My passion for sharing knowledge was evident throughout my studies. Having a background in Russian/Soviet violin school, my goal is to teach everyone the principles of violin playing I stand behind so that they can apply this knowledge themselves and in doing so, acquire independence. In other words – teach a man to fish! Years ago, along with my studies, I dived into performance psychology research as I was so intrigued by it! It would make me happy to be able to share this amazing knowledge on the art of performing and getting into the zone when playing to audiences. Besides enjoying teaching children and adult beginners, I feel that my strongest value is in working with advanced students, where my knowledge and guidance can have an immense impact on their musical life. I strongly believe in guiding each person towards individuality and finding their own unique expression, their voice, rather than making them a copy of their teacher. Technique serves a purpose only to enable our soul to express itself freely... Being able to inspire others is one of the greatest gifts. After each lesson, my students will have clear practice instructions to achieve all their musical dreams!
