Instruments: Piano Violin
When I think of music, I always think of the quote: "Where words fail, music speaks," by Hans Christian Anderson. When I am teaching, nothing means more to me than seeing one of my students who was shy and not confident with themselves grow into a confident and enthusiastic person, both with music and in their life. I believe it's important to make sure this happens by recognizing and acknowledging that every student progresses at their own pace, has different needs, and has a different personality. Read More

My job is of upmost importance; to teach, but also to learn. As an educator I am responsible for encouraging growth and delivering material as efficiently as possible while maintaining a realistic sense of what is achievable. However, it is also my job to learn from the student and be able to adapt and grow to new situations. Not every student progresses at the same rate, but I keep my expectations and spirits high to push students to want to keep learning and working hard to accomplish their goals. Read More

With beginner students, regardless of age, I start with the Suzuki pre-twinkle exercises to build a solid foundation of technique, as well as starting ear training exercises and note reading practice. Once a student has mastered the pre-twinkle fundamentals, I move to the first two Suzuki books, and supplement with etudes tailored to the student's level and musical interests. My philosophy is that learning should be organic and enjoyable, so I do my best to introduce repetitive and uninteresting exercises only when necessary, and to make them as entertaining as possible when I do so.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always enjoy the practice, to enjoy that process you need to be able stay focused, listen yourself. There for, practice slow with small parts of the material.
The break during practice is equally important as the practicing time by itself.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Communication is a great way to check, therefore there are several things which are obvious: does your child enjoy the violin music whenever he or she listens to it?
If the child has some sense of rhythm and so called “ musical ear”, Give it a try,, as nobody started to play at once.We will see together, work together, trying to develop sense of rhythm and some basic ear training.
When will I start to see results?
Each lesson is process of giving information ,receiving that information. Usually after each lesson only quarter of the information,that is being remembered by student, so systematic work ,by digesting old material and receiving new material will show results, as teaching and learning process is repetitive one. But after each lesson there will be that small difference.
Though there are some people who just want to see that difference in one day, but we need to understand the reality.
Then the parents can see the positive difference in child’s development.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
As all we know Bach composed well tempered clavier book , and the word tempered is the key.
As we can see there’s keyboard on the piano, you push the key and it produces sound, on traditional violin we don’t have key board but fingerboard or “griph” ,as well before each time we pay we tune instrument that means we temper instrument so where is half step where is whole step?,It varies from instrument to instrument, so this proves that our instrument is not “well “tempered “.thus we tune it always, and besides that the steps...so that makes intonation one of the most important aspects in violin playing and ,because violin playing is coordinated work between right hand and left hand so plus to intonation you need good sound production as well,and for that is responsible right hand. These are some things that you could tell are not easy if there’s no control
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was lucky enough to study with my two great teachers.
Both of them studied Russian school, with the same traditions as Ivan Galamian did study,and, as we know he was the teacher for many Great musicians who are world Class violinists
At the time, I started to take lessons with my first teacher she was systematically practicing with me and if I would have a difficulty in understanding something she would help and encourage me to overcome that smal difficulties, which,by the way developed in me the good thing, which was to accomplish the task and to learn new things, ,so my teacher’s consistent approach to teaching process, and her encouragement inspired me to go in to music.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I started to play when I was 5and half years old.and after 7 years of studying,I decided to change my school , to specialized music school and after I graduated from that school where I studied music history ,violin teaching methodology, theory and harmony,After that I was already 100%sure that I am going to Conservatory.
