Hi!

I have taught piano for about 20 years, with great success. Some of my students are as young as 3 years old, (including my own son) some are in their 70s, and everything in between. I love to teach piano and guitar, it gives me great joy and personal satisfaction. I've traveled the world in concert, but after having my baby I have settled in Beverly Hills, CA where I perform for and teach many celebrities and their children.

I am very patient, caring and encouraging in my teaching approach.

I hope to hear from you soon, and to have you among my many happy students.

Oksana.

My Musical and Education Background

I studied piano since the age of five. At nine I won my first international piano competition. I attended Saint Petersburg College and Florida State University where I graduated with honors in piano performance in...

I am a professional voice teacher, professional singer and master yoga teacher. After completing a Bachelor’s in music, a Master’s degree in Vocal Performance and a 500-hour yoga certification, I began my teaching career. I teach a variety of genres including my favorites, musical theater, opera, pop and rock.

I discovered that by incorporating yogic breathing (and various yogic ideas/exercises), with a positive teaching style, my students experienced accelerated growth. This tool helps students center and focus, freeing the voice. Incorporating aspects of yoga helps the student connect to their body, maximizing the use of their instrument. I specialize in maximizing my students’ abilities to express their art, build confidence, and perform comfortably.

Over the last 8 years I have shared my unique knowledge with hundreds of students, ages 5 and up. I help students develop the skills to sing any genre of music. I emphasize proper technique and vocal safety and connect...

My goal as a teacher is to make music enjoyable and educational for any student. I meet each of my students at their level and my passion is to ensure that all of my students' musical dreams come true.

I have studied classical guitar and saxophone since 1999. I continued my studies of both instruments while at university. While at UNT, I learned how to play all of the wind and percussion instruments and I studied piano as well. I have played in several bands and I have recorded three albums with those various groups (all original music).

I studied piano in Germany with Lola Poirier (a student of the famous Alfred Cortot) for 11 years, then with Philiip Evans in New York (professor at the Manhattan School of Music) and finally with world-renowned concert pianist Eugene Liszt at Carnegie-Mellon University, where i received my Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance with a Minor in Child Pedagogy.

For the past twenty-two years i have been teaching students of all levels and ages, incorporating some of my former teachers' methods with my own teaching style. I am passionate about awakening a hunger in each of my students for bringing and keeping music in their lives forever. I don't look at my students as children who play an instrument, but as young artists on the road to self-discovery and musical fulfillment! Although many of my students have used their proficiency in piano for college applications and scholarship opportunities, my goal remains to bring them to such a high level of playing that they will be able...

I am a graduate of Conservatory of Music in Iran. I have been playing piano since I was 6 years old. My background and training is in classical music but I am very comfortable working with students who are interested in popular, jazz, broadway or new age music.
I am also a kindermusick educator which gave me the opportunity to work with babies and moms introducing the notion of music and rythm to them with singing and introduction of instruments.

I started singing in a rock band but transitioned to classical vocal technique, receiving my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Music: vocal performance. I have sung with professional groups such as Los Angeles Opera, The Verdi Chorus, Opera New Jersey, Opera a la Carte and the Los Angeles Cathedral Choir. As a teacher, my first and foremost goal is to foster confidence in your approach to singing. I have a wide background of vocal study and love seeing progress in students at any level of experience!

Master Degree in Historical Musicology from The University of London
Master Degree in Music Performance from The University of Arizona
Bachelor Degree in Music Performance San Francisco Conservatory of Music

I have performed in various concert halls and events in the US and over seas. Recently I have been playing flamenco guitar in various dance studios and workshops in Los Angeles. I have been teaching private lessons for a local music school for several years and part time staff at a local University.
I am dedicated teacher and love helping people achieve their musical goals.

From a young age, I have been deeply involved in the musical community. I began studying piano when I was three, and throughout my education, I’ve learned from such accomplished instructors as Belle Mehus and Christopher Taylor. After receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance from The University of Mary in North Dakota, I continue to study, teach, perform, and compose. I’ve also studied guitar and bass for nearly twenty years.  I love playing and teaching these instruments because of the strong correlations between the way they are tuned and played and the way western music theory works—as well as the pure enjoyment that comes from them!  Additionally, I have twenty years of education in oboe and other woodwind instruments. I was principle oboist for two orchestras and reached the third round of auditions for 3rd oboe in The Minnesota Orchestra in 2006. Lastly, I have been an active vocalist since being a boy soprano in Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors...

I am a pianist with a huge passion for music and for passing on that passion to others!

I graduated from Biola University in La Mirada, CA with a B.S. in Music in Worship. This program consisted of two years of classical training, including: private classical piano lessons, music theory, keyboard sight reading, sight singing, voice class, accompanying a voice student, music history, and being a part of Biola University's Women's Chorus. The second half of the degree was in the more modern realm of music, including: pop theory, voice lessons, guitar class, contemporary piano lessons, and learning how to play as a group/band.

I go into detail about my education because this is how I like to approach my lessons: in a comprehensive way where students can choose which direction they would like to go in and receive more than just piano lessons -- I teach music theory, sight reading, ear training, and tailor the lessons to the student and what they really want to learn! I like to...

I have had a love for music since I was 3 years old. I used to walk around the house making up songs and knew that I would make music my life! I began playing classical piano at the age of 8 and continued to play through high school. I performed in many competitions, festivals and concerts and know the hard work it takes when learning an instrument and beginning that journey. After high school I went on to study Vocal Jazz Performance at the acclaimed University of Miami in Florida, where I received my BA. I had the wonderful opportunity to study and perform with jazz greats like Kevin Mahogany and Kurt Elling. I have extensive knowledge and experience in studio work, recording and voice technique and have been a professional singer/songwriter for years. All of the things I have learned over the years I can teach you, i.e.: vocal technique and maintenance, performing in front of an audience, how to prepare for a recording session and what to expect in the studio.
I have...
