Instruments: Piano, Voice

My teaching experience dates back to my days at the Belarusian State University of Culture and Arts where I was teaching teenage students piano. As I continued teaching private lessons at home, I've gained a lot of knowledge about the techniques that work best for my students.

Hi! I'm Maeve. I am a professional soprano with 13 years of instruction and 4 years of paid experience as a performer under my belt. Since 2011, I have attended voice programs at Interlochen Center for the Arts, Brevard Music Center, and VOICExperience, and I regularly work in churches and sing weddings. I recently graduated from the University of Kentucky, where I studied with Dr. Dennis Bender. Dr. Bender's students have studied at Juilliard, won the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, and sung with Houston Grand Opera - these are just a few of many success stories. Read More

My method of teaching is very detailed instruction. There are many books that tend to start with the assumption that you know something about music or that music is easy to just "pick up."

However, for those that are a little more outgoing, I first assess what level their at, and begin from there.

For more experienced students, I like to find out what their goal is and create a development plan for them according to their individual goals. Read More

Instruments: Piano

I began teaching piano my sophomore year of college. During my college career, I built up a studio of nearly 20 students, tutored college-level piano courses, and worked as a Teacher's Assistant in Sight Singing and Aural Training. Since then, I taught for two years at a Summer Music Conservatory in Texas, led week-long keyboard intensive seminars throughout Western Kenya, and most recently, taught at the nation's largest piano conservatory. I believe that lessons should be fun, fast-paced, and stimulate the whole child through a wide variety of songs and genres. Read More
