Lesson details
As a classically trained pianist in the Russian tradition, musicality and richness of sound are some of the things that I emphasize the most. I build on solid technical foundation by paying special attention to artistry and a deep understanging of the composition.
I mostly teach at advanced levels, including preparation for Royal Conservatory of Music examinations, ARCT diplomas, London College of Music - England, auditions, competitions, and festivals.
I also enjoy working with young children who are just beginning and with mature students who are rediscovering their joy for music. No previous experience is required.
