My teaching style is adaptive to each individual student's strenghts and weaknesses. I create lesson plans based off of skill level and learning type.Everyone learns at their own pace, and I make sure to cater to those individual needs.I am an educator who strongly believes in the power of music education, and how it relates to other aspects of life. I believe a fun environment is the first step in education, and through the proper balance of hard work and fun the students goals will be met. Read More

Drawing upon my education and experiences as both performer and teacher, I strive to relate my musical background to my students' learning experiences and progress. As each student comes with his or her individual musical wants and interests, student lessons are designed to meet these needs of a particular student. I have young students of ages 5 to 14 as well as students of upper ages. According to a student's level of musicianship (beginner, advanced or in between), students are taught how to read music, music theory in relation to their progress, chords, scales and how to write/compose their own songs.

Each lesson plan I create varies from student to student. During the first lesson I have with a new student, I asses what they know, and what they would like to learn. I then teach the necessary building blocks in order to reach certain goals that the student and I set in a timely manner. By doing this, the student learns at a comfortable pace, and they will absolutely notice their progress after only a few lessons. Read More

During my years of teaching in East Lansing Michigan my band programs continually earned first and second division ratings at festivals. We took trips to Chicago every other year to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and to do a workshop at Northwestern University and my students received first and second division ratings at Solo and Ensemble both at the district and state levels. I was a judge for solo and ensemble and band festivals. Read More

In 2010 I released my first solo album, After Tonight. Here is what a world famous producer Cliff Cultreri says about me: " Vlad is an absolute sweetheart of human being and a superb and very emotional player who puts all his heart into his music.I think he would be a great asset as a teacher as he is such likeable individual and he lives to play, learn and share/teach the guitar.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set a routine and stick to it! With that though, avoid getting into ruts. Don't practice the same thing over and over again just because it is easy or you sound good on it. While repetition is good and necessary, make sure you stretch yourself and attempt something new when you can. Sight reading is a great way to accomplish this. It's also a fantastic way to develop all of your skills and musicality. Finally make sure every practice session includes something you hate doing i.e. a difficult exercise, scales, whatever, and something you love doing, i.e a favorite song or etude. Finding these balances will make your practice sessions fly by and be extremely effective.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they show interest, they are ready. Generally if they can count to 10 and know their ABCs and can focus on a task for 20+ minutes, they can take lessons. I recommend not starting them off with brass or singing lessons until they are at least 10 years old. Most kids simply don't have the lung development until that age to really be successful. If they are interested in playing a wind instrument or singing, it is usually best to start them off with piano and then work those other things in. I have developed breathing exercises for younger students that go well with playing piano to get them into good habits so when they reach a good age, they are set up for success.
When will I start to see results?
This is a very difficult to answer and very loaded question. Every student is different. While it is my job to give a student the tools for success, the practice time at home between lessons is where the real progress is made. My true job is to teach a student HOW to practice, so that when they practice, they are successful. The student must take it upon themselves to take what they have earned in lessons and practice at home. If a students has difficulties practicing at home, then we can work on finding a way to make them want to practice. Practicing is the absolute only way to get better at music. Coming into lessons unprepared will never work out for the student.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have had many teachers who have inspired me to be a musician. From a very young age, my parents saw and nurtured my musical desires. My father sang in community and church groups and my mother was always singing. My first grade school music teacher got me involved in the school choir and band. My biggest influence as I grew up and decided to go into music as a profession was definitely
