Instruments: Piano Voice
I try to find out what each student is interested in and I guide them from there. I like to encourage each students unique style. I make sure the music is appropiate for the age and level of each student. I believe in positive reinforcement with productive vocal exercises to build on their strengths and improve their weaknesses. Read More
Instruments: Piano
My background in classical piano gives me a strong foundation for successful piano education. I refer to the classic Russian method of piano technique and provide the student with confidence in sight reading as well as a strong understanding of music theory. My students have ranged from ages 5 to 65! I work at the student's pace, am generous with my time, provide a fun and relaxed learning atmosphere, and makes sure each person walks away from his or her lesson feeling inspired. Read More

The first teaching concept I focus on is the capacity to produce great sounds with the least amount of effort. Therefore I spend some time in getting the student to play very relaxed to create a relationship with body and mind, I believe music is an extension of the body and so if the mind and body are relaxed then music will come out flawless. We will use students ideas of songs they are interested in learning as well as some of my own suggestions for repertoire. Read More

I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music.

I've also had the experience of traveling to and performing in 45 different countries. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola
I don't have a singular method because every student is different. At the beginning of my lessons with a new student we will begin getting to know each other. Then we try different things. Some students are naturals at imitating what they hear, so we play to those strengths. Other students are more comfortable with structure and math, so we take that route instead. What I find most important is being flexible. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a musician in high school. Yes it was gradual decision for me. A lot was involved into it. But i like my choice.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Probably some average job. I always work hard no matter what i do. I encourage my students to do the same to get the meaning of it.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical style is my favorite. Because it has a rich variety and a lot of space to explore. And i share this space with my students too.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play only keyboard instrument. I decided to stay with keyboards. Whether its electrical or real piano. I had enough work with it to develop myself. Now i teach and develop others.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My family members are in Russia and they are not very much into music. My mother knows some basics of the piano and my dad plays guitar a little.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My drean piece is Alkan ouverture. Because its melodic, romantic, hard to play. I like challenging pieces . Hopefully in the future i will achieve it. I also can teach it.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Mine is performance and i was taught to teach too. I chose it because i wanted to apply my skills and practice. And i think it worked.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice is to be masterclass pianist. Students dont have to do it if they dont want. I play scales 100s of times daily and when i m not playing i listen to piano music to keep my mind with piano continiously.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use russian method of teaching approach. Then we begin to study Hannon virtuoso pianist book. I studied it myself when i was a student . I still use it for my practises.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest will be left hand passages. Relationship between mind and feel for the hand. It will be accomplished with time. Its a gradual process. I think piano is longest instrument to learn.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
We studied to know and to learn. We didnt focuse on winning. They succeeded by practicing hard, following instructions, picking up their own way. My success came through enormous hard work.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Immense practice achievements, strohg opera knowledge, biigraphies of composets, feeling for each piece, love to play and to listen. Proud of my memory to remember thoudands of pages of music.
When will I start to see results?
After every practice. Like me every day. I practice all the time and still improving. To feel piano better, to listen to hear new varieties of sound.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes my last teacher from princeton. He showed me new ways to play. Still following rules and classical traditions. After i practiced hundreds of hours i decided to continue to this day!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano and music education was the only talent and passion i had for. It just came naturally. I played since kindergarten. Now i perform often and have a lot of students to teach.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Follow instructions closely. Always communicate with teacher. Love what you do. Understand the importance of it. I study 12 hours a day 6 days a week. I m willing to put my progress in my students.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
At 4 years old is normal to start. But you can start anytime. Its never too late. Discuss with your kid that it could be hard sometimes. Piano is the hardest instrument of all. But together we will get it!
