What makes me stand out from other piano instructors is that I use the Russian Piano-Schooling System approach. Playing piano is much more than just the action of fingers and hands. Teaching of the artistic image and musical intonation, not just mechanical repetition -- is what makes the Russian method so special and unique. My students are encouraged to deeply listen to the quality of the sound they produce, and to identify what needs to be done to improve it. Read More

I also introduce "Piano Improvisation" by Frank Caruso, a top Jazz book where you start playing blues and continue with jazz. I also introduce the Jazz series from the ABRSM , a graded program with five books from beginner to advanced. For Jazz repertoire I use "Hearing the changes" by Coker knapp and Vincent, where you learn to memorize close to 500 tunes by ear , classified by their chord changes. After lesson 99 of the Bayer method I introduce "Preparatory exercises in score reading" by R.O.Morris where a more Baroque repertoire is introduced along with reading in the C clefs, a rather challenging book for those who aspire to climb the higher grades of learning to read from an orchestral score.

All teaching methods are different which is why I prefer to stay diverse and open to the preferences of the student. Being familiar with nearly every genre of music, I’m capable of teaching any style the student is interested in from movie scores, to broadway show tunes, to gospel, and modern, etc. Of course my favorite style and the one I recommend is the classical curriculum which I usually try to implement with each student as it has shown the best results in the past with students of all ages.
