Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Piano Lessons should not only be interesting, engaging fun and exciting; they should also give students a solid musical grounding. Upholding high educational standards makes lessons gratifying and inspiring because students see themselves making real progress at the piano. Musical education is a many faceted endeavor. Its not enough just to present information to students. A teacher must also create an experience where a student feels engaged and inspired, and, ultimately, the goal for every student whether or not they go on to pursue music is to develop a love and appreciation for music.

My experience as a voice teacher dates back to 1995. I was invited to teach several Masterclasses over the course of twenty years. The invitations came from institutions such as: The Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute, The Guildhall School of Music (London), The Cleveland Institute of Music, The Royal College of Music (London) and The Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I began teaching private lessons in my home studio in 2008 and in September of that year I was invited to join the music faculty at Oundle School, UK. Read More

As the author of this novel concept in the field of harmonization, Mr. Maksym R. has made unique discoveries in instrumental playing principles. For example, he teaches musicians to create spontaneously, and in diverse ways on the piano, often using innovative harmonic solutions. Furthermore, as a researcher in the field of piano improvisation, Mr. Maksym R. has developed a virtuoso performance technique that does not require warming up the fingers, or getting used to an unfamiliar keyboard, which allows the musician to always be at peak performing condition.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I encourage students who only play piano to try accompanying other musicians or themselves in order to strengthen their skills, and I encourage singers to perform with a local choir, try out for school musicals, and generally volunteer their musical abilities in their community. However, I understand and fully support any student's desire to simply work on their skills for personal enjoyment. My teaching style reflects a strong emphasis on practice, relaxation, and courage.

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
TAKE IT SLOW! This is one of the biggest challenges with practicing. No one wants to play scales slowly, or take their favorite tune at a snails pace to make sure they get the fingerings right. We want the end result - a perfect, polished performance - of course we do! But, that doesn't come without the work. If you're working on a piece, break it down into chunks. Take it bit by bit, and take your time. There's no rush, it's not a race! Set small, incremental goals that are realistically attainable, and before you know it, you'll be at the level you wanted to be.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I studied voice in a childrens' choir, and later their semi-professional adult branch, under the direction of Paul Halley, a Grammy Award-winning artist. That experience led me to tour nationally and internationally, as well as performing with other notable musicians, and instilled a real excitement about what a life in music is life, and how much joy performing can bring me. Under his instruction, I learned much about what I know of music theory, as well as musical expression, in an emotional sense.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
There are many pieces that I'd love to take the time to learn - In a classical sense, I really enjoy variations on themes. I think it's awe-inspiring to see how a very simple theme can build and change and become something totally different than what it was, while still remaining the same. I feel like variations on themes encompass, in a sense, what music is all about, which may be why I like them so much!
My favorite piece that I have performed was a solo version of George Gershwin's 'Rhapsody In Blue'. The late 1800s to early 1900s is one of my favorite moments in musical history. In the works of many classical composers of this era, you can really hear that Jazz is right around the corner. The chords and melodic phrasings that came from this time are some of the most expressive that I've encountered. And it kept right on going with Gershwin - he took Jazz and put a tuxedo on it, and brought it to the symphony halls. 'Rhapsody In Blue' is, in my opinion, one of the most masterfully composed pieces of music in the last 200 years.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My family is full of musicians! I initially learned piano from my father, who I would credit as my main and most influential instructor on the instrument. I started studying at the age of four, and transitioned to more repertoire-study around 11 or 12. He has a degree in Music Education, and has also been a church organist his whole life. Now retired from his day job, he plays in numerous bands consistently year-round. I have two older brothers, each of whom are musical as well. My oldest brother is a member of the Army National Guard Band, and my second brother has a degree in Music, and is a professional gigging musician and instructor as well.
