Music is not a profession for me – it's a calling that defined my life. I've been a music teacher, performer and arranger for over 30 years. I didn't always know I wanted to be a musician, but it was my first music teacher who helped me to open up and see my talent. I went on to study music further and got a Bachelor's Degree in Piano Performance and Piano pedagogy. I grew up and studied music in Kiev, Ukraine, but now I am a piano teacher in Canton, GA. I find great pleasure in teaching because it is what I simply love to do. I learn as much from my students as they do from me because each and every one of them is a unique individual and I have to find just the right approach to helping them learn and discover new things. The key to teaching something wonderful while having fun at the same time is becoming your student's friend no matter what age they are. So many times I had seen a child walk into the class thinking that piano was a torture device and walking out having discovered how fun in can be to play it, to create a beautiful sound. My teaching approach helps a child or an adult develop love for music and desire to learn. I will be happy to teach piano, music theory and/or music composition to you or your child. Let's discover the world of music together!
