Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Flute Bass Guitar Keyboard Electric Guitar Classical Guitar
I have a 20+ years experience in teaching piano, and a classroom Music teacher as well. Music Theory is my forte and started to develop reading skills and teaching with the aid of technology. I started playing piano in our church when I was in 6th grade, that's when I realized that Everyone has a talent of something they can contribute to the world, It is also important to know that we are all given different talents to use at different times.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Trumpet Fiddle French Horn Electric Guitar
While in high school and college, I mostly tutored other students in history, chemistry, and math. However I worked as a private instructor for students learning violin and guitar for much of 2017. I was trained classically in violin in the Suzuki method, took rock/folk-based instruction in guitar, and learned brass and percussion through my high school marching band, which also doubled as a concert ensemble for half of the school year.

Instruments: Violin
My teaching style is mainly to be patient. It should be understood that every grows at their own pace. I think the very first lesson would require me to hear the student play and decide on a case by case basis on a plan that is best for them. As the student progresses with their learning, it is also important to observe the student and respond to their needs. I will for all students emphasize how grip. Read More
Instruments: Voice Violin
Teaching is uniquely tailored to the needs of the individual. Part of what keeps teaching so exciting over the years is the constant discovery of new methods and techniques that will reach the unique needs of each new student. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Music
After graduating from California State University, I became involved with conducting and established my own youth symphony orchestra, working with teens who were eighteen years and younger. I organized weekly rehearsals, prepared the orchestra repertoire, and arranged performances. During my graduate studies at the San Francisco conservatory I was involved in the internship program coaching orchestra excerpts and private lessons at George Washington High School. Recently I became involved with music composition and scoring and arranging pieces for solo instruments and ensembles. 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!
