Since an early age in my life I have had a passion for music. My dad got for me my first piano when I was 5 years old, which sparked my love for this instrument forever.

I graduated from Russian Music School in 1976 and then University in 1980, majoring as a Piano and Vocal Pedagogue. I’ve taught piano for 12 years in St. Petersburg (Russia), 8 years in Connecticut,  and 15 years in Minnesota, with 47 students in my studio last school year. I am hoping I will continue to teach in Florida for many years to come.

I have a teacher/student personality – I love to learn and I love to teach. What I know is based on 35 years of music teaching experience and I have a lot to share with you. Read my Testimonials page to find out what my students and parents value in me as a teacher.
It is vital for the student’s success, especially in the beginning, when the kids are just starting to learn in my studio, to be in touch with the parents to better understand your child’s personality and to find the best way to connect with your child.
