As a third generation musician, I've been playing professionally and teaching for over 25 years. I've had years of private lessons, graduated from GIT in Hollywood, taken college music courses and continue to perform, record, and teach music. YOU can have fun, learning songs that YOU like, or you can learn music theory (the explanation of music) or study different styles from rock to pop to hard core to blues, funk etc. All at YOUR pace. Many of my students, started from the point where they had never picked up an instrument and have gone on to tour or earn full music scholarships. It doesn't matter if it's a young girl wanting to learn some Disney Artist or some burly blue collar worker wanting to learn some Clapton: YOU can have fun learning guitar while improving at a rapid rate. Contact me, I'll make learning music and guitar a very painless process.

I began playing percussion at the age of 11 because for some reason at the middle school I was attending it was the "cool thing" to do. At 12 years old my father gave me his old Tama swingstar drum set and since then I haven't got off a drum throne. At 13 years I had the opportunity to perform with my middle school concert band at the world famous Carnegie Hall. I continued pursuing my music career in high school by taking private lessons while participating in the high school drumline and jazz band. By my junior year of high school I auditioned to be one of Gwen Stefani's (of No Doubt) background drummers for her 2006 Holla Back Girl Tour where I had the opportunity to perform on such stages as the Anaheim Pond (now the Honda Center) and the Hollywood Bowl. immediately after high school I began doing recording sessions and touring all over the U.S and Europe with many different artists such as; Kid Cudi, The Knux, Slapbak, Latin recording artists; LaLa, Carlos Pena, and La...

I was born in Moscow in 1986 and started playing guitar when I was 11 years old. I got pretty lucky because when I was 15, I was hired to go on tour with a popular band in Russia. After a year of traveling and performing, I decided that it was time to take my guitar skills to the next level so I applied to the Russian College of Music to study Jazz and Classical guitar. I kept working as a studio musician and continued traveling around Russia as a hired musician. I appeared in many magazines such as: “Guitar Player” (Russian Edition), “Guitarist”, “MuzCube”, “Fuzz”, and many others. In 2006 I moved to the United States and basically had to start over as a musician.

I have been a student of the drums myself for 17 years. I started like many musicians have, learning to play a musical instrument in the school orchestra. I picked up some drum sticks and haven't put them down since. My favorite styles of music are funk and rock. I have studied orchestral drumming, drumset, and music theory for 2 years at the university level. I love to teach and finding ways of making drumming easy to understand. I currently play with 2 bands and record whenever an opportunity arises.

Most of my experience comes from non stop gigging.
