About
I have developed my own style of teaching, suitable for all ages, using a mixture of classical European and traditional American teaching methods.
I have a Masters degree in classical piano (Kharkiv Conservatory in Ukraine).
currently have 30+ students 4-34 yo.
I enjoy helping students develop a deeper passion for various genres of music, elevating their understanding of musical concepts, and guiding them on their path of becoming serious musicians.
