I attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston, and I have a BA in Music. I am a working pro musician, regularly playing all different kinds of gigs with different bands, as well as solo, and regular gigs on TV. I have taught music lessons, and guitar in particular, for 17 years. I play all styles, but my favorites are Rock, R&B, Country, Rockabilly, and Blues (I also enjoy playing jazz, classical, and other styles as well). My main instruments are guitar (electric and acoustic) and voice, but I play keyboards, bass, mandolin, and drums also.

I am a former student of Dave Creamer, (Miles Davis, teacher of Joe Satriani, Jason Becker) Steve Trovato,(MI,GIT, USC studio and jazz guitar dept.) and Jamie Glaser (Jean-Luc Ponty). I have been a professional guitarist and teacher for over 30 years, having taught thousands of students, and continue to perform today in the Los Angeles area.

I am a musician through and through, my earliest memories are of feeling the magic of music and it has been my surest friend ever since! One of the best things about music is that anyone can be moved by it and I want to be able to share that incredible feeling with everyone, to not just love music but create and participate in music.

With the right teacher the even the process of growing into your skills is fun and rewarding! In my 15 years of playing guitar I have had many teachers, some good, some bad and some great. I know what makes the difference between them and that is not so much about the teacher's musical skills. It is about knowing the student. I learn as much about my students as they learn about music and that is how I am so successful, I take the time to find out what they love about music and how they learn. By never losing focus of those two things, the challenge of learning becomes exciting instead of frustrating and people are surprised at what they can...

If you would like to improve your guitar playing quickly, I can help out. I have been playing and teaching guitar for 30 years, including studio work for film and television. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance from USC. I am also a former instructor at the Musician's Institute of Hollywood, and Dietz Brothers Music in Manhattan Beach.

I have taught private guitar, piano, bass and drum lessons since the late 70s in Salt Lake City, where I majored in jazz guitar performance, and since 1980 in Los Angeles. I make the lessons fun. Some of my students have received college scholarships and won cash prizes for music contests. All of them had fun while learning and improving on their instruments.

If you want to learn what they teach in the guitar program (GIT) at Musicians Institute here in Hollywood, but don't want to spend $30k on tuition and living expenses to do it... Or, if you are planning to attend GIT yourself and want to get way ahead of the curve early, so you too can graduate with top honors... Schedule some lessons with me, at a fraction of the GIT price-tag!

Beginning, intermediate and advanced guitar players will all benefit greatly from the vast wealth of guitar- and music-related information and experience that I have to offer (no brag, just fact).

My influences include, but are by no means limited to: Frank Zappa, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Sting, The Cure, Duran Duran, Prince, Lady Gaga, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Miles Davis, Christina Aguilera, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Béla Bartók, Igor Stravinsky...and nearly everyone else making interesting music in the world.

I'm an experienced musician and music teacher who has played piano, guitar, bass and drums in many different professional projects over the years and provides lessons on all of these instruments. Stylistically, I'm also very diverse, and can play and teach rock, jazz, folk, classical and flamenco.

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.
