Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard
My approach to teaching is very student-centric. I firmly believe that every student has unique talents and insights. I strive to find the right balance for every student, between their personal goals and what areas of opportunity for growth I see for them. It is my mission to help every student get the most out of every lesson, and leave knowing that they have discovered something new about themselves and their ability to connect with music. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I have been teaching music for the last 17 years. I teach ages from 10 to adult. My music teaching incorporates Russian classical methods and the best traditions of Russian piano performance school. I also incorporate pop, rock and jazz into students' curriculum. It is important for me to know that my student is enjoying the lesson. I encourage my student to enter competitions and recitals so they can feel good about their achievements. Read More

The methods I use change depending on the student, but generally, I use the following: - Piano: start with Alfreds (suited for age/proficiency), then choose a specialty (improvising, classical, pop, etc) - Guitar: start with Hal Leonard (for note reading), then choose a specialty (jazz, pop, classical, flamenco, etc) - Voice: because of the nature of the human voice, I dont use a book, but rather teach principles and methods to use during practice and performance Regardless of the instrument, I hope to help you improve as much as I can.

I strongly believe that a well-rounded music education helps a player to become a more confident, musical, and an emotionallyyaware musician. As such, I like to give my students small assignments focused on topics besides just performance, such as Music Theory and Aural Skills exercises. Of course, I will always move at the pace the student needs but I also know (from personal experience) that a nudge in the right direction can be priceless. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
The two most important things to me when it comes to teaching piano are making sure that my students get the fundamentals down and also have fun in the process! There is no shortcut for proper technique so emphasizing the basics from the start creates a strong foundation to grow as a pianist and will allow you to advance much more quickly. Finally, it's important to have fun and enjoy the process. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The best reward is for my students to have fun learning. I always try my best and adapt to my student's learning ability. Every student I have taught was different at grasping the fundamentals. Therefore, it is important for the students to progress at their own pace. I encourage and motivate them with showcasing my ability. Setting goals that are realistic to reach within their abilities. Complimenting the student's success in scales, sight-reading, solo song, and practice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Teaching for over twenty years has allowed me to hone and refine my craft - and to work with a lot of really great and fun people! Early in my career I gravitated toward a 'socratic' approach to teaching, which is instructing just enough - then asking questions. In this manner I try to engage and involve the student's mind/imagination as much as possible. At a basic level, when we 'teach' we actually learn - as students do when they begin to 'instruct' the teacher. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Probably my piano teacher, Dr. Susan Boettger. As a graduate of the Julliard school of music, she was able to precisely see in a student their potential and capabilties in a way that they haven't even realized in themselves yet. She was able to do this because of an absolute mastery in her abilties and understanding of her field to the point where she was able to push and guide someone to be at their absolute best. I think this trait rubbed off on me over time as a teacher even as I have switched instruments. All the things she told me back then that I didnt yet quite understand or see resonate with me now more strongly than ever and it shows in my enthusiasm and willingness to do whatever it takes to see my students success.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
PRACTICE SLOWLY. Your mind often understands things faster than your muscle memory can so it is EXTREMELY important to start things out slow and then build up speed as you get more and more comfortable. Playing along to a metronome also helps immensely in order to gauge and measure your learning efficiency as well as promote and insure proper technique. Finally, its also important in the long run to get used to playing to a metronome (or a click) especially if you plan on playing live and or get into recording and composition. Finally, ALWAYS keep in mind that learning is NOT a competition. Its a chance for you to discover new ways to keep yourself feeling motivated and inspired.
When will I start to see results?
It really depends on the person and how much dedicated time one puts into their practices. For some, it might be as fast as 2 weeks. For others, it might take about a month or two. Either way, the main important thing to remember is that how much effort goes in is usually how much that comes out. Its important for me as a teacher to gauge each student's learning capacity and give them tips into practicing more efficiently that caters to their needs and conditions.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Whenever they express enthusiasm and or a genuine interest and desire in it consistently over a period of time. Its important to allow them to explore their curiosity and nurture it at a young age in order for them to have time to develop healthy habits and outlooks on things later on down the road. You never know, it can probably even change their lives like it has for me! Finally, it is important that your child understands the responsibility of commitment before enrolling them into lessons. As the saying goes, "you can take a horse to the river, but you can't force it to drink". Therefore, talk to them and more importantly ENCOURAGE them to keep going when it gets rough for them and see how you can get more involved in their musical journey.
