My teaching experience started in 2009 for a few private music schools. Right after I graduated from Conservatory I taught in schools that focused on classical studies specificly designed for young students interested in pursuing a career in orchestral and enseble playing. In 2010 I joined the team of faculties at Magicamusica where I learned about innovative propaedeutic methods used in modern teaching. Read More

In addition to this success, my students have also proven themselves in various piano competitions across California, invariably securing prizes for their outstanding performances. Read More

I have been teaching music for the last 17 years. I teach ages from 10 to adult. My music teaching incorporates Russian classical methods and the best traditions of Russian piano performance school. I also incorporate pop, rock and jazz into students' curriculum. It is important for me to know that my student is enjoying the lesson. I encourage my student to enter competitions and recitals so they can feel good about their achievements. Read More

Ultimately my goal is for my students to develop a love and lifestyle that is grounded in music. With that in mind, each student determines their own progress by how much time and effort they put into what they learn. I set goals that encourage students to reach their full potential if they put forth the effort. Students should be acknowledged when they accomplish something, and they should also be told when they need to improve. Read More
Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
I split lessons with 1) musical materials, including new skills 2) Skill building with scales, music theory, the iPad 3) and for those who want to learn to compose I also add in composing their own melodic lines and arrangements. For the older students and for adults I also have a system of fake book playing where I teach them the chord progressions and use them to create accompaniment patters to a given melody. Read More

My teaching experience started while finishing my second program in college in 2016. With a career planned, I was ready to start sharing the ways of the fretboard to my students. With that, comes something thats most important, dedication. With dedication, you start a practice strategy, whether you want to memorize all the 12 major scales in all five CAGED patterns, or learn Hendrix's "Purple Haze" there must be dedication. Setting goals is very important to learning music, or your instrument, achieving is when you've finally reached what you've strived for, and challenge is when you take your goal and add some "spice" to it, whether it's playing faster, or learning the modes of the major scale.

Instruments: Bass Guitar Double Bass
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is about quality and consistency. It is very important to be focused on a specific goal when you're practicing, and to also make sure you are practicing the right things. You must ask yourself, why am I practicing what I am practicing? and what is the end result for practicing what I am practicing? It is also very important to be consistent with your practice. 15 minutes of focused practiced a day is better than cramming 6 hours of practice two times a week, since your muscle memory will develop much faster.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Your child is ready to start lessons whenever they begin to show a strong interest for music and an aptitude for learning. Since children are highly capable of retaining information, it is probably the best point in life for them to start learning. There are so many connections being made in the brain at this young age, that they will soak everything in like a sponge, and in turn it will benefit them in the long run. Music has so many beneficial aspects. It is one of the only subjects in life that is mental, emotional, physical and spiritual all at once.
When will I start to see results?
The more time and effort you put into your musical pursuits, the quicker you will begin to see results. The results that you want to see can start happening within a matter of days if you are having consistent and quality practice sessions. Music is a life long endeavor, so depending on how far you want to take your musical pursuits will determine the amount of results you will receive. Ironically, the more you improve the harder on yourself you become, due your high expectations and you will want to see even more results more quickly. It is a journey up and downs, and ups and downs that is all relative to the individual.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had multiple teachers that have inspired me throughout my life, whether they were teaching me bass, arranging or theory, and have found that they all have something in common. They all have the ability to connect with their students in an enthusiastic way and not bog them down by being overly academic and regimented. They are able to make connections with what they are teaching to not just music itself, but with other aspects of life. I think this is very important and is something that I strive for myself as a teacher.
