I began teaching my first piano student when I was 14 years old. I have since enjoyed teaching in many different ways. I've taught private students, homeschool choruses, pre-K-8th grade (using music curriculum that I created), 8th grade science students, large choirs of beautiful angelic children's voices, adult church choirs, youth and adult bands, gospel choirs, reading literacy students,and soldier medicshow to prepare for their responsibilities. I also homeschooled my own children. Read More

I would like to start my beginners in the aaron piano course book. I will also introduce music theory along with helping students to develop a ear for music, so that they can mix the two together to create their own style of playing. The more advance students will be introduced to John thompsons Mordern Course for the piano and the adult all-in-one course book. I would encourage my students to practice everyday. Read More

Instruments: Piano Keyboard

I absolutely love seeing my students really learn their new techniques and music! I am a very patient person and definitely allow each student to learn at his / her own pace, encouraging them to know each technique in several different ways, to truly have a good understanding of not only what they are playing, but how and why. I am a stickler for lots and lots of practice (what else? ;-) ), but honestly you or your student will only learn piano by practicing consistently. Read More

I was trained in the Soviet Union. The Soviet piano teaching continued the great traditions of the Russian piano school. Yes, the piano study was very challenging and demanding At the same time, all this hard work was incredibly exciting. Ever since I was first starting piano lessons I knew I was to share my gift. As I started college my desire was not just to play but to also share my gift and teach as well. Read More

I use an integrated style of lesson that is custom-made to each individual student regarding his/her voice type and needs, as well as different areas of music language that need more studying, like theory, music notation, solfege, rhythm, basic piano technique, ear training. When a student is ready,subjects like stage presence and audition technique become part of our lessons. But first and foremost rule in my studio is to have fun while learning.My studio is a no-judgement zone, where I encourage my students to be free, to express themselves. Read More

I have given lessons and studied a variety of pedagogical methods. Each individual is different and in order to keep the student motivated, a successful teacher needs to emphasize the importance of learning while never compromising the enjoyment one can get from the piano. I have taken piano pedagogy courses at Carnegie Mellon University and Belmont University. While in Pittsburgh, I served on the faculty of the Pittsburgh Piano Academy. Read More
