Edolcest Piano
The name ‘Edolcest’ creatively plays on the Italian word ‘dolce,’ meaning sweetly, incorporating the first three letters of Teacher Esther’s name. The positioning of ‘dolce’ within ‘e,’ ‘s,’ and ‘t’ symbolises the core approach of Esther’s piano instruction, emphasising the production of beautiful tone and idiomatic performances across all genres.
