Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Ukulele Music Acoustic Guitar
I'm a passionate teacher who loves working with students of all levels and share my love for music. In 2008, I graduated from Russian Academy of Theatre Arts with a Bachelor of Arts in Musical Theatre. Since that time I performed all over the world as a leading soloist in the shows of Sambateria World Music Orquestra, Spanish Dance Theater Flamenco Live, Gypsy Soul Show. I recorded the album of old Spanish and Sephardic songs "Andalusia" and soon I release the album of my songs in a World Music style. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Cello
Have fun. Love what you do. If it stops being fun push a little further ahead and see what happens. All it takes is a little ember to start a fire and I am ready to help my students find that fire within themselves. Its not always going to be easy and they will fall and stumble and when that does happen (and it will) I will be there to show them how to pick themselves up. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Acoustic Guitar
I started teaching in 2018, soon after moving to LA a few weeks after I graduated from Berklee College Of Music. I started out teaching at music schools, and would often have up to 30 students in a week. I would have weekly lessons with my students, prepare them for their annual recitals, and communicate with parents after their child's progress. More recently I have been teaching in-person lessons at my student's houses, as well as doing virtual lessons, which has been a incredibly rewarding experience. Read More

Instruments: Voice
During my lessons, I like to create an environment free of judgment, embarrassment, inhibition, self-doubt, and any other emotion or thought, internal or external that is going to deter my students from becoming the best singers possible. Im always open to try different techniques and approaches in order to allow my students to open to me and to the music. Singing is one of the most therapeutic practices anyone can experience because the music is literally running in and out of your body. Read More
Instruments: Drums Orchestral Percussion

I'veworked or recorded with such artists as Bill Cunliffe, Bob Sheppard, John Patitucci, Eddie Harris, Tony Malaby, Putter Smith, Eric Marienthal, Larry Koonse, Darek Oles, Steve Cardenas, Scott Colley, Alan Broadbent, Gary Foster, and Alan Pasqua to name just a few.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
For beginning piano students, I love using Alfred lesson books. I like focusing on scales and using proper technique. For violin, I like using Suzuki, but I dont use Suzuki method. Focus is on scales and simple solo rep. I encourage composition at all ages and love finding a system that works for the individual student. Regular practice is encouraged. I am big on positive reinforcement and will be my students biggest cheerleader, even when I need to get firm about techniques. Read More
Instruments: Bass Guitar
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I already performed it- Portrait of Tracy, a solo piece by Jaco Pastorius. I was asked to perform it at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston for the 1993 Bass Day performances. An amazing experience to perform it for over 3000 people.
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 performance degree from the Berklee College of Music. I chose performance because there was so much playing involved and the constant interaction with other musicians was immensely necessary in evolving to the level I sought after.
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 lot of the Berklee music books i have at my fingertips, Also I use the Jerry Bergonzi Inside Improvisation series which is so rich in content that you are amazed every time you work out of it then put it into place on the bandstand.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is to be able to play exactly what your hearing. That takes hours of performing, transcribing, and working hard where you're able to play exactly what you're hearing.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Soon to be released is a recording I did with some great LA and NY musicians and we were able to accomplish musically exactly what we wanted. Also, at Berklee I was able to play a lot with Antonio Sanchez, who is Pat Matheny's drummer. Also playing with Mahesh Balisoorio, an amazing pianist who has played with some of the best in Jazz. Also I got the chance to play with Danny Carrey- Tool's drummer.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I've had two students graduate from Berklee College of Music and go on to professional music careers. Also students who, graduated Cal Arts, Oberlin Conservatory, and North Texas State- of the best music colleges in the world. .
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I first started going around the house playing a rubber band and singing bass lines, then I had a friend who was a bass player and he lent me an instrument and just love the sound of the bass...
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad inspired me to go into music because he was a musician and started me out on the baritone horn, I then changed to trumpet in the 5th grade and my band teacher Mr. Baxter had multitudes of inspiration for me to continue my musical journey.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Repetition is key to forming the musical chops, muscle memory, and complete understanding of the use of concepts and approaches. Also, concentrated and aware practice keeps you sharp and up on ideas, and improv.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
One way to tell is if they are singing, banging out rhythms on anything available to them. Also, if they start to ask questions about how to do things musical I think that is a good indication they are ready for lessons.
When will I start to see results?
Some results you will start to see right away, others may take a week or so, and advance techniques may take months at a time. The results are sometimes difficult to see yourself, that's where the teacher's experience comes in.
