In 1997 Terziev moved to Edmonton where he was appointed teaching assistant in piano at the University of Alberta. After receiving his Master's, he became a faculty member of Lakeland College in Lloydminster and Visionary College in St. Albert. Since 2002 he has been living in British Columbia. Dimiter teaches piano and music rudiments at the United Conservatory of Music in Kamloops, Vernon Community Music School a private studio in Ashcroft.
"Each piano student is unique, and his/her teacher's flexibility is vital. One student just wants to have fun playing "Loony Tunes" or "Amazing Grace", another - a Beethoven sonata or a Chopin ballade. In the world of music there is enough space for both, and they both deserve the same level of respect and encouragement. I really enjoy the diversity of goals and abilities in my piano class, and I would hate to limit myself to only one way of teaching. What gives me a great joy is the feeling that I have contributed to the music sensitivity and knowledge of my students.
In a nutshell, my piano teaching can be summarized by two ancient proverbs:
"TO TEACH MEANS TO LEARN"
and
"A STUDENT IS NOT LIKE A POT THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED, BUT LIKE A CANDLE THAT NEEDS TO BE LIGHTED"
I strive to be a teacher who supports the individuality, and tries to help each student to fulfill his/her own dream in the field of music."
