About
I have graduated from the Juilliard school and the Moscow conservatory of music - the best musical institutions in the world . Having studied with wonderful teachers myself and being a concert pianist for most of my life , I feel great joy to pass all my aquired knowledge to my students.
I have been teaching piano for over 25 years , both children and adults, and have a lot of experience with students of all levels.
My lessons are engaging , fun and inspiring.
I have wonderful and lasting personal connections with my students and according to them lessons with me are more then just music lessons , but a great personal experience.
looking forward to working with you or your children

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I play a few pieces for a student to choose which one they prefer to work on. Then we start a process on learning the compositions - we start focusing on learning the notes , but right from the begining I address the issues of phrasing and character , always making sure that the process of learning each piece is inspiring and creative. With my adult students I make correlations with works of art and literature to make the process even more inspiring . With all the students I evoke imagery and speak about expresivity and character of the pieces , making self expression our primary focus .
