Instruments: Piano Voice
My teaching style is flexible depending on your needs. If you need a more strict style (perhaps you are working on college audition), then I'll make sure you have the proper technique, repetoire, sight reading, and skills needed to succeed. If piano is more of a hobby than a career path, we can work with that as well! Everyone has a different style depending on their needs. Read More
Instruments: Piano
I tend to incline towards George Molineux's premise of imagery and teaching. Constructing my own philosophy of music teaching. For children I tend to start with posture, positioning of the hands, rounded fingers and finger notation. I understand that Molineux's teaching methods are of the 19th centurybut they are still relevant today in how we perceive music. We watch TV with music, we access our smart devices and play music, we play computer games with music. Read More

I have been teaching drums and music for over 10 years now, and I have truly fallen in love with it. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student progress and achieve their goals on the drum set or in their musical pursuits. I approach each lesson with a balance of structure and flexibility, tailoring the lesson plan to the individual needs and goals of the student. I believe in building a foundation grounded in technique and relaxation, while also encouraging creativity and self-expression. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin
Having worked with a variety of musicians, I now know that a real teacher needs to be a human of great discipline and compassion. I sincerely believe in a healthy and holistic approach to teaching. This is why I am always concentrating on the mental and physical well-being of my students first. I pay particular attention to mental readiness, self-confidence, and stage-fright control. For instance, I offer my students some breathing exercises or ask them to write a good self-critique as homework. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided to become a musician in high school. Yes it was gradual decision for me. A lot was involved into it. But i like my choice.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
Probably some average job. I always work hard no matter what i do. I encourage my students to do the same to get the meaning of it.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Classical style is my favorite. Because it has a rich variety and a lot of space to explore. And i share this space with my students too.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play only keyboard instrument. I decided to stay with keyboards. Whether its electrical or real piano. I had enough work with it to develop myself. Now i teach and develop others.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My family members are in Russia and they are not very much into music. My mother knows some basics of the piano and my dad plays guitar a little.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
My drean piece is Alkan ouverture. Because its melodic, romantic, hard to play. I like challenging pieces . Hopefully in the future i will achieve it. I also can teach it.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Mine is performance and i was taught to teach too. I chose it because i wanted to apply my skills and practice. And i think it worked.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
My practice is to be masterclass pianist. Students dont have to do it if they dont want. I play scales 100s of times daily and when i m not playing i listen to piano music to keep my mind with piano continiously.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I use russian method of teaching approach. Then we begin to study Hannon virtuoso pianist book. I studied it myself when i was a student . I still use it for my practises.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest will be left hand passages. Relationship between mind and feel for the hand. It will be accomplished with time. Its a gradual process. I think piano is longest instrument to learn.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
We studied to know and to learn. We didnt focuse on winning. They succeeded by practicing hard, following instructions, picking up their own way. My success came through enormous hard work.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Immense practice achievements, strohg opera knowledge, biigraphies of composets, feeling for each piece, love to play and to listen. Proud of my memory to remember thoudands of pages of music.
When will I start to see results?
After every practice. Like me every day. I practice all the time and still improving. To feel piano better, to listen to hear new varieties of sound.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes my last teacher from princeton. He showed me new ways to play. Still following rules and classical traditions. After i practiced hundreds of hours i decided to continue to this day!
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Piano and music education was the only talent and passion i had for. It just came naturally. I played since kindergarten. Now i perform often and have a lot of students to teach.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Follow instructions closely. Always communicate with teacher. Love what you do. Understand the importance of it. I study 12 hours a day 6 days a week. I m willing to put my progress in my students.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
At 4 years old is normal to start. But you can start anytime. Its never too late. Discuss with your kid that it could be hard sometimes. Piano is the hardest instrument of all. But together we will get it!
