Pianist
Jan, 2009 - PresentFreelance
I studied with Oxana Yablonskaya of the Juilliard School of Music and Edlina Dubinsky at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. I use my experience appropriately to teach young children, beginners through advanced students. I use my knowledge and create a system that is appropriate to the level of the student. I feel an obligation to pass on the knowledge that I have because learning an instrument is proven to stimulate brain development in children, and I believe music enriches a young person's life.
