I can teach beginners through college-entry anything from technique to music reading to audition selection.

Classical music and introduction of other styles in level appropriate pieces for children ages 5 through to adults, beginners to advanced levels. I'm able to adapt my teaching style to my student's unique way of thinking and communicate musical concepts in a way they can understand. I believe in not only teaching the mechanics of how to play the piano, but also the Language of Music, which provides students with a holistic understanding that encompasses theory, technique, sight reading, basic composition, and performance, all while sharing my personal joy of music. Children age 5 to adults, beginners to advanced levels.

Get ready for a truly rich and rewarding experience. Maria studied at the Moscow Conservatory with Viktor Merzhanov. She is a 4th-generation pupil of Franz Liszt and 6th-generation of Beethoven. She was one of the fortunate few (Garrick Ohlsson among them) to study with Roberto Eyzaguirre, who was a student and friend of Claudio Arrau, one of the 20th-century's greatest pianists. Arrau studied with Martin Krause, who was one of Franz Liszt's final pupils. Liszt was taught by Carl Czerny. And Beethoven was Czerny's teacher. Through this great lineage, learn an incredible technique that will enable you to play the music of your dreams!

I have 22 years experience playing the piano, and I would love to teach you or your loved one how to play the piano! I have been teaching piano lessons in my home for 4 years. My wife and I have created a warm, welcoming atmosphere for students and their families to be in during the lesson.

Beginning and intermediate students are welcome to contact me for more information. I look forward to speaking with you!

Even before my time at Berklee, I spent years striving to put myself into every musical situation possible. This gave me a multi-perspective understanding that allows me to comfortably advise students of all ages and backgrounds regarding several different instruments, styles, and theoretical concepts.

My favorite part about teaching, regardless of discipline, is the fact that it allows me to keep growing and learning while sharing my experiences to help others do the same. So whether you want to work on jazz, pop, or classical, feel free to reach out, and I will happily customize and create the learning environment that you desire!
