Instruments: Piano Voice
The method book I begin younger students on is Piano Adventures by Faber and Faber. There are 5 Level books to complete. We use the lesson book, as well as the technique book. I also supplement with solo repertoire and various materials. For the older beginner, I use Alfred's Basic Adult All-In-One Course, as well as supplemental solo repertoire. Music theory is essential in my studio, and I use various learning tools to teach theory. iPad apps, worksheets, games and manipulatives are a few examples. Read More

I've been slowly teaching private lessons while I've been in the final years of college. With the KU curriculum, I have had to learn how to work with children from Pre-K to 12th grade, which means any age is something I've been prepared for. Also, I got to sing with the Intergenerational choir at KU, which would happen at the local community center with senior-aged people. I've sung jazz, musical theater, and classical pieces since high school. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Voice Acoustic Guitar
for beginning students who are children and just starting out, i typically start with the basic elements of either voice or guitar, depending on which lesson you have chosen. once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire which is age - appropriate of course, in hopes of preparing them for a first recital, perhaps. for adults, i try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

Instruments: Voice
I believe that private voice instructions demands a tailored and customized approach to each individual student and his or her voice. As such, much of my instruction is based on what I hear happening in the singer's voice that moment. However, I have many exercises and resources to aid in the lessons. The first few lessons may seem tedious, as I usually spend this time becoming familiar with my student and his or her voice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a native of Russia. In 2001 I moved to the United States. In 2005 I became a US citizen. I studied music for seven years to earn my Bachelor of Arts degree in vocals and piano. I studied six more years in conservatory to obtain my Masters degrees in music performance and education. I love to teach and to see my students progress in their musical studies. I enjoy communicating with my students and their parents, if applicable. Read More

If they want to specialize in a certain area I use additional backup materials. I also encouraged my students to be involved in performances and recitals that give them opportunity to utilize their skills. Particularly playing in church is a great outlet for many of my students. I have about 30 years of teaching experience, 20 of which have been full time. I have several endorsements and referrals available if needed. My students' range from hobbyist to career focused.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I come from a long line of singers and instrumentalists. Many of my family members are recording artists as well. My grandparents were well known Gospel artists back in the day and I have many relatives that were well known instrumentalists. I am following the footsteps that have walked before me.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I think I would still be teaching, but teaching general education instead of music.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style/genres to sing are Neo Soul and R&B, however, I love to surprise people by singing Opera, Classical and Tejano because they do not expect me to know how to sing those styles.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I knew at age 12 that I wanted to be a professional musician. It was a defining moment for me after overcoming my fear of singing solo. I realized how much I enjoyed singing solo in front of a crowd. I immediately became hooked and since then, I have always looked forward to (and hustled for) the next opportunity.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I have a bachelor's degree in Vocal Music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
I would love to perform a piece by Selena Quintanilla. Her songs are in Spanish and I like to challenge myself to learn the lyrics and style. In college, students were never required to learn songs in Spanish and I would love to change the trajectory of that.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I am most proud of being a recording artist and songwriter. People around the world are hearing songs that I either was on vocally or have helped to write.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Singing has been a part of me since I was two years old. It is an indescribable feeling to get up in front of a crowd and share your heart through song.
When will I start to see results?
Everybody is different and starts at different starting points. If a student is consistent in attending lessons and practicing at home, results will come rather quickly. If results don't come immediately, I like to say to stick with it a little longer. Some things take a little more time.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I believe that a parent/guardian should have a conversation with their child about lessons before signing up. It'll be more enjoyable for a child that wants to be there than a child who is being forced to take lessons.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing should be fun! All too often, practicing feels like a chore when it shouldn't. Students should take notes during lessons and choose 3 things to work on during their at home practices. Especially when it comes to technique. Don't overwhelm yourself with the amount of hours practicing. A few minutes a day is just as effective (if not more) than 5 hours of practice a day.
