Concert Pianist & Moscow Conservatory-Trained Teacher | Piano Lessons for All Levels

From 140 C$ /h

I am an active concert pianist and music teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience. I graduated with distinction from the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory.
I work with students of different ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced and professionally oriented musicians. My teaching is rooted in the traditions of the Russian piano school, with particular attention to technique, sound, musical thinking, and interpretation.
In piano lessons, we can work on technique, repertoire, sight-reading, and interpretation. I also teach music theory, ear training, harmony, and musical analysis, either separately or as part of piano lessons.
For more advanced students, I can help with audition repertoire, exams, and preparation for music school, conservatory, or university.
I don’t use the same approach with everyone, because every student has different goals. My aim is to help students become more confident and independent musicians while still enjoying the process.

Hello, I've been teaching music lessons in Southern California since 2008. Trained primarily as a classical guitarist, I also have extensive experience performing and teaching a wide variety of musical styles, including rock, jazz, and blues. Not only will I teach you how to play, but I will also help you to understand the language of music and how your instrument can speak it. So if you are looking for an encouraging, patient teacher to help you learn a plucked string instrument such as guitar, bass, banjo, ukulele, or mandolin, I'd love to work with you!

Over the years, I've taught a multitude of students of plucked strings and music theory; given countless performances as a soloist and with a number of diverse groups as a guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, and banjoist; and been an active songwriter, composer, and arranger. Several of my works for guitar have been published, and I also wrote the first-ever method book on playing classical music on the 5-string banjo. I have my BA in Music from Cal Poly Pomona, my MM from CSU Los Angeles, and my DMA from Claremont Graduate University. I'm looking forward to working with you to achieve your goals!
