Instruments: Piano
I have been playing the piano since I was 4. I have been awarded diplomas in piano performance and accompaniment from Trinity College London and the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, and did my Bachelor of Arts in Music (Piano Performance and Musicology) at the College of Charleston, SC, where I graduated summa cum laude. I went on to complete an artist certificate in Charleston and is now a Masters candidate at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Euphonium French Horn Tuba Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Oboe Bassoon
For students who are already in an instrumental program through school, I will start with whatever method book they are using at school, and branch off from there. Depending on the instrument, I will bring in another method book specific to that instrument book and we will also use some sort of etude book. The etudes may be classical in nature or more modern music. For older students, I will help them prepare Solo and Ensemble pieces as well. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Flute Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I began teaching music while I was in college. Although I was not an education major, I did take education classes and learned a lot about pedagogy during my time in college. I have experience teaching beginning percussion-intermediate percussion on mallet instruments, snare drum, timpani, drum set, and orchestral percussion. I have taught music theory/piano to many students over the years. I have provided many of those students with the skills to set them up to continue learning independently or to seek out learning new instruments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I started playing piano when I was 10. By 15 I was performing at local venues throughout the state of Ohio. At 15 I also started playing the guitar; over the years I have added the bass, drums and percussion to my resume. I have had the great opportunity to meet and perform with many amazing musicians, as well as travel all over north America and Europe. Read More

Instruments: Piano
I was classically trained in Ukraine and I follow the Russian tradition of teaching music. Mastering a piece of music is a multi step approach. An important factor for me is helping students learn proper technique. I feel that mastering the necessary skills of finger placement and hand positioning will lay the groundwork for quickly learning new pieces as skill level grows. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs..... Read More

Why did you choose your primary instrument?
When I was in 3rd grade there was an assembly where the 5th graders came to the theater in the round and played the string instruments for us. There were violins, a viola, cello and a bass. I was mesmerized by the cello and decided that I had to play that instrument. After I signed up the music teacher called my house and asked my mom if I might be interested in playing the bass because no one had signed up for it. My mom raised me on Motown music and asked me if I would like to play the instrument that was the heartbeat of all the music we loved and then told me that if I stuck with it that she & my dad would get me an electric bass when I got to high school. I was sold and ended up loving those low tones and being the musical anchor... still love it too!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have toured the country with a number of different bands, recorded on a number of albums- including three that were all original music written by me- and have played hundreds of gigs a year for the past 15 years, and have been a successful teacher. I have been able to make a living playing and teaching music and have gotten to meet many interesting people and have been places that most people have not because of music. I have made so many friends and have had so many wonderful meals and can't imagine doing anything else.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I'm not sure if they've won any awards but I do have quite a few former students who have gone on to college to study music and have become music teachers. I have another student who's band just got signed to a record deal and another who is on his way to study at Berklee College of Music. I have helped students write and record albums and have taught people to express themselves fearlessly and with confidence. I have little kids that look up to me and show up to their lessons excited to show me that they can perfectly play their lessons from the previous week and have had countless bands from rock band classes perform onstage for family and friends and sound amazing.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the bass is the balance of good intonation and good time. Rhythm is the key to music and if the beat is not strong and felt within you then you are not really playing. As a bass player it is also important to be able to communicate the correct notes to the other musicians and it is hard to dial in the correct pitch on a fretless instrument that is almost as big as I am. Slowing everything down and understanding that it is better to take the time to learn something well than to get it right quickly without fully absorbing the lesson was another concept that took a while to sink in.
