I am a very detail oriented teacher. Once a student gets a new piece of music I like for them to gain a general idea of how the music goes. We then begin to do more specific work. Once the student is comfortable with the notes and rhythms, together break down each phrase to make sure the technique is consistent. Because I believe every student is different and may need to receive information in a different way than another student, I can tell a student what is happening technically or I can explain it in a way that Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
On our first lesson I interview my students to get a sence on what types of music they like and what sparked their interest in learning the saxophone. Depending on the student that will be the methods to be used for example Essential Elements, Rubank etc Read More

In Russia, I was a concert pianist as well as a teacher of classic piano theory and performance. I was a soloist who performed with a full orchestra as well as being a chamber musician, accompanist for singers and for strings. Since I came to the United States, I have concentrated more on teaching. I have taught piano at many music schools and have also given private lessons, both at students' homes and at my music studio. My piano students have won multiple awards at music competitions in Russia and the United States. In 2006, a student of mine won first prize at the West Chester University Music Competition. Then in 2011, my students won prizes in the International Music Competition, the National League Competition and the Tri-County Competition. Read More

When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
A little bit of both; in college, I knew I couldn't possibly study anything else. How could I possibly dedicate 4 years of my life to studying some academic major when there's a building of people doing music 24/7 just across campus? When I left college, I initially took a job where I played a lot of music, but was working almost entirely with non-musicians. It's not that I didn't like it, but once the opportunity arose to compose and music direct a play at my alma mater, I remembered how much I loved being in that environment. I moved out to the Philadelphia area and rededicated myself to making music full-time!
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in music composition; I had never composed before college, but it was such an amazing practical application of all the theoretical knowledge I had amassed. I also tend to have specific artistic visions for how music should be performed, so creating my own music from start to finish was incredibly gratifying. The more I composed, the better understanding I had for the music I was performing, which in turn made me a better composer again. I love the way composition betters my performance and vice versa!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I love musical theater! It almost feels absurd to call it its own genre, because really, theater is just a venue through which all sorts of different genres can be played. Are we really supposed to call "Hamilton," "Les Miserables," "Rent," and "Pirates of Penzance" all the same genre? There's such incredible diversity, not only in style, but in emotion too. Every time I think I've found my favorite musical, I find another that I love even more, and the best part is that unlike many musical genres, I think the best musical theater composers of all time are alive and writing today.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My dad sang in an a cappella group in college and also arranged music for them; I definitely get my musicality from him. So do both of my brothers! We all sing, we all play piano, and sometimes both my dad's dad and my mom's dad join us; the six of us have a fully functional sextet that we often perform with in church. Some of the most fun I've had has been improvising harmonies to songs we love (or barely know) with my two brothers and my dad around the piano. My dad and I have sang together more than almost anyone else, and every time someone tells me I sound like him, it's one of the best compliments I could get!
