Instruments: Piano Guitar
It is of upmost importance that I tailor my teaching method to my student's learning pace and their ability to comfortably grasp that particular instrument's technique. One of my strongest traits is my patience with students of young ages. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Fun, encouraging, and a huge fan of positive reinforcement. The student is led to focus more on learning and exploring the music more than focusing on the presence of the pacing of classes which has proven to greatly reduce pressure. Read More

I am a life time piano player. Start music at the age of 6, play piano ever since. Was performing extensively as a gifted young pianist. Stop concert activity later at time. Moved to USA from Moscow (Russia) in 1990. Completed my education at Lehman College with MS in Music pedagogy in 2006. Was on board with "MUSIKA" during 2003-2005 (not sure).

During my undergraduate education at Baylor University I began teaching drum set and percussion to middle and high school aged students. During my time at Rutgers I took on many students of all ages on drum set and piano and I have been teaching consistently ever since. For all my students my focus is on listening, reading, and experimentation. Listening to all kinds of music helps develop your musical ear and your intuition. Read More

If, for example, you already know how to play the piano, but you want to be better at it, I will help you and teach you what ever I feel can help you become an even better pianist. Read More

I began teaching in 2010 and quickly realized that there is nothing better than to able to take what I know and pass it on to others. I have years of experience when working with children, young adults, and Adults. I try to encourage a practice schedule thats corresponds to the realities of other commitments outside of music and I also try to encourage creating a personal schedule for setting musical goals and life goals.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My music degree, on paper, says "B.A. in Music from Bard College." Bard is a fairly small liberal arts college with a wide offering of studies with a somewhat limited offering of degree titles. If I could change my degree to reflect more accurately what I studied, it would probably say something like 'B.A. in saxophone performance and composition with a concentration in Jazz.' The reason I walked away from Bard with the vague "B.A. in Music" was because I knew I had to study music and I knew it couldn't be at a music school. I have other areas of academic interests that would have languished at a New School or a Berklee College of Music where one's only serious focus is on music. I credit my ability to write and speak clearly, as well as to communicate effectively with others, to my time at Bard. I also credit my saxophone playing and general musicianship to my time at Bard.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Without question, my favorite style of music to play is Jazz. Jazz is heavily improvised, as everyone knows, but it is hardly random. There are certain strictures and conventions that most jazz musicians abide by to a certain extent, and in this way it is similar to classical music. But it differs in that the jazz musician is successful when originality and creativity has been achieved, not perfection. To admit perfection would be to deny the years and years of expanding improvisational possibilities that we all know are still before us as jazz musicians. Those years of learning and improvement to come make us hungry and make jazz a truly sustainable, life long art form.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
My first instrument was actually the piano, so my second instrument, the saxophone, is what I actually consider to be my main instrument. But I took piano lessons for 8 years, so I certainly have some piano skills as well. The reason I chose to learn clarinet and most recently the flute (still a work in progress) is, frankly, to be a more versatile, marketable, woodwind player. The reality is that in this day and age, those wind players who can double, triple, quadruple, etc. get more gigs. I consider myself like that I actually love the timber of the flute and clarinet (especially bass clarinet), so learning them isn't just a job requirement but is also of personal interest to me.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
Like a lot of major life decisions, I think I had all the motivation and daydreaming to decide to become a professional musician well before I actually decided to. Even as a sophomore in high school, I knew that nothing excited me the way that learning jazz saxophone did. Not english, history, politics, track, or basketball—all things a truly enjoyed. But even by the time I was applying for colleges I thought I would go in as a literature major and add a major in music if I thought I could handle it. But by the end of my freshman year in college, I knew I would graduate as a music major. I'd say my title as 'professional musician' is a consequence of my need to play music in life, and the resulting lack of preparation of making a living some other way.
