Instruments: Piano Violin
I love hearing a student improve in their music. I love not only hearing them play but seeing them grow as a person. Music is an incredible powerful gift that can be used in so many different ways. I believe in learning a musical instrument students can be benefited as a person by learning self discipline/patience/perseverance. It's a great way to set goals and see goals met. There is no way for learning an instrument to be a quick process but little by little it can progress to a great accomplishment. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! I tailor things to each students age, level and goals. I think anyone is able to learn an instrument and understand that we each learn and approach things differently. Some students are more oral or visual learners. I encourage students to practice at least four days a week and keep a practice log. Young stundents are rewarded by stickers for their weekly practice. Read More

Instruments: Drums Orchestral Percussion
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was gradual and steady. Once I learned how to teach Drums, I began playing in a cover band. From there, it became a passion for creating Original music. Since then, I have not stopped and consider myself a Professional Musician.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I find progressive Metal Drumming is my favorite. Especially, if I'm playing along with the music that I have composed. Also, solo Drumming is a passion...Making "Drum Songs" from my Percussion.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I am also a Vocalist. Simply, it came about as no member in one of my bands could sing in the style that was needed. From there, I gradually went form singing back up to lead. It's fun to play Drums and sing at the same time.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Have a plan...use your time effectively...Focus on what you don't know (yet)...and above all:Be Patient! If a Student has 4 things to work on, and only 1 hour, then spend 15 minutes on each. This will require discipline! If you noodle for 30 minutes, then...You only have time to work on 2 items. Above all, have fun learning new things.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My Great Grandfather was a famous German Composer. He had published original music that was performed in Europe in the early 1900's. I keep his picture next to the rig I use when I write my original music. He's been an inspiration all my musical life.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
In 2014/2015, when the country of Ukraine was experiencing internal conflict (called the Maidan), I wrote a song for the Ukrainian people. It was a hit and played on their #1 Internet station:Radio Roks.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
In Real Estate, an Agent will tell you with a smile:The 3 most important things in Real Estate is "Location - Location - Location". So, I believe the most important thing to master playing Drums: "Keeping Good Time - Keeping Good Time - Keeping Good Time".
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Stick Control...Ted Reed's Syncopation...John Xepoleas' Style Studies...My Footiments Book...Joe Franco Double Bass,etc/ I have found over the years, these books have helped the most. Honestly, I have a book list I teach from. I use 80+ Drum Books.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
Always...warm up! 20 minutes on the practice pad...10 minutes on Double Pedal/Double Bass to keep the blood flowing. Then, I spend time - usually 30 minutes - on things I'm still learning have not yet mastered. After, I go through my bands' set...playing about 13 songs..I'm playing Drums and singing lead vocal.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Back in the day, I was in a fun "air Band" with my little Brother. One day, we decided it was time to form a real band. In this "air Band",I was the Drummer. So, we all agreed to purchase instruments, ask for lessons, and get together to make a band. It was close to my Birthday, so I asked my Mom for Drum lessons. She agreed and that 's how I started.
When will I start to see results?
In my experience, if the Student follows their assignments, you will see results in 3 months. I have had newcomer Drum Students successfully learn a Drum Beat on the first lesson!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Simple:He invited me to a rehearsal with his band. It was a group that played all styles...Rock - Jazz - Latin. I watched him play in his band, play music, using all the elements he was teaching me. This inspired me to continue and strive to learn more. And, to learn from other Drum Teachers!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
For Drummers? I call it:"The Drum Bug". Your child is always looking at Drums...You notice they have good time when listening to music..They make their own Drums at home by playing on your pots and pans. I find, when the Drum Bug is strong, the Student is ready, eager, and willing to get serious about taking Drum Lessons. Oh, and possibly...they've asked you a million times for lessons and a Drumset!
