Instruments: Piano
I am a young, passionate and committed piano performer and instructor. After earning my High School Diploma in Piano Performance with the highest score (100/100) and honors, I decided to move to the U.S. (which I have the citizenship from), to continue my performing and academic career. I am currently studying at Mannes School of Music under the tutelage of Jerome Rose, world-class pianist and instructor. I believe that a carreer in music is one of the most extraordinary things that someone can experience, living and feeling the beauty of this art every single day. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I like to tailor my lesson plans to each individual student. For vocalists, I take age and ability into account and will usually target one or two elements of technique at a time. Once I have a grasp on their level and voice type and what sorts of music they are interested in, I will pick out repertoire that will be fun and challenging for the student, and will put into practice the elements of technique we work on in warm ups.

Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I enjoy working at the begining to intermediate level for children as I get to introduce the earliest piano musical skills and I usually spend thirty minutes on teaching piano practice methods and thirty minutes on music theory skills. Currently, I use books like Dozen a Day, Scales and Hanon to build good finger techniques, John Thompson and John W.Schaum books for songs and theory preparation. For adults, I would use books related to adult beginning stages in piano and music theory. Read More

I have over 25 years of teaching experience with children and adults. My method is the shortest way to free playing piano, I can teach to play classic, jazz, rock and to know harmony of music for both beginners and advanced piano players. I worked in different music schools in Ukraine as well as in internationally renowned Tchaikovsky Music Academy in the Department of General and Specialized Piano teaching classics and jazz.

Instruments: Piano
I have left behind 11 years of my adventure, which I have crowned with conservatory education since I was 8 years old. Trying to understand and researching music at the intersections of other social sciences is what I enjoy the most.I think that I am a music person who loves the profession. Knowing that liking music is the greatest motivation, first of all, I made it my biggest mission to make people love it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Double Bass Keyboard
Musical games, singing, clapping, and moving are all part of my musical curriculum for children of this age. I reinforce musical and instrumental concepts through play, so they learn without even realizing it! Middling children (Ages 8-12) can often handle a more rigorous curriculum. Rudiments (scales, arpeggios, etudes) are far more important than songs to teach foundation and technique, but the songs are the 'treat' and definitely the fun part. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I have been teaching piano and voice students for the past 7 years and have really come to enjoy the experience more and more. Encouring regular practice is definitely key, as well as giving the students a chance to work on pieces they are interested in. This tends to, in my experience, make them even more interested and motivated to practice and hone their craft. I am looking forward to bringing on new students! Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Have you ever seen the movie Mr. Holland’s Opus? If you haven’t, go find it immediately. That movie is about an educator who touched more lives than he ever could have imagined over the course of 30 years.
I am extremely lucky because I have many Mr. Holland’s Opus teachers in my life.
My favorite voice teacher ever is Richard Poppino. He was my voice teacher, opera director, and department head at OSU. He was the first teacher that made me believe I had a future performing. We still remain great friends and I consider him a wonderful mentor. He is one of many who have propelled me into my career.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I am a firm believer that there is a difference between working hard and working smart.
To practice effectively, you have to be able to identify what needs to most work. After pin pointing that, you put in the most work there. Often this is “the hardest” phrase of the piece and it just needs a little extra love.
Singing a song over and over again does not equal effective practicing.
Skipping out on practicing, while tempting, is also not effective.
My best advice is to have a set practice time and stick to it.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The best way to tell if your child is ready is if they want to. If they are interested in singing. If they gravitate towards music.
In my own technique, I adjust to what my students need and therefore I will never be overwhelming them with anything they aren’t ready for.
In my own background, I started out with different music lessons in my childhood and didn’t start taking proper voice lessons until my voice was quite developed.
While I got a lot of what I needed from the multiple choirs I was a part of, the main thing I missed out on was repertoire! And having someone one on one to help tailor what I should be singing.
The short answer is that I am a professional singer, no matter, but I did hit roadblocks in my youth that held me behind the competition.
When will I start to see results?
This is not a one size fits all question or answer. Referring back to the question about effective practicing, results can only be found once you’ve put in the effort. However, I’ve had students be instantly surprised immediately if I’ve helped access something they’ve never experienced before. This could be a very simple adjustment or it could be hitting a note they had no idea they had in them.
This is very much dependent on the rapport between teacher and student and the effort and preparation each have brought to the table.
