Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Bass Guitar Synthesizer Ukulele Keyboard
My preferred piano method is Piano Adventures and I recommend using the Lesson, Theory, and Sight Reading books at each level. For guitar and voice I typically do not follow any specific method unless the student has a preference. For more advance piano students I typically will begin using Suzuki or move them to Burgmller Etudes and Schumann's Opus 68 - Album for the Young. I perform an assessment of new students in the areas of sight reading, music theory, rhythm, performance, and ear training. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I began teaching a few beginner-level students during my first few years of college, and I have taught at the Bach to Rock music schools, and found that I enjoyed building new musicians. I like to emphasize the benefits of consistent, focused practice, especially to my beginner students, as well as the importance of proper warm-up activities. While I believe that music students should learn what they can of the vast and beautiful classical repertoire, it is also important that they are given the opportunity to learn songs and pieces that are important or interesting to them.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola
I have 8 years of teaching experience. Actually I was very busy performing but I found some time to deliever this passion of mine to the young generations because they are the real future, for a better world. How we can achieve this? By making them being in contact with music, with arts, literature, nature and by teaching them how to love their families and friends! Only this way the world will be a better place to live for the next generations. Read More
Instruments: Piano
It's most rewarding when my student's display those "ah ha!" moments during lessons. It shows me that they not only understand the material, but that they care about what it is they are learning by striving to improve. I also believe it's important for them to feel that what they are participating in is a worthwhile activity that is not only fun but rewarding to explore. Also making sure they recognize the importance of practice by pointing out how their improvements are the result of their hard work. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music Keyboard
I have taught music for over 20 years; it is a profession that I love passionately. My students include adult beginners, students ages 7-17, and intermediate and advanced students of all ages. I am drawn to the possibilities teaching presents to discover music together with another person. Each musical soul is unique and that means the teaching process if full of discoveries and wonder at every lesson. While many of my students take piano for personal enjoyment, I am also an experienced college teacher. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Teaching is my passion! Currently I work as a teacher at Washington Japanese school and other music organization and am very comfortable to work for kids. I love to find their music talent and develop their piano skill and expression. I gained my piano skill by taking 12 year private lessons. My piano and Russian language skill enabled me to work with Russian musicians. Especially in 1996 I worked as an interpreter/assistant for Master class lessons by Prof. Read More

I have always been passionate about the role music can play in the lives of people of any age, and have enjoyed numerous opportunities to be a part of the music education of many. My experience includes eleven years of private teaching combined with professional performance experience around the world. I have a pedagogical approach to teaching that I like to combine with the specific interests and needs of the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My mother and grandmother were concert pianists and Victor Borge a great uncle do music was always in my blood. I also chose the violin because I heard Isaac Stern with the Boston Symphony play the Brahms Violin Concerto when I was in sixth grade and I asked my parents why hearing it made me cry. I realized then there was beauty and feeling in music and it was something I knew I had to have and have been with ever since
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
The most important thing was right after my father died I had a chance to perform a solo at Carnegie Hall and it brought such happiness to my mother. Anther time was when I received an award from President Clinton for keeping children off drugs through music. I am also so proud of my students snd what they went on to accomplish
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On violin it would be smoothness snd not to fear higher positions. On the piano not to be overwhelmed by the number of keys. Some young ones feel scared because they have such little fingers
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had students win scholarships to private school and colleges. Three students were chosen to perform at Disney World for a backtrack of music being recorded for a musical. Several have performed at the White House and several around the world. I am proud of them all actually.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes. I had a teacher that was never mad even if I made a mistake and this was at the z conservatory level. Instead she would tell me to watch a particular finger or spend more time on a phrase but she was never angry.
When will I start to see results?
I ascertain that there is something positive at the first lesson. It might be as simple as how well the child sits at the piano or how nicely the child holds a bow. My lessons are all taught in a very positive way.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
It is not about the quantity of time you practice but the quality of time you do practice. A person that practiced two hours may not be practicing effectively while a person practicing only a half an hour might be practicing utilizing all corrections and style. Time does not mean quality.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If he/she has an awareness of the particular instrument and requests to play. It is not what the parent wants but what the child wants. This is something I discuss with a parent before the first lesson
