Instruments: Piano Trombone Euphonium Tuba Keyboard
With my wind instrument and percussion students, I like to start with a method book. My favorites include Essential Elements and Standard of Excellence. I find that, especially for younger students, this is a great way to introduce beginner theory while learning to apply it to their playing. I spend a great deal of time discussing the importance of breath and practicing breathing gym exercises. My piano method book of choice varies depending on the skill level of the student. Read More

I believe that the role of a teacher is to guide and to help their students to develop a lifelong love of learning. I offer my students a balanced approach in learning music. I believe anyone can be taught to play an instrument at any age, if genuine interest is there. With more than 5 years of teaching piano working with children and adults, I hope I can help you or your child appreciate and grow the love of music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard
They must also be allowed to be creative, explore and experiment with new ideas, as well as make and learn from their mistakes. With higher cognitive applications, students must be able to learn how to solve and overcome problem tasks, as well as apply critical thinking and supported with justified solutions. The end product of successful teaching is when the learner or student is able to utilize and apply the fundamentals of what have been taught to higher levels of learning, while achieving their maximum and fullest potential lifelong learning goals.

For beginning students I use the Bastien System. For Adults, I use The Alfred Adult beginner for Piano Lessons. I try to adapt the method to the skill of the student, which incorporates my own system, based on years of teaching. I teach according to the student;s skill, and at their own pace. I sometimes use the Trinity College of Music, london, syllabus. Classes consist of warming up exercises, then the student works on the music assigned and the Instructor gives it a grade. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am a highly organized, outcome-driven and motivated professional piano teacher with solid experience. In 1994 I graduated from Music College in Tumen, Russia, with B.M.Ed of Music Education. Throughout my teaching career, of over 20 years, I have been driven to help my students achieve their very best. With my belief that music has the power to change lives, I feel that I help my students not only learn how to play the piano but learn how to enjoy it. Read More

What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
I have always thought the hardest thing to master on drumset is true four-limb independence. Styles such as jazz, salsa, and many Indian and African traditions require a high-level of proficiency of their rhythm instruments. So much slow and often tedious practicing is required to merely scratch the surface. It is difficult enough to work on two and three limb independence patterns and achieve a degree of fluidity. Four-limb independence requires an almost meditative, zen-like level of patience in your practice routine.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like to think I have some pretty unorthodox teaching methods but inevitably using a great method book is one of the best ways to be inspired by new ideas. For drumset I often start with Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials and a Hal Leonard-type instructional book coupled with the classic Stick Control by George L. Stone.
For voice training I have set warmups and exercises that are almost immediately implemented including the Vocal Ease app among other tools.
For piano I inevitably supplement with Hanon exercises at some point.
All of these methods have one thing in common: making the essentials of music fun and achievable while fueling creativity.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I don't often dwell on past accomplishments but there have been some notable musical experiences in my life. One of the moments I am most proud of is making first chair in Community College All-State Percussion and Jazz Band in the same year. The moment I found out the news instantly validated the countless hours I had spent practicing. Another ongoing accomplishment I am proud of is being a lead singer and drummer at the same time in my own band. It constantly challenges my abilities and stretches my musical awareness. Music (and art in general) has always had the ability to focus my time and energy in a way few other things can.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I believe singing chose me from an early age. It was a natural extension of myself and I was constantly interested in learning more melodies, songs and lyrics. Periodic voice lessons helped me to refine my technique and singing live helps me enjoy music in a very deep way. As for drums and percussion, I chose them because they are a part of almost every style of music in some way and because I wanted to be like the drummers I heard on my favorite albums growing up. Between singing and drumming I feel like almost every style of music is covered.
