About
I am a master teacher focusing on the classical repertoire along with the very strong approache to improvisation. I am really helping each single student to achieve their interests in music rather than focusing on teaching one particular method. I just take a very similar approach to the Suzuki method but instead of teaching out of the method books I teach mixture of exercises and pieces that I believe are more fun and accessible to today student of any age. Classes are tailored to the needs of any particular student and constantly evolving. I am a true believer that this also enchances an understanding and love of classical music.
A huge range of students come as beginners and left as a young artists as well as adult students who came to learn piano and have found that they can perform professionally. And plus have a great deal of Fun!
I also guide my students in the curriculum and exams of the Royal Conservatory program. Exams are offered twice a year. Also my students participating in Junior festivals and community recitals. I have also been a judge for Lake Central Junior festival which held in University of central Florida for over 8 years and an assistant for RC exams.
Creativity and love of music are the key elements that I encourage in every single student. With my teaching skills and over 20 years of experience I am taking each single student beyond their own expectation while helping them to achieve their own goals.
Bio: I am a professional pianist, teacher and composer. Because of my through knowledge and experience with music I can teach all ages and levels an array of important subjects including piano, music theory, , improvisation, composition, music history. My goal with every single student to incorporate all those subjects into my piano lessons so that every student gains a through understanding of music and become a well- rounded musician.
I started piano lessons when I was 7 years old and quickly felt in love with the instrument. In spite of studying a very structured program I quickly began to explore my creative side and was always improvising on the piano as well as enjoying playing classical pieces. Throughout my youth I entered and placed in a few competitions. I was also involved with the band chorus, dance and drama and attended lots of concerts,plays, operas, ballets. It gave me a well-rounded artistic upbringing.
I Persuaded my passione for music and graduated World renowned Moscow conservatory of music with Master’s degree in piano performance and teaching. My education tought me to understand piano in depth along with music theory and ear training. If you want to sit at the piano and play what you feel or to master every detail of a piece of music so you can express it exactly as composer intended? I can teach you. I completely encourage all ages and backgrounds to explore their musical passion and discover the endless possibilities of Piano!!!
Teaching Style
My teaching style places strong emphasis on developing solid and efficient piano technique. I guide students in mastering proper hand position, finger strength, and fluid movement across the keyboard, ensuring they build habits that support long-term growth and prevent tension or injury. Technique is introduced gradually and naturally, so students gain control and confidence while still enjoying the learning process.
I use clear demonstrations, targeted exercises, and customized technical drills to help each student improve articulation, dynamics, phrasing, and overall sound quality. Whether we are working on scales, arpeggios, chord patterns, or advanced technical passages, I break everything down into manageable steps, making even challenging skills accessible.
My goal is to help students develop a relaxed, expressive, and well-balanced technique that allows them to play with freedom, musicality, and precision—no matter their level of experience.
Curriculum
My teaching method combines structured technical development with a flexible, student-centered approach. I tailor lessons to each learner’s age, goals, and musical background while maintaining a strong focus on healthy technique, musical expression, and steady progress.
To support this approach, I carefully select method books that match each student’s needs:
-
Alfred’s Series – Excellent for younger beginners and adults alike. It provides a clear, gradual progression with strong reinforcement of reading skills and technique.
-
Alfred’s Adult All-in-One Course – Ideal for adult students who want a comprehensive, efficient curriculum that includes technique, theory, and repertoire in one book.
-
Suzuki Method – Recommended for students who learn well through ear training and memorization. This method builds strong foundational technique and musicality through listening and repetition.
-
Bastien Piano Basics – A well-paced option for younger students, offering colorful, engaging pieces that keep motivation high while introducing solid reading and technical skills.
-
Faber Piano Adventures – One of the most versatile and expressive method series. It develops artistry, phrasing, and musical understanding from the very beginning, making it suitable for both children and adults.
I often combine elements from different methods to create a personalized learning path. This helps students build strong technique and musical confidence while enjoying a wide variety of repertoire.
