In 2016, I received my Bachelor's Degree from the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan in Clarinet Performance and Master's Degree from the University of Northern Iowa in 2019. During my studies at the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan and University of Northern Iowa, I played in Northern Iowa Symphonic Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra of Uzbekistan, Wind Ensembles, different types of ensembles, and conducted Wind Orchestra and Clarinet Choir. In my career, I have performed many recitals as a soloist and with orchestra. In 2018, I was a winner of Concerto Competition at the University of Iowa and played Françaix Clarinet Concerto with the Northern Iowa Symphonic Orchestra at the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center.
I have been teaching clarinet professionally for 5 years. I have taught students from beginners to advanced. I also have experience of teaching piano from beginners to intermediate level. My teaching experience is based on fundamental knowledge and musical expression. Seeing making the progress of a student makes me feel happy and gives me inspiration to reach more with the students. I encourage students being good on their instruments because it has role not only for students' development, but also they can be great musicians and performers who will travel around the world.
For clarinet players, it is important to have correct hand position, embouchure, tonguing, and other fundamental knowledges. With students who are just beginning to learn clarinet, I start a Russian book called "Clarinet School" by S. Rozanov and "Clarinet Studies" by A. McCandless. For improvement technique, I use H. Klose's and C. Rose's etude books. When a student has enough experience, we study different types of repertoire in various genres such as classical, romantic, contemporary music. For piano students who just started to learn, I use a book by A. Nikolaev.
It is important that student does not lose his interest of playing an instrument. Therefore, I set some tasks for them that they can reach it. Once they see their progress, it inspires them to do more. Also, explaining a new material, I use a playful format, especially with kids who are hardly focused on the material. When they feel that they play a game, it will increase their interest and help to learn new stuff. If they reach a certain level when they can perform a piece, I organize some kind of concerts where they can perform for their family and friends which also helps to keep their interest in playing. Some advanced students get their inspiration in performance on stages. After each concert, they want to achieve new goals and do even better.
