About
I have prepared students for Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra, Metropolitan Symphony Youth Orchestra and for All-State competition auditions, which my students won. I offer various performing opportunities including performances at my Solo Recitals.
I have been passionate about music since I was a little kid. I have pursued music professionally, and have been successful at it. Now I am teaching future musicians and people that just enjoy playing music. I enjoy to see my student's accomplishments in their persuit of musical perfection.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Inquire the student's goals and figure out the nature of interest of the student in music. Secondly, determine the student's musical level at the start. Also find out if the student has any prior training or instruction and also determine if they have been using the correct technique for the instrument or voice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Ippolitov-Ivanov College of Music in Moscow, Russia with the Honors Diploma (Bachelor of Arts in Music). I also studied with Leonid Mironovich, now a professor at the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. I got Masters Degree from Ippolitov-Ivanov University of Music in Moscow, Russia. I also had Master's class in Flute at Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro, Italy and at the University of Music in San Marino.
