his work during the 1970s and for his lasting impact on the music industry, his music and showmanship have had a significant impact on popular music. His songwriting partnership with Taupin is one of the most successful in history. John has more than fifty Top 40 hits in the UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Hot 100, including nine number ones in the UK and US, as well as seven consecutive number-one albums in the US. His tribute single to Princess Diana, "Candle in the Wind 1997", a rewritten version of his 1974 single, sold over 33 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling chart single of all time. In 2021, he became the first solo artist with UK Top 10 singles across six decades.John was raised in the Pinner suburb of London and learned to play piano at an early age, winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied for five years. He formed the blues band Bluesology in 1962, but left it in 1967 to embark on a solo career. John met Taupin after they both answered an advert for songwriters. For two years, they wrote songs for other artists, and John worked as a session musician. John released his debut album Empty Sky in 1969, and a year later formed the Elton John Band and released his first hit single, "Your Song". John's critical success was at its peak in the 1970s, when he released a streak of chart-topping albums in the US and UK, which began with Honky Château (1972) and culminated with Rock of the Westies (1975). John continued his success in the 1980s and 1990s, having several hit singles and albums in both decades, and has continued to record new music since then. He has also had success in musical films and theatre, composing music for The Lion King, Aida, and Billy Elliot the Musical. In 2018, John began his ongoing farewell tour Farewell Yellow Brick Road, which is scheduled to conclude in 2023. His life and career were dramatised in the 2019 biopic Rocketman. Outside of music, John is an HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser and has been involved in the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s. He established the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992, which has raised over £300 million since its inception, and a year later he began hosting his annual AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Party, which has since become one of the biggest high-profile Oscar parties in the Hollywood film industry. John was the chairman and director of Watford F.C, from 1976 to 1987, and again from 1997 to 2002, and is an honorary life president of the club. From the late 1970s to the late 1980s, John developed a severe addiction problem to drugs and alcohol, but has been sober since 1990. Having been with Canadian filmmaker David Furnish since 1993, they entered into a civil partnership in 2005 and married in 2014 after same-sex marriage became legal in England and Wales.John has received numerous awards, including five Grammy Awards, five Brit Awards; including for Outstanding Contribution to Music; two Academy Awards, two Golden Globes, a Tony Award, a Laurence Olivier Award, a Disney Legend Award, and the Kennedy Center Honor. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and is a fellow of The Ivors Academy. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to music and charitable services in 1998, and was appointed a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) in 2020.
