This fundamental question is the starting point of this research on one of the most relevant aspects of piano teaching, and on one of the most prominent representatives of 20th century pedagogy: Leonid Nikolaevich Sintsev (1944-2008). The search for a sound of vocal inspiration, consciously constructed and of high quality, guides his pedagogical work at all times. A brief tour of the methodologies of the most recognized pedagogues of the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in the Russian context, allows us to understand his methodology in greater depth. The figure of this great pedagogue is exciting and captivating due to his holistic approach to understanding and addressing the teaching-learning and growth process –both musical and experiential– of a student body to whom L. N. Sintsev paid attention in all aspects of education. life. However, his objective was not only to train pianists but, above all, good people. And in art, more than in any other discipline, it is essential to work on the richness of the spirit and the goodness of the soul.
