Instruments: Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar

I focus in simple exercises and patterns so the student gets familiar not only with music theory but also with the mechanics of both left and right hands. I like to make these exercises based on music that my students like, for example if you love Metallica or AC/DC I will create an exercise based on one of their most popular songs.

Instruments: Piano Voice Keyboard

My teaching style is based on traditional classical approach of Russian Piano teaching method. For younger, beginner level student lessons are structured around different activities and games (for very young students) to learn notes reading and rhythm. For intermediate and more advanced students each lesson starts with a warm up, of scales, arpeggios, etudes or other technical pieces. After that we move onto working on individual pieces of music. Student is explained what needs to be done to achieve desired results for each specific piece, and the homework is written in a notebook for the following lesson. Read More

I try to listen to my students first in order to see what they would like to learn first. For younger students, having fun is a key point in my teaching. I also work using method books for more advanced and intermidiate students. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin

I have been teaching for two years, and I truly enjoy it.  I was fortunate enough to coach middle school violinists last summer, and I was able to help them individually, as well as help them perform together.  Teaching, for me, is a way of shaping the next generation of musicians or music enthusiasts.  I can teach students of any ability level, and it is always a joy to work with and get to know a new student.

Instruments: Piano

Seeing my students develop a passion for music is very rewarding. Each student progresses to their own pace; no rush whatsoever. Setting goals that they can achieve will encourage them to progress on track. Acknowledging their accomplishments will keep their desire to continue learning more. I recommend that when they practice, to have them play it for an audience, like family or friends. That way they can be comfortable playing for others because when they are put into recitals, Student Day, the National Guild of Piano Teachers, etc. they'll be able to play at ease, and at the same time, enjoy it too.
