I’m a conservatory graduate teaches piano, music theory for all ages and skill levels. I have over twenty years of teaching experience. I inspire my students to comprehend the secrets of musical art, express themselves through music and overcome the difficult path to mastering the piano. I focus on mastering the skill of sight reading. I have developed my own unique method, the main goal of which is to form motor skills of free orientation on the keyboard without the help of vision (playing "blind") and the formation of the skill of accelerated perception of musical text. I created a set of exercises that I use in teaching. This set can be constantly modified to suit the individuality of each student. In a non-standard situation, I can always come up with new exercises so that any student could acquire the necessary skills. Thanks to such an approach, my students do not experience difficulties in learning a large number of musical works, they can happily perform various music. If necessary, I make light transcriptions or ensemble transcriptions of favourite works in order to arouse even more interest and captivate with music-making. If a student shows pronounced abilities, or sets himself an ambitious goal of becoming a pianist, then in my person he will meet a professional who will develop the whole range of musical and performing abilities.
