I started teaching private lessons in high school. I taught guitar, bass, piano, voice, and songwriting lessons at Biryukov Academy of Arts and Music for 5 years for both kids and adult beginners. I have performed, written and music directed a children's theatre tour where I taught children to sing, act, and perform in front of large crowds. I was trained classically in voice, but also have a strong passion for pop, rock, and musical theatre. Read More

I started in the year 2011. At the age of 18 I had a lot of contact with people who liked my music and therefore asked me if I could help them improve the way they perform music.

Since 2013 I have been officially working as a music instructor with students of different ages. Read More

It is important to know about your instrument to be able to properly use it. My students will not only begin with the basic fundamentals of singing, breathing techniques, and music theory; but they will also learn the anatomy of the voice and how the body allows the sound to be produced. Students will be given different assignments each week so that a progress report can be given to parents on their child's voice development. Read More

I typically begin scales and exercises early on and prefer Hanon and Czerny exercises for strength and coordination development. For voice students, depending on age and musical genre, I will work with the student on healthy singing by good breath control, releasing any tension and learning how to articulate words without interfering with vocal production. Selections can include classical art songs, opera, musical theater, light opera (G&S) and pop music. Read More

I love teaching and sharing my passion of singing with my students. I, however, never want to pressure a student to go in one director or push them too far too fast.

I also try to be there to the best of my ability for my students and encourage them to perform and progress. Read More
