I'm a young musician who came to the United States from Russia to pursue a career in music. Currently I'm working on my degree in music performance at Fresno Pacific University. I also write my own music and am working on my debut album. Music is a really important part of my life and that's why I want to teach anyone who is interested in learning and understanding music. I strongly believe that everyone can play music no matter what age or skill level you are, I know that you can do it if you will be dedicated enough. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet

For beginner students, I will start by first teaching them the basic techniques of trumpet playing(i.e. proper breathing, posture, instrument holding, and buzzing techniques). After going through the basic techniques of trumpet playing, I will have my student work out the Sound Innovations for Concert Band method book. Once my student completely learns the first Sound Innovation method book and gets a grasp over the fundamentals of trumpet playing, I will introduce them to trumpet exercise books such as the Vizzutti, Arbans, and Clarke books among others to build upon the fundamental techniques that they have already developed.

My name is Marc and I am a choir teacher in Central California. As a motivated voice instructor, I enjoy working with all types of voices. As one of my voice teachers always stated, "Singing is a journey of self-discovery", and I get to help others on the journey. I have performed in various musical settings including musical theater, choir, opera, and with orchestra. I strive to make learning about the student (that makes learning more enjoyable, right?).

Advanced vocal students will always do warm-up exercises. There are certain books that are used that have scales and other things that make warming up artsy. The Vaccai exercise books are the best in that area of training. Whether voice, piano, organ or any other instrument, music theory is important. I will try to imcoporate music theory within each, as it is helpful in many areas, especially for advances students who will have to learn it as they progress in their studies. Read More

If a student isn't having fun learning, then I am not doing my job! My students are encouraged to participate in competitions and recitals, as well as working on their own material to have accomplishments to be proud of and stay motivated to learn more. I am always looking to bring on some more students that I can share my passion of music with and help them to achieve their musical goals. Read More
