Instruments: Piano Guitar
I'm a passionate teacher who understands and cares for the success of my students. I treat each students differently as everyone learns in a different manner. I began taking classical piano lessons at the age of four and then began learning the guitar at age ten. I was mostly self taught on guitar and took a developed a deep understanding of music theory and a love for the guitar itself. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I am highly motivated to determine the unique musical talent of each individual student, and their learning style and developing their potential. I have a Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Music in Piano Pedagogy, and an Educational Specialist Degree in Special Education. This degree is the same as an ED D, but many electives. Mine was in brain sciences, neurology, autism, developmental disorders, and music. This degree enables me to use music for cognitive improvement in autism. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Music Keyboard
My methods depend on my students' ages, experience, and instruments. I incorporate books from Full Voice, Suzuki, Schradiek, Piano Pronto, Bastien, and more! I ensure that my students are getting the essential education that will help them grow and succeed as a musician. In addition to teaching exercises, technic, warmups, scales, chords, arpeggios (and more), I also ensure that students are applying these things to pieces that are important to learn through lesson books and with songs that my students want to learn.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I am currently a fourth year student at DePaul University and I will be going onto my fifth year at the school as I am double majoring in Music Education and Vocal Performance, and double minoring in Psychology and Community Service Studies. I am originally from Ukraine and immigrated to the United States in 2009. My passion for classical singing, and classical music in general, began early in my childhood, as the films I would watch as a child were set to classical music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Music Keyboard
My teaching style is relaxed and easy going. This is because I try my best to cater to my student's needs. My goal when teaching a student is to be a resource to help them reach their full musical potential. This can be done by setting realistic goals, practice routines and using tension free techniques. I also try my best when teaching to give my students a safe space where they can feel free to grow, create, and express. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
Frequently playing with my siblings in piano trios deepened my appreciation for ensemble music. Even in elementary school my sisters and I would hold family concerts from which the proceeds would be donated to orphanages. Some of these concerts were featured by local television. These benefit performances continued in college where I would perform with my sisters for the children at House of Hope, an orphanage in Korea and continued to Charity Concert at Blair House Senior Independent Living Community IL.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Clarinet Recorder Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
My passion is teaching. It's my profession, as well as my hobby (I am a Volunteer Sunday School Teacher). My main goal in music lessons is to make the experience enjoyable for the student -- I'm not very strict when it comes to progress. In my opinion, a student should genuinely enjoy playing their instrument because progress inevitably follows. I love to do risk-free trials because the student and the teacher need to have a certain rapport for the lessons to be fully effective. Read More
Instruments: Drums
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Go to practice with something specific in mind. A pattern, or a technique, tempo, something you want to accomplish. It doesn't have to be too structured. Just something that you can focus on enough to keep you engaged. Then go wherever your practice takes you. You need to have a certain foundation (rudiments, patterns) because you need something to focus on. Combining patterns will keep interested in what you are doing. This is the key to the joy of practicing. The key is to A. be conscious of what you are trying to accomplish in practice and B. to simply start doing it. Learn by doing. It takes effort, concentration, and perseverance, but is ultimately one of the most rewarding things you can do in life. Mastery through practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Students need to be good listeners. If your child is able to focus on a specific task for at least a couple minutes, this is good enough to keep them engaged in lessons. If they express interest in music or drums, that is a good sign. You as a parent should also be ready to make some type of commitment to music lessons (making sure they show up, encouraging music things, [we can work together on this]). It is okay to try things out. Think about if your child would be okay receiving instructions from another adult. See if they like the lesson (I am very patient and will do my best to create the best environment for your child).
When will I start to see results?
You should see some results relatively quickly (within the first couple months), whether they be improvements on the drums or overall positive mood changes. One of my current student's parents has told me they notice their child is much more pleasant and outgoing after our lessons. Quick results in the child's ability to play drums will be dependent on the child's effort and/or individual practice time. Even if they do not practice much at home, they may still be able to play fundamental drum beats 3-4 months into lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My dad helped inspire my interest in music. He was a lead vocalist and founding member of Purple Reign, which was a wedding/party band that played and practiced a lot in the house I grew up in. They would set up all the equipment in the living room of what seemed to be weekly practices. I was able to get a taste of the drums at an early age and I always loved when the played. My dad also introduced me to all the classic oldies, funk, rnb, and pop music from the 60s and 70s. He would sing in the car and I always found myself singing along with him trying to harmonize before I even knew what that was. He encouraged me to pursue music and I might have given up if it weren't for his care.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I always thought drums were the coolest instrument. The energy and motion of the drummer driving the band, making the music happen. It was always something kind of magical to look at and listen to. The variety of percussive sounds you can get out of a drum kit is fascinating. It would blow my mind listening to what the drummer was doing, trying to understand it, trying to make sense of it. Its kind of a mystical experience what happens when you play the drums, and play them well. I loved them the first moment I hit the bass drum with my right foot and started to try to make cool beats. From there I was hooked.
