I love music and have studied piano since I was six years old.  I also studied organ and clarinet briefly.  My degrees are in Psychology and Communications.  I worked for state and federal government agencies and was a writer and producer for CNN/Atlanta for ten years.  I enjoy teaching piano and now have six students ranging in age from 4 to 36 years of age.  I also enjoy tennis and am a former lawa student, but found the latter not to my liking.

 I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a teacher.  I have spent the last seventeen years working with children of all ages and sharing my love of music as a classroom music teacher and private piano teacher.  I am passionate about connecting with the children I teach.  I love watching them smile and grow up into such amazing human beings.  I am also passionate about music.  I enjoy listening to live music, performing music and dancing to music.  It is a big part of my life.  My husband and I have recently moved to Roswell from Texas, and I am looking forward to teaching new piano students.

Marcus grew up in various cities along the Eastern Coast of the United States. Throughout his school career, he sang in choirs and ensembles, which helped to shape his love of music. At the age of 15, Marcus received his first guitar, and has never looked back. Marcus moved to Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., where he sought to study under Jay Brighton. Jay had a profound influence on Marcus in the areas of music theory, ear training, and, most importantly, the discipline of practice.  After studying with Jay for a few years, Marcus moved to Virginia Beach, VA where he learned from players such as Scott Mishoe and Jay Rakes. In the mean time, Marcus began playing in various bands and recorded his first album Martian Landscape. At times, you would even be able to catch Marcus on stage with Paul Gilbert.  Upon graduating from high school, Marcus wanted to further his knowledge of the music industry, so he moved to Nashville, TN and attended Middle Tennessee State University to study Recording Engineering. During his college years, Marcus continued to play in several bands; he played on numerous recording projects; he taught private lessons; he played in musicals such as Little Shop of Horrors and Grease; and in his spare time, he studied under professional session guitarist, Gwain Reifsnider. Marcus is now working on new material, doing various studio dates, working with different bands and teaching private lessons in the Atlanta area.

I was born in the former Soviet Union in 1982. My family and I moved to the states in 1991 and have lived in the Atlanta area ever since. I have been classically trained in violin since the age of 3, and I also picked up the piano and guitar as I got older. I have been teaching music for 12+ years, and my instruments include: violin, viola, piano, and guitar. I also tutor in Music Theory and Music History. 

I am a very enthusiastic musician who is serious about the enrichment of people involving their lives with music. I am a graduate from Alabama State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance. I am also currently an online student with The School of Audio Engineering and will be obtaining a Master of Arts/Master of Sciences in the areas of Music Technologies. I have experience in overseas travel for performance, in which gives me an edge of diversity of interaction with aspiring musicians. During my collegiate career I have had the opportunity to perform with Intercolligiate bands across the nation and the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra.
