Dear Parents and Students,

It is my privilege to be a piano teacher for your family. Music has enriched so many lives, including mine, and I am excited to be able to share my love for music with every student I teach.

My music education includes experience in piano solo and ensemble performance.

My piano teaching experience consists of private and group class instruction since 1991.

In 2004 I became a member of Music Teachers Association of California and started to participate at Certificate of Merit Program (a complex exam for students including theory, technique, sightreading, eartraining and piano performance).

I started my musical training at the age of seven at a private music school in Khabarovsk, Russia. Then after eleven years of study, I graduated from Kirovograd Music College, Ukraine (in 1993), with the qualification of Piano Instructor, Solo and Ensemble Performer. I started to work since 1991 as a private and group piano and theory teacher, and also an accompanist.

After I arrived to United States (in 1997), I took piano and theory classes with Professors: Norm Weston, Naquang Chai, Rebecca Rollins, Pamela Worsester and participated in Applied Music Program. I also worked at Lifetime Performing Arts Academy in Aliso Viejo, Ca (2002-2008).

I have enjoyed all the teaching experiences I have acquired thus far in teaching private lessons and working with children.

I specialize in teaching classical piano and theory to children and adults from the age of six and above, all levels.
