Welcome to my website, where I share my thoughts on music, piano teaching, and piano performance.

 

I was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, where I received my Masters of Music in Piano performance from the St. Petersburg Conservatory. I have been teaching and performing piano for decades. I have experience as a collaborative musician and as a solo concert pianist. During the pandemic, I stopped performing in public but continued to learn and record new repertoire that I will share with you.

Learning beautiful music is very enjoyable! Overcoming technical and intellectual challenges helps me grow as a musician and a teacher.

I teach all levels of piano students. It’s important for children to start learning early and to establish a solid foundation in hand position, ear training, and sight reading. Some of my students stay with me from the beginning of their musical education to a very advanced level, and it is a privilege for me to see them grow not only as musicians, but as human beings. I feel especially lucky when my graduates and their parents keep in touch with me.

Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you enjoy it!
