About
Hello! Looking on how to perform with comfort, relaxation and expressiveness? Welcome! Rather Classical, Tango Music, Improvisation and/or Performance Enhancement including overcoming tension and Stage Fright issues - my aim is to provide you with a pleasant, high quality learning experience, developing a healthy and happy relationship with your instrument so that you can enjoy and express yourself through any music style!
I'm a Professional Violinist, Innovative Pedagogue and Tango Expert. For 12 years I performed with the National Tango Orchestra of Buenos Aires (Latin Grammy 2015). Now I’m collaborating and performing with major Tango Maestros in concerts, festivals, tours and recordings as well as in chamber music settings and I'm working on my major pedagogy project called "The Inner Musician"('18 MC Award). I'm passionate about every one of my activities- as a result of my wide experience as a multicultural musician - born and raised in Ukraine (Artist Diploma), having lived and studied in Argentina (B.A.&M.M.) and in United States (Certificate in Performance, DePaul Univ., Chicago). Despite being familiar with so many fruitful and different methodologies, my search for freedom of expression found its way just when my need of feeling completely comfortable with the violin was finally satisfied. Though, I've developed my own methodology, combining the means offered by the finest violin schools and all the alternative, related disciplines such as Alexander Technique, Yoga, and Meditation working all together towards the importance of knowledge of our body, awareness of the self, need for enjoyment and educational relationship centered on student needs. I'm looking to transmit all my knowledge as I'm confident it would optimize and benefit your performance, health, wellbeing and teaching skills by integrating body, mind, emotions and instrument into one-a balanced and fulfilled artist.
I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have. Rather you are a beginner, intermediate, advanced or just looking to deep your learning trhough Tango music-we'll take it from there and follow the path together!
The lessons are tailored totally to your interests and needs. From violin parts to sightreading; from how to understand the mechanics to producing a beautiful, full, ringing sound; from set up to position changes, bow strokes, posture, varied repertoire, auditions; from classical to Tango music including improvisation - the call is yours!
For the last eight years my in practice-led research consist in daring and redefining traditional technique's meaning to be as comfortable as possible with our instrument, body and ourselves, easing to unfold our inner flow of expression. The use of self and our level of body conscience becomes of a crucial importance in all the performing science, as we aim for the best possible results. For this to be successful, is indispensable the conscious assimilation and thorough understanding of workings of our body by anatomy, physical mechanisms and muscles, involved in a specific performance discipline. Besides academic preparation, this approach is nourished by some interdisciplinary movements as Alexander Technique, indirect procedures, inner perception, meditation and improvisation, contributing to the complex integration of our body, mind and profound emotions into one, unique self. I strongly believe that freedom of expression is linked to constant search of freedom of movement, contributing to greater enjoyment and wellbeing with ourselves and our instruments.
