My teaching style is strongly based on the constructivist method of learning. What that means is I prefer to help students by means of demonstrating skills( Left/ right-hand technique, excerpts from music, etc.), to scaffold their learning, and to help them overcome challenges by means of critical thinking and problem-solving. Setting practice goals and also keeping a practice journal is an effective way to keep students on track with their playing development. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Bass Guitar Organ Accordion Ukulele Double Bass Keyboard
The teaching begins with identifying student's musical needs, goals and tastes. Students are taught a stimulating, thorough, and graduated course of recital solos, theory, technical studies, and a strandard instrument repertoire. For those wishing to pursue more of a classical approach to music, there are proven methods to accomplish that goal established by European Master Teacher and pedagogues. Also, I can teach the know-how of Jazz and Blues though gradual lessons that cover basic scales and chords up to melody and harmony development. Read More
Instruments: Voice Violin Electric Violin Music
I strive to make my lessons fun! Learning to do something you love should be fun. I enjoy teaching students especially when they have a strong passion for what they are doing. I encourage them to practice daily, if nothing else. I always say, even if it's only 10 minutes a day, that's better than 30 minutes only one day of the week! Even if you are very talented, you still must practice to get better. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
I love teaching and helping students reach their potential. I have been teaching music for over 40 years. I teach beginning to professional level voice lessons from folk and pop to Broadway and Opera. I also teach beginning level piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, and guitar. My students understand the voice and voice production. I am thrilled to pass on a fantastic technique to the serious opera or Broadway singers who have struggled with unfocused and frustrating techniques. Read More

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.
