Instruments: Viola
I really enjoy teaching and working with people! My goal is to see each student learn at their own pace, and develop a love for music. My approach is to set realistic goals at each lesson, so that students can achieve, and have their achievements acknowledged, so they feel excited to progress and learn more. Along with basic technique, the lesson will focus on the fun and enjoyment of music, trying to learn what inspires each student, along with setting realistic challenges for each student, to work hard to get to the next level.

Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion Keyboard
My experience dates back to age 14 at a youth group function. I was inspired by a drummer I seen play on the drum kit and I immediately asked if I can learn. From there I started playing at a church called Bethany Christian Center as a back up drummer and eventually as the main drummer. I learned more about drumming through various teachers and on stage performing. I formed a garage band, played at various gigs and produced an amateur album as a project of mine. Read More
Instruments: Violin
I teach mainly out of the string builder series. After the student shows some progress I will introduce some solo pieces and maybe some studies to practice. My method really revolves around the student since everyone advances at their own pace. Some other method books could be Kreutzer, Sevcik, and wohlfhart. Some early pieces I could introduce would be Arcangelos Corelli's violin sonatas. Read More
Instruments: Violin Viola Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle Double Bass
The approach to the violin with the orthodox method can be particularly frustrating. The technique is important but equally important is to develop the ability and taste of playing together right away. For this reason, regardless of the styles you want to deepen, I play as much as possible together with the student whether it is classical duets, folk songs or jazz. For the more advanced students a part of the study of the accompaniment is reserved as well as for soloists Calibrating the objectives based on the abilities of the age and the talent of the students is an attention that can avoid frustrations and lead everyone to the common goal of the musicians: to express and continuously improve.

Instruments: Piano
I am passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I graduated from University of Hawaii with B.B. A. degree. I finished Diploma of Piano Performance in Associated Board of Royal School of Music, England. I have over 15 years of teaching experience. I teach classical as well as pop music. Most of my beginning level students are able to learn for long time. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet
For me the most important thing is to keep the students motivated. If that is not the case they won't do their part when they go home to practice. Sometimes I explain the theory and practical use of some exercises that in the beginning look tedious or exhausting so that the students can have a bigger idea of how the structure of music is created. Clarinet and saxophone are melodic instruments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin
I was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan where I began studying piano at the age of five with Professor Tamara Papovich and began playing violin at age six with Professor Gulnara Suleymanova. I began my undergraduate degree at the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan in 2004 andgraduated in 2008.Imoved to the United States in 2010to pursue my Professional Performance Certificate atLynn University, Florida with Professor Carol Cole. Also, starting from the age of sixteen, I began violin coaching to students from all levels. Read More
Instruments: Flute Recorder Piccolo
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Winning the competitions that brought me performances in Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall (twice) and a European Debut in Geneva, Switzerland. I loved performing the concertos with orchestra that I have. I'm quite proud of the chamber music work I continue to do.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My uncle was an active musician, bass player, in New York in the 1940s and on.
My mother first went to college to major in music (piano) but ended up switching.
My nephew is a film composer in LA and also has been writing K-Pop songs that are pretty successful. He's doing very well and I'm so proud!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I think the defining moment was the stay at music camp after 8th grade. I loved music my whole life and sort of thought of it as a career before that, but the most serious "statement" was at that point and there's been no looking back.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Bachelor of Music in Music Education: I chose this because it seemed like the right thing to do.
Master of Music in Woodwind Performance: I was really focusing my career as a performer and I had the opportunity to be accepted to the flute studio of Leone Buyse (then of the Boston Symphony Orchestra).
Doctor of Musical Arts in Music Education: I chose this because I needed a doctorate to pursue teaching in college. But, while studying in the program, I came to realize that whether you are a performer or teacher (or both!), you are an educator and how important understanding how to teach it for the private studio teacher.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I warm up - although I'm not one to spend a lot of time on that. I do some brief scale exercises and then get to my repertoire. Similar to most students, my time for practice is often compressed, so I've learned to make most effective use of it. If I have more time, I sight-read, which I think is one of the most important skills for a musician.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Understanding the physics of air pressure, speed and direction. Sometimes people worry too much about embouchure and fingering, when it really all comes down to understanding air and how sound is made on the flute. I spend a lot of time on this in my teaching and I think this is why my students all have a really good, strong sound.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had a number of students go from my studio to major in music in conservatories and colleges. I think that the passion I instilled in them, as well as the knowledge of how to practice and be a good musician has carried them well.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It was really a matter of what the band director wanted for his band and also that I walked to and from school so my mother didn't want me to choose something heavy (as my brother already played horn). I just chose the flute, but I like to think that the instrument chose me.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Flute is my primary instrument (also piccolo, alto and bass), but I started off on piano when I was 5. I chose piano because my older siblings played and I wanted to be better at it than them - perhaps I already knew I was going to enter a competitive field! So, flute was my second and I chose it because I wanted to play in the school band.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Organize your time. Don't try to work on an entire piece. Identify where the problems are and focus your attention there. Schedule practice time as you would any other appointment. Consider practicing in small time units.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Have they shown an interest? Not an ability, just an interest? Are they very easily distracted? Obviously they don't need to be able to sit quietly and non-moving, but they do need to be able to give their attention.
