About
My aspirations as a violin instructor are to enable students to identify, understand, and assess challenges they contend to search for possible solutions. I am a proponent of self-directed learning, and intentionally create situations in class that allow the students to learn through the unconventional approach. I also encourage students to come up with their own exercises and possible solutions for any challenge they encounter. In order to measure their learning, I require students to demonstrate the process of searching for possible solutions in class. The beauty and novelty of the solution that emerged in the process of solving complex tasks can bring an astounding joy of creativity.
I am convinced that only a creative instructor can foster a creatively thinking student. Therefore, to prepare the student for self-creative activity, I must actively enrich knowledge and share my experience with students, update and design study material depending on intellectual and psychological aspects of students, be aware of their interests and individual traits so that in the future they can use the knowledge and skills to apply not only at school but also in life.
I LOVE to see my students with a SMILE on their face when we together find possible solutions for any technical difficulties they encounter.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
As each student goes his way, the goal of the instructor is to guide in the right direction, help to overcome hurdles along their road to success. My primary role as instructor is to instill confidence in students, give impetus to ensure that they are constantly growing artistically, self-educating and improving, impose love for solving difficult tasks and exploring the world around us. It is important to be able to convey to students that everything interesting is challenging, and everything that is challenging – interesting!
