Spring Valley, CA Piano Lessons

I give a lot of importance to getting to know the students. Each student has different goals and plans in mind that knowing them makes the lessons so much more interesting, motivating and interactive. Students are in a road to discovery. I try to do my best in helping them in this path of discovery by giving them the tools they need which are learning the techniques and having fun and enjoying the art of playing the piano.
There is always so much joy and excitement in learning to play a new piece. I hope everyone can experience this.

Piano is an essential instrument for all musicians. No matter what you do in the music, you'll need some piano playing knowledge. I teach a lot of children how to play piano. Even if you are an adult, you'll learn the basic techniques in playing piano. I play scales, arpeggios and other exercises with you and go through some important and effective piano method books.

After assessing a student's abilities and needs, I tailor their instruction according to what best fits their individual personalities and capabilities. I stress proper technique, beauty of tone, rhythmic accuracy, and expressive musicality. Understanding of music theory is intertwined with the musical experience. Playing in ensemble is encouraged; I play lots of duets with my students.
The atmosphere presented to my students is always casual and friendly. I take care to make them feel relaxed and uninhibited. I relate to them as whole persons, not just music students. I strongly emphasize their enjoyment of the music and my expression of pleasure in their successes. I consider it a privilege to nurture others in the experience of music!

Piano is an incredible instrument which I have been teaching for over 25 years. I was classically trained in Russia and have been sharing my knowledge and experience in the USA for two decades.

The curriculum will be either Suzuki Method or classical, depending on the preference of the student. We will set up goals and checkpoints together. We will be exploring a wide range of eras and styles through the pieces. The student will have the opportunity to choose songs they are interested in and I will guide and make recommendations as well.

My style of teaching is demanding but indicative of a greater interest in the student's progress and overall musical education.

88 keys, 12 unique notes, yet only 7 letters to remember! It can be done. Start with songs you know and move on to songs you want to know. Work at your own pace and gain a lifetime of entertainment.

Experienced piano teacher for 20+ years, available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation in their playing skills. I specialize in teaching as early as 3 yrs old, I typically use different methods of teaching, no specific curriculum, it depends on students' personality, cognitive development, age level.

I do recitals at least twice a year, & that includes Community Recitals, Students participates to different programs & festivals sponsored by CAPMT District 1, National Federation of Music Clubs & Music Development Program by Royal Conservatory of Music to assess their knowledge, skills & abilities.

I use a mixed method approach to teaching that aims towards creating versatile and well rounded pianists. I change my teaching style for every student, but students will generally learn how to read music, music theory, technique, rhythm, healthy practice habits, and more. Repertoire can consist of classical, pop, jazz, etc. I am very patient and take care to make sure that students fully understand new concepts. I can also be very quirky and love making lessons fun and engaging!
