Piano Lessons in Mesa Park, TX

Instruments: Piano Voice Synthesizer Keyboard

For teens and adult beginners (age 11 and up), I use the books specially complied for older beginners then progress to level three or above. I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun for the appropriate level(s). I like Mayron Cole piano method because it provide solid progression for rhythm counting, systematic build up for sight reading as well as introducing key concepts in music theory/history/genre.

I am a highly organized, outcome-driven and motivated professional piano teacher with solid experience. In 1994 I graduated from Music College in Tumen, Russia, with B.M.Ed of Music Education. Throughout my teaching career, of over 20 years, I have been driven to help my students achieve their very best. With my belief that music has the power to change lives, I feel that I help my students not only learn how to play the piano but learn how to enjoy it. Read More

More intermediate/advanced students will not escape from some of the basics (metronome, scales, rudiments etc.) but will be met with many more choices of performance material based more on their individual goals.

I emphasize physical relaxation and efficient movement to help students play comfortably and master technical passages. Integrating the principles of moving the wrist, arm, and elbow fluidly ahead of the hand to produce even tone and clear voicing, has helped my students overcome technical challenges with greater ease. I also focus on making musical phrasing and interpretive nuance, by exploring rubato, which avoids making music sound mechanical but as if speaking naturally. Read More

If you are not interested in that part of music, I will just sneak it in as necessary. Having had so much experience with so many apposing methods, I myself have learned that there are as many different types of learners as there are types of people, so it is best to let the student show you what works for them. I never have to push any students to practice because my method surrounds the students goals and abilities that they actually want to achieve. Read More
