Through music, you can see yourself through the harmony and beauty of each note, each musical phrase, its intonation.
I will teach you to listen to music, connecting your heart and soul. Through piano lessons, you will discover yourself, learning not only to play notes but to listen to music.
I love to make learning the piano a very enjoyable experience for all ages and levels (Beginners to Advanced). I'm especially interested in adults who wish to return to music after taking a break from childhood piano lessons or who just want to take their first steps. I also love to work with children and seniors. While I am a classically trained piano teacher, I also appreciate and share many styles of music with my students, including jazz, blues, Latin, ballroom, and more!

MY STORY
|
I started to play piano when I was 5 years old, growing up in Russia. I was very lucky with my first and only piano teacher, who encouraged me to listen to the music, to explore the beauty of music, to use my imagination to describe music melody. She often played piano with me in ensembles. I took piano lessons every week and practiced at home, working toward small, weekly goals.
Besides the joy of music, I learned music theory such as Italian terminology, notes and rhythm. I had a dream to become a piano teacher, and this is what I still do -- I teach piano. Hard to believe, I have taught piano lessons now for over 30 years! My goals in teaching my students are to keep their interest, increase their love of music and help them understand basic musical concepts. No matter which country I have taught in -- Russia, Germany, and the U.S -- my piano lessons are joyful, and my students feel connected to music and see firsthand how far one's deep love of music can carry them throughout their lives. |
TEACHER TRAINING

I was trained in the European method of teaching piano, which includes:
Playing piano this way means that music isn't just notes to be played, but rather it has heart and soul, and it can connect people. This is what I have learned and found beneficial from the European method of teaching piano. |
