Doctoral Degree: Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Kiev
Overview:
I graduated from Khmelnitsky College of music with a focus in button accordion and piano, and I have earned my master degree from Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Kiev, Ukraine, the same institution that educated noted pianist Vladimir Horowitz and many other renowned performers, composers and educators. I performed with the Veriovka Choir, an award-winning orchestra that tours internationally to share the joy of music with audiences worldwide. Today I find fulfillment staying closer to home with my family and enthusiastically sharing music with my students.
EXPERIENCE
I began teaching in college under my teacher's supervision when I was 18 years old, and in the United States I have been teaching piano as private lessons for eight years. Im happy to work with students of all abilities who are eager to learn about playing piano! Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of my key points I like to emphasize for students of all ages, as it tends to help the students progress and gain a passion for piano.
METHODS USED
For young students starting piano lessons for the first time, I recommend either Bastien or Faber's piano Adventure method books. My older students love Alfred's books. These method books, in my opinion, have motivating pieces and give the students a solid foundation in theory and scales. I also use supplementary materials such as Dozen a Day, Czerny, Kabalevskiy. For students of all ages, I stress that the ears are the most important part of playing or listening to music. The skills I teach encourage a life-long learning in my students.
LESSON STYLE
I pride myself on instilling a passion for music and music making in my students. I consciously draw attention to what a student does well as well as what a student can improve on. In this way, they polish their playing and listening, while enjoying what they do well. Every student is very different in both their needs and their interests, and it’s very important to me to tailor lessons for their age, level and learning style. What works for a 5 year old child, doesn't work for an autistic child. I’m flexible in my teaching, some students prefer classical music more than others. Im willing to try a new music style; if one loves a piece one will practice it in addition to the given piece that develops his(her) finger technique, dynamics, phrasing, articulation, so children can perform a song rather than simply reproduce notes. I always work to establish a trusting and personal relationship with my students so that lessons are effective, fun and educational.
