Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar
My teaching experience dates back to Ukraine, as I began teaching private lessons part time 11 years ago. Since moving to North Carolina I've been teaching in different schools as well as private lessons. I still teach a student who has been with me for 8 years ! My goal is to help students to find their own path in the musical journey. Once you find it you will enjoy practicing, listening, playing and performing the music for the rest of your life !

Instruments: Guitar Trumpet Trombone Ukulele
I started giving trombone lessons to grade and high school student's since 2005. In 2006 I started leading concert and jazz bands. Immediately out of college in 2008 I worked as a music teacher teaching guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and voice for 3 years. In 2011, I moved to Peru where I was the #1 on call jazz trombonist in Lima, and was a trombone professor at the National Conservatory of music where I taught trombone technique and jazz improvisation.

Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginning students, I typically start with materials from Mel Bay or Hal Leonard. Once a student has completed this, I begin to offer materials that are more specific to the musical genre that they have stated interest in. As a student progresses, I work to expose them to a variety of techniques with a focus on helping them to develop their own unique voice on their instrument. My hope is that, during this process, students would come to view growing in their musical gifts as an enjoyable and fulfilling process that continues throughout their life. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Mallet Percussion Electric Guitar
My experience takes me straight out of high school. I have been a drum tech at West Johnston High School since Fall of 2015. Since then I've risen in the ranks and have taken a much bigger role. In between all of that, I've all taught at Wake Christian Academy as Percussion director for about a year. I've given a couple of students from that school private lessons and I've encouraged all of them to become better and more educated in the marching arts! Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I teach harmony, rhythm, technique, melody, and basic sight reading by a two fold approach. First is to really feel into the music. This means learning to listen deeply with curiosity, intention, respect, and joy bringing the meaning of play into every aspect of learning. The second part is to begin with the basics of music theory by grounding fully into the fundamentals. Learning to work in forms that may seem like an alien language at first but when systematically approached with patience, dedication, and a spirit of playfulness and fun will open up and begin to reveal paths into learning and understanding that will greatly increase ones ability to engage in all musical forms.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I've been a music lover for as long as I can remember. I began playing guitar at age 13 and have continued to play for the past eleven years. I have been in numerous bands and played hundred of shows in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and all around the state. I play acoustic and electric guitar as well as keyboard-piano. I have years of experience giving guitar lessons as well as recording music in my studio. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Viola Ukulele Music Acoustic Guitar
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was just a decision that happened from one moment to another because I started to play when I was 9, I said to myself "I am already on this, so let's do it perfectly" and here I am 16 years after that moment.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a Lawyer. It is a very different area, but I really like to make justice for people, I have the capacity to see different points of view at the same time, but I love my career and I would not change it for anything else.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have gotten 100% of the scholarship on my Bachelor's degree at the Universidad de Chile and now I got also 100% of the scholarship on my Artist Diploma Program at Duquesne University.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Yes, my family is very musical people, all of them play at least one musical instrument, I think my talent comes from there so. It is very funny to make music together.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Constant practice and motivation. I think it is a very important fact to improve, and also it is hard to have constant motivation sometimes, with all our problems, or distractions...
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I already performed this piece, it is the Brahms Violin Concerto in D minor.
I love this piece since I am very young, and it is because it has many contrasts, melodic and beautiful parts that touch the soul of people. It is just wonderful.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Any child can start to have lessons, in different levels of learning. There exist lessons of pre-violin or pre-music if the child is too young, and it is good for them to know the music world.
When will I start to see results?
I would say after the first month of lessons, overall my students are ready to play easy songs on the violin. It depends also on how much time the student practices at home.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
A student needs to know first how much time he/she has for practicing, after that, to select what pieces they will practice. Put a timing for each piece and practice slowly. Repeating, and doing it by short spots.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I am specialized in classical music, and I love it. All the history that is behind all that music is very unique, and I like to know the history of each piece I have to play.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Yes, I have had successful students that have had awards in scholarships to buy their own instrument, that have been selected in advanced orchestras of the music school and they have the principal positions there. Also, they have played as a soloist with the orchestra of the music school.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a Bachelor's degree in Music Performance on violin, and fine arts, and I am also a candidate for a certificate of an Artist Diploma Program. I choose music because it is beautiful, the role of music on society, it is very important and it is unique.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I really do not know, it came to my head as a vision. I do not even remember where I saw it first, but one day I thought about that instrument, and I never forget about it.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first violin teacher had a lot of patience with me, he was always explaining everything in a very detailed way and he showed us many beautiful things about music and its function in the lives of the people.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
First of all, organization of all you have to practice and timing of that and make repetitions of short spots of music. Also, it is important to practice slowly.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Yes, I use a mixed-method based on Suzuki, and I use also my own methodology, I paint also the music for younger students and I sing with them a lot. I use the Suzuki books, Fiddle time joggers, and Laoureaux.
