About Me:ShowWorld renowned conductor, Ben Zander, makes a practice of having orchestra members and students exclaim, "How fascinating!" whenever a "mistake" is made. This embodies my attitude toward the music discovery process, and I encourage both the children and adults I work with to cultivate this attitude of exploration and unbridled creative expression. I tailor my approach to the individual and their goals, providing encouragement and the framework to achieve them!

About Me:ShowI believe that, for a pianist, one of the most important conditions to becoming a good performer and a teacher is having excellent teachers. Teachers inspire and influence their students. I feel lucky that I had a chance to always work with some of the best piano teachers and professors. While being in the Music High School in Varna (Bulgaria) I studied with Maria Gineva (a Moscow Conservatory graduate), one of the top music school teachers in Bulgaria. Later, during my studies at the National Academy of Music in Sofia (Bulgaria), I had the privilege to work with one of the best piano professors in my country and an incredible pianist, Prof. Snezana Barova. She also graduated from the Moscow Conservatory where she studied with one of the best pianists of all times, H. Neuhaus. Working with these teachers, I was highly influenced by the Russian Piano School. I can say that I developed my performance and teaching styles as a product of this so-called "Russian piano style" with all of its characteristic elements - the beautiful singing tone, the flexibility of the phrase, and the unique expression of the performance. During my Doctorate studies at the SUNY Stony Brook I've been working with Prof. Dahl, a wonderful pianist and student of Gil Kalish.Living and studying in the US not only gave me the opportunity to observe some different performance approaches, but also new methods of teaching piano. As a result, in my teaching practice (especially working with beginners) I also incorporate some American Methods, such as Bastien's and Alfred's Methods. However, since I was taught in the Russian School of Piano Playing, that is the method that I primarily use in my teaching practice. Time and performance experiences throughout the centuries have proven that it is one of the best Piano Schools. In conclusion my belief is that a good teacher must have the patience and understanding that the students need and a good knowledge about human psychology, something that is very important when working with students from different ages and backgrounds.

About Me:ShowI have been a private music instructor for almost a decade. Not so long ago I was a shy 10 year old kid who wanted to learn Nirvana songs and was fortunate to learn from someone who could relate to me and make playing the guitar a lot of fun. My students enjoy lessons not just for the opportunity to study and create music, but they also appreciate a positive and fun environment I tend to put forth. My primary goal is to help people accomplish personal goals they are pursuing and not to orient them to what I consider most important.

About Me:ShowUsing different elements of ragtime, blues, and jazz to teach musicianship and improvisation, I have students focus on: * Reading (basic foundation of both clefs & use of a fake book) * Theory/Technical training (warm up exercises: scales, chord arpeggios, hanon exercises) * Ear training & transcription (playing with and transcribing from recordings) In any style, students will dramatically improve all elements of their music.

About Me:ShowI think the most important thing to take away from a music lesson is to have fun! The joy of playing music and discovering new sounds is what captured my imagination when I was a young child, and I always try to impart that joy to my students. Music shouldn't be a chore - it should be a fun, exciting experience! When teaching, I work to help students to progress toward their individual goals, and strive to provide a positive and inspiring learning environment.
