Larchmont, NY Piano Lessons

I'm a classically trained pianist. I have been teaching this subject for 10 years. I have a traditional and non-traditional style when I teach. I focus on technique. I also record the student's piano performances. But most of all, I make learning music FUN!

Learn to play the piano alongside music theory and songwriting!

I am a concert pianist with a passion for teaching. From a boarding arts secondary school to prestigious conservatories in both the US and Europe, I have honed my craft, and developed a love for sharing my passion with others. I have taught students at the Yale School of Music and at the Eastman School of Music in the United States. Additionally, I have taught a private studio for a year in Brussels, Belgium and given masterclasses at universities and schools across the Americas. My goal as a teacher is to instill my own love for music in my students.

After many years of rigorous study and successful practice of American and Russian schools of music education, I am able to draw freely from each to synthesize a customized learning approach that works best for each individual student.

I hold a Masters and Bachelor degrees in Music Education, Piano Performance, and Voice Instruction from Kiev State Pedagogical University, Kiev, Ukraine. I fluently speak English, French, Russian, and Ukrainian.

Hello! Through my four years at Juilliard I have studied with amazing pianists such as Frank Kimbrough and Dan Nimmer.
Although I majored in jazz trombone, I have been a proficient piano player since I was very young. I use the piano everyday to compose, so I am more than capable of teaching beginning to intermediate players how to properly play. I have a very cohesive lesson plan designed to give any student a well rounded basis for playing the piano. Teaching has always been my biggest passion, I can't wait to work with you!

Happy practicin'!

I like to focus on cultivating a love for music in my lessons! Too often, I have heard adults tell stories of giving up on music lessons at an early age, just because they didn't enjoy it! I think every kid learns differently, and creating a lifetime passion for music is the most important part of beginner lessons!

Ever wanted to play a song but can't find the sheet music? Ever found sheet music that lacks the sparkle you hear on the record? If you want to have command of the piano beyond just reading what's on the page - I can get you there! My piano teaching is based on strengthening 3 different areas, reading music, ear- training, and chord improvisation. Have your classical technique make your contemporary playing stronger and vice versa! Through these methods, you'll be able to be confident in playing classical, pop, jazz and whatever your ears desire. Take your piano foundation to the next level and also be able to write your own songs,compose your own pieces and record them yourself. I am passionate about enabling my students to learn piano in a cutting edge and relevant way.
