Instruments:
I have enjoyed teaching and helping students of all ages for 24 years in achieving their goals in learning to play their instruments. Educated at Columbus State University with a Music Education degree, I teach many instruments including piano, guitar, including Classical style, banjo, saxophone, clarinet and flute. If you would like to start on the trumpet or trombone, I can help you as well. I specialize in working with the novice musician, giving them a solid foundation in instrumental technique and musical knowledge. I can also help the more accomplished player advance to the level he or she desires.
Instruments:
I was born in the former Soviet Union in 1982. My family and I moved to the states in 1991 and have lived in the Atlanta area ever since. I have been classically trained in violin since the age of 3, and I also picked up the piano and guitar as I got older. I have been teaching music for 12+ years, and my instruments include: violin, viola, piano, and guitar. I also tutor in Music Theory and Music History.
Instruments:
It my job to meet the student where he/she from skill set standpoint and interest level. Then I build the skills accordingly. Once I begin to intervene with my students,I make the lessons approachable, so that the students feel comfortable, confident and challenged at the same time. I am gentle, however, my expectations are high, even for my lowest student. It is my belief is that as long as there is a desire for excellence, I will help you to the top! If a student is willing to grow, then I am willing to show them the road map to meeting his/her fullest potential!
Instruments:
Music should be fun. Period! Whatever the student's age or background, I will help them achieve their goals and have a great time in the process! I have been teaching (private and institutions) and performing for over 20 years. My extensive touring and professional performing background offers students a real-world perspective and continually keeps students motivated and inspired. Recently I was Adjunct Professor of Percussion Studies at William Carey University where I managed private lessons for all percussion instruments and wrote and directed for the marching line. In 2010-2012 I was a graduate assistant at the University of Southern Mississippi where I taught private lessons and rehearsed the percussion ensembles and steel drum ensemble. In addition to my teaching practices, I have conducted many clinics in the southeast region and have been on the Vic Firth Education team since 2004. Teaching is a way of life for me and I love to see students light up with enthusiasm when they have surpassed their own expectations.
Instruments:
My favorite thing about teaching music is seeing my students connect with the instrument and come to life with their first song. While I am a big fan of theory and the science behind music we always start with trying to make music. I try to make the joy of music the only reward you will ever want from your lessons and practice time. Also, since I do play various instruments I try to incorporate other sounds into lessons as often as possible to help you keep an open perspective on the music world. Finally, as a writer/composer I always encourage the creation of new music so some lessons will be all about trying to play something brand new that you have never done before. Nothing is greater in music than being able to share something that you created though your own hard work and creativity!
