Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Keyboard
I believe in creating composition, composition through improvisation classical and jazz training as well as rock pop and instrumental. I feel very confident in the fact that I can teach that 3 year old or a full-bodied adult and how to become a virtuoso as I did with one of my students in a matter of six months. I feel it is based upon personal motivation and I strongly encourage that in each and every precious student. Read More

I have been teaching for over 10 years. I have taught many students in multiple instruments and genres. I have a tendency for keeping students for many years and have had students go on to recording their own discs, music schools for college and taking their experience right to the stage for live shows. I encourage my students to develop their art and play live as much as they can. With over 25 years of playing multiple instruments, multiple music degress, constantly playing live concerts and writing music scores, I can teach and help develop my students in a way that will help them with their art and other aspects of their lives.

Instruments: Piano Keyboard
The most rewarding thing is to start a new student-wherever their abilities are- and watch their passion for music and musical abilities grow. The most rewarding thing to me is when I see something that a student has struggled with "click" and they master it and move on. I encourage students through every lesson and each process of learning piano. I strive to keep it at a pace that is neither too fast or too slow for the students, all while keeping the lessons fun.

My general philosophy in music teaching is to ensure that the student, regardless of background and ability, learns something from music aside from performance skills. Nothing excites me more than to see that a student feels happy from learning something new or overcoming a challenge. However, I also aim to build a positive relationship with students by seeking new ways to keep the lessons fun and to ensure that they are satisfied with the music they are learning, etc. Read More

I always incorporate music theory into my lessons but it depends more of what kind of student are you? What kind of music do you want to play? What level of playing do you want to achieve, depending on your answers I will create an approach that It's going to be the most convenient for you, not everybody wants to play the same style of music, however, I have my approaches to teach, books, songs, exercises but my first impression is to get to know you so you can tell me what is your goal.

Instruments: Piano Violin Bass Guitar Electric Violin Double Bass Music
I teach music by breaking down the elements of a performance to as digestible a lesson as the student feels comfortable in tackling. By setting such a pace with realistic goals I can keep students engaged and encouraged to work through material and really achieve a feeling of competency. I encourage players to learn a piece thoroughly and practice often finding that by the time they've memorized the music they can work on the finer aspects of musicality and performance that really elevates the work.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I think I decided when I started to learn the violin at the age of eight. I am coming from the musical family where my father was a singer and a pianist. That determined in large my future profession.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My father was a professional singer in the choir. He also learned to play the piano as a child. This had a huge influence on me to learn to play the violin.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
Playing the viola is similar to the violin except it is a bigger instrument and the music notation is written in the different key. Other than that-there is not much of difference.The violin has bright sound while the viola has darker timbre. It is up to the personal preference of a person which instrument he/she will like more. The violin plays the melodies in the orchestra while the viola accompanies in general. I started playing the piano several years ago. I like it because I can play several melodies at the same time. When you play the piano-two hands are involved and that is what makes it interesting-to hear several melodies simultaneously.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I play classical, pop, rock, jazz, latin, etc. I am open to all genres. Every genre has its interesting sound and harmonies. Jazz and blues is relaxing, classical can be both lively and calm, rock and pop music express intense either calm or lively emotions, latin has lively character... Of course that there are exceptions in each genre-that there are songs that are expressing different moods and that is what makes it interesting-to experience unique sound in each musical style. I enjoy playing all of them. If I must chose-I am classically trained musician and I grew up playing mostly the classical music so I like it along with the other styles.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would like to play Esaye's solo sonatas and Paganini's concertos. They are technically challenging but not overwhelmingly hard. It is possible to learn them but it requires a huge amount of hours to accomplish that. Esaye's sonatas have rhapsodic character with various harmonies that mix simultaneously. Paganini concertos have beautiful melodies and technically demanding passages so it has combination of both easy and relaxing and hard and lively. These pieces are wonderful to listen and represent the most popular repertoire.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
If I am not a musician-I would be probably the pastry chef or a cook. I like making cookies and cakes. I like also cooking meals. I like also dancing so maybe I would be a teacher in the dance studio. It is nice to learn different things. I like to learn the languages so therefore maybe I would be a teacher of some foreign language. I think it is important to learn different cultures in various ways-not just with music but through their architecture, language, traditional foods, music, etc. It is beautiful to get new knowledge about some culture because I feel a richer person then.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practice daily and try not to skip days. Even if you skip-it's not big of a deal because you will practice it the next day. Practicing is very important because it is major part in developing your skills as a player. I would suggest practicing with the metronome and without. Metronome will help you play in the correct tempo. IF you can't at first play in the real tempo-then you should put it to the slower speed and gradually increase the speed. Listen the recordings-it will give you an idea how the piece should sound and make you become more interested in enjoying music while you play it.
