Instruments: Piano Voice
This is because in my seven years of teaching I have observed that much of what students struggle with is habitual tension, whether physical or psychological. Therefore, it doesn't matter what kind of music a student wants to sing as long as they approach the material from a relaxed and grounded place physically and mentally. My students will not only take consistent lessons (properly customized to what they need to learn that month, week, or session) but they will actively seek out opportunities to perform what they have learned in a public setting.

I am a passionate and dedicated instructor, who has been working on training the voice for 9 years. In 2017, I graduated from Western Connecticut State University with a degree in Music, concentration in Classical Voice. From there Ive been working on my masters at the University of Bridgeport in Music Education. I will obtain that degree in December of 2019. I have had the opportunity to perform across the world, and it has been an amazing experience. Read More

Most recently, I served as a teacher in the Department of General and Specialized Piano at the Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine, teaching classics and jazz. I was the only teacher in the Academy who teaches improvisation. I have also written and published scientific articles, including "Theory of Music Harmony, Technique of Piano Performance, What is the Blues, and What is Jazz. I give master classes on music harmony and improvisation principles globally and teach in Russian, English, and French. Read More

I teach out of instructional books, notably books by Hal Leonard, Mel Bay, and Alfred. Sometimes, I use sheet music print outs, and draft up my own exercises. I go back in forth in a non-conventional manner, adapting accordingly to the student's needs. I like to incorporate exercises and warm ups to improve and enchance technique. I also teach songs that the student would like to learn. I'm very patient and rarely rigid in my approach, although I do stick to a general routine that allows a focused approach to learning.

I began my music teaching career about 9 years ago in a small school in the Bronx. I then moved to Houston Texas in 2011 where I taught music in a middle school for 3 years. After that I was teaching in groove music school in sugar land. Currently, I teach online lessons from my home studio. I make sure the students and I have the equipment necessary in order for our lessons to move smoothly. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Recorder Piccolo
My favorite thing about teaching is seeing the light in my students eyes in those "aha" moments when simple suggestions open up new possibilities of technique and musical expression. I offer both Suzuki and traditional style lessons. I believe lessons should be both challenging and fun and seek to find the right balance for each student. It is my job as a teacher to find out how each of my students learn and what inspires them. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
quality over quantity.
it's interesting to hear all these stories about people practicing 12 hours a day etc and believe me, I've been there too! But when you are a beginning students, all these things can sound very overwhelming.
My answer to this is: you can't practice 12 hours a day. You can play 12 hours a day, that's something else.
No matter how much time you have to practice, spend it well. Focus on just a couple of things over your practice time and focus on just 1 idea at a time. You will experience that this is the best practice you can get.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This depends on what instrument your child wants to learn.
Very young children need to be big enough to hold and play an instrument. This is why children can start earlier with for example percussion lessons.
Some children show interest by themselves, they start hitting pots and pans, start singing and dancing, or start imitating playing an instrument.
If you are not certain if your child is ready to start lessons, you can always contact a professional teacher and she or he will have the best advice ready.
When will I start to see results?
If the student starts from scratch, progress will be seen on a weekly basis.
For intermediate and advanced students, it depends on what material they are learning. Some etudes might take up to a few weeks, month, to show clear results of progress.
Seeing results is the combination of having a good teacher and being a good student.
When you get lessons taught the correct way, and you practice the correct way, progress will naturally be seen.
It also depends in the individual, some people are quick, some people are slower. And it's good to know that this has not so much to do with talent! I can be just a phase!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My father was my first music teacher. He taught me the basics of the clarinet, drums and theory. He taught me how to read music before I went to the local music school. He inspired me by transferring his passion and love for music and art. Getting the right positive feedback was very motivating. Because he was also a high level performing musicians, I believe he knew his craft so well that he could even give me some life lessons at a very young age. And this very last thing is what inspires me the most. When I teach, I'm aiming for that as well!
