Instruments: Piano Accordion Mandolin Keyboard Acoustic Guitar
I started to teach during my time in Music College.It was teacher job in small elementary school with different groups of children in Moldova. After that I worked in Music school for students with individual lessons and conducted orchestra classes. After State Institute of Arts I got promoted in Teachers College for teaching music instruments and conducting of Folk orchestra. After fifteen years of working there,I worked some years in State University as music instrument teacher,after I moved in USA. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello

Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar
My experience as a musician goes back to when I tinkered around on an organ as a young child, then continued when I started formal piano lessons. As an adult, I have performed on bass guitar in two bands and participated on an ongoing basis in church worship bands, which involves learning a new set of songs for every service. During college, I began as a music major and received further training on piano as well as took three semesters of music theory courses. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
For beginning students who are children, I introduce theory, rhythm, as well as the instrument to give them a basic understanding of all of the aspects of music. Once the students has a basic grasp of the fundamentals, we will learn songs appropriate for their level. For adult students, I try to teach based on their interests, choose appropriate repertoire and help them meet and accomplish their own goals. The most important is that the students are enjoying themselves and learning - my main goal is to help the students succeed. Read More
Instruments: Piano Accordion
My teaching experience actually started when i was a senior in high school. The music teacher had ask me if i wanted to be his assistant. I taught notation to the student's. Conducted the jazz band and the choir. In small groups i would teach them music theory and correct any problems the student's had with their music. This was a very challenging experience for me. Teaching a class in music to student's my age was scary not knowing if they would pay attention. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar
When it comes to teaching, I find the most important thing is that we work towards the goal of what the student wants to learn - in the case of their preferred styles/genres of music, and the songs that they really enjoy. Every student has their own individual skill level and pace that can be developed and worked around. First, I would find out the level of skill and musical interests of the student, then I would create a lesson plan utilizing all of the tools at my disposal - both from my personal experience and from other educational sources, such as: Blues books, Rock books, Classical guitar/piano books, theory books, and tablature books, or music from popular bands.

Instruments: Saxophone
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Choose quality over quantity every time. Often times, there are events in our everyday lives that we can't pass up on and some times that effects our practice schedule. When faced with situations such as these, it's better to refine your session to one idea and really get it down rather than trying to cram as much in as possible. Take small, controlled steps when taking on a big project. Heavy leaps can result in error and cause frustration. Slow and steady wins the race and music is a life long practice.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
A good sign that you're kid is ready for private lessons would be if they take sharp interest in music early on or if they're seated within the top chairs of the instrument section they're in. Students who take interest early on might develop a good ear by singing accurately to songs they hear on the radio, are able to produce an uncanny amount of sound on their instrument for their age or perhaps can sight read easier than most others. The easiest way to find it would be to simply ask but that's when knowing your child's behavior is best. Some times a kid will think they're already good enough and they don't need guidance and other times they may be too shy.
When will I start to see results?
It's important to have goals or have a general idea that you want to complete for the student but it's also important not to think about specific dates for reaching a specific results. This ideology can lead to too much pressure and cause stress. If a student does their work efficiently and keeps a consistent pattern, results will come. You can start to see results within a few days or weeks, depending on much time a day you have to dedicate to your practice. The important thing it to not get overwhelmed. Patience is a virtue!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes! My high school band camp instructor inspired my friend and I to pursue music professionally. We had already been interested but he really refined our thought process on a lot of things musically and non-musically that helped shape me into the person I am today. His skill and knowledge was inspiring because he made everything look so simple. This way of thought really caught my attention when I was a student. He's still very active in the music composition community which means he's still influential to me.
