Where I Teach:
Ages Taught: 5-24
9 -year school of Advanced Piano and Musical Theory, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Having received an excellent, unique, and non-standard musical education on piano and voice in Russia, I got inspired by my teacher to share the knowledge , skill sm and love I have to music with others. My tutoring on piano includes proper playing techniques, musical hearing, sheet music reading, development of musical intuition. My tutoring on voice includes musical hearing, proper breathing, proper sound production. I've been performing since age 4, both on piano and voice. My latest experience includes touring United States with the choir as a lead soloist and composer. The link to one of the performances is in biography. My teaching experience includes teaching kids and teenagers of novice and intermediate levels.
I encourage parents to teach their children music from young age. Most of my students are kids from age 5-13, level starting from novice to intermediate. I have been practicing tutoring piano for 5 years and voice for 3 years. My teaching style not only includes standard piano playing skills, but also sheet music reading, musical hearing, and proper playing techniques. In regards to voice lessons, I am strongly convinced that knowing musical theory basics significantly improves understanding of vocal basics. It brings me joy to see when my students get better, and, seeing that, strive for more better results in their learning.
I always start with applicable musical theory to help the student understand the basics of piano and what are the proper techniques to play the instrument. The same applies to voice lessons. After a student is able to read music on the basic level and knows the placement of notes on the scale, we proceed to the basic repertoire and practice. Each student is individual, so based on the pace I create a schedule, which always includes implementing the learnt material more and more, so that student can perform basics automatically correct.
Music knowledge helps in child development, mentally and emotionally. I love encouraging children to strive for better and better results through the love to music and its beauty. I believe in acknowledging accomplishments right away and pointing out the strengths of any particular moment during practices so that students know in which direction to work on, as well as see the results of their efforts. I also believe that improvements come from better understanding of the material and basics, and vice versa.
