About
My piano educating method is based on combination of the Royal Music Conservatory (RCM) and Faber methods. Depending on student’s age, level, and enthusiasm I create an individual plan which helps to establish a good sight reading skills, solid rhythm comprehension, and improved piano technique. My students also learn about Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Pop, and Jazz musical styles and instruments, world composers and legendary music performers.
My goal is to introduce the beginner, guide the intermediate, and advise the proficient students on mastering the piano playing art.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I offer a free 15 minute trial lesson. Student is expected to demonstrate some piano playing (if any) and rhythm comprehension. It is nice to have an idea of what students (or their parents) want from piano lessons. It will adjust the intensity of our studying plan and help to build a specific repertoire.
Second, We make a schedule arrangement. I am flexible with in-person teaching for 30, 45 and 60 minutes. After our first lesson I may recommend a book to purchase or scores to print out.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am holding Bachelor's and Master's Degree Diploma in Piano Performance from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee
