I have 2 years teaching music theory, I love it! In college I became a total theory nerd, and I love discussing and teaching it. I can teach classical theory or jazz theory, and also implement ear training exercises. I start out teaching notes on the treble and bass clefs and move to key signatures, chords, and harmonies.

Learn all intervals, what the intervals are called in theory, how to determine chord quality, how to determine chord progression and how to figure out a melody on your own just by listening.

I very much like but not take it seriously with an American way of learning skills by just having fun lessons without committed practice. I trust in every child’s sense of understanding and smart motivation.
Russian school of teaching piano is traditionally the best due to centuries of polishing teaching skills by greatest musicians and teachers. We strive to master both technique and artistry. However, in reality, to achieve this might be a challenge. A fun makes it better. I use a combined American and Russian approach. To help students keep progressing, balancing between hard work and fun attitude, between technical skills and artistically emotional performance is my philosophy and passion.

I have been playing the cello for 19 years and started teaching in 2010. I use a hybrid Suzuki method, that introduces learning music a little earlier. For more advanced cellists, we concentrate on advanced methods and etudes to refine the craft.
