Additional Info:
I am a Russian graduate of the prestigious St. Petersburg Conservatory with my Doctorate in Music Ed.D., D.M.A. As a Master Piano Teacher, Pedagogue, Accompanist, Performer and Concert Master I instill unique abilities and pianistic secrets into my students. From a young age to mature students, each possess the invisible knowledge and techniques to form wonderful musicianship.After my postgraduate studies at the Moscow Conservatory, I was rewarded with the distinction of Head of the Piano Faculty at the Professional Institute of Music in Chita, a most rewarding position I held for seven years. I teach Master Classes internationally and serve as a Judge at national and international competitions.
Upon returning to St. Petersburg, I joined the prestigious music department at the Mariinsky Theater home of the Kirov Ballet and Opera Theater. As an ACCOMPANIST
I have extensive and intimate knowledge of the critical elements in providing the secret balance and "blend" between piano and the exceptional human talent of nature’s gift to voice. The demands are of Olympic proportions where only the best of the best will do. The rewards to both parties are beyond words . . . for the event is art all in itself.
Unique to the exceptionally high standards of the Russian Conservatory curriculum, the syllabus includes extensive study in psychology. This mandatory lengthy course expands pedagogy to the distinguished Russian level as a Master Piano Teacher. This skill set enables me to understand the young student and to impart instruction best suited to the student’s abilities.
The all-important aspects of being a répétiteur are similar to a perfectly cut diamond where every facet is perfect. In musical terms, the balance between: Rhythm (the placement or position of sound in time) is possibly the most important element . . . but . . . also as important is the ability to "pick up" on the starting measure. Yes being a répétiteur to some is a challenge . . . to me I loved playing for the Kirov Ballet. The dancers, the strict structure, the precision of tempo, and the all-important aspect of trust must be there. Some prima ballerinas would only use their favored rehearsal pianist. This is the intimacy that juxtaposes with trust, for it is formed over a period of time. This same trust reaches beyond the keyboard, where I become a true assistant to the performer and to all of my students.
I now live in Vancouver Canada where I teach in the time-honored Russian Technique. Three of my students recently took first-place prizes in their respective age ranges, on the same day, during the International Young Mozart Piano Competition at Carnegie Hall. This was the first time in the history of this competition that three students from the same teacher on the same day were each awarded First Prizes with a cash award to all three young musicians aged 11, 12 and 14.
The Canadian House of Commons Ottawa presented me with a Certificate of Commendation to mark the occasion on the dramatic success of a trio of winners at Carnegie Hall New York. I am deeply honored that the Government of Canada recognizes my Outstanding Work and Contributions in fostering the advancement of pianistic achievements as Master Teacher and Concert Pianist.
I am available on a National and International basis and accept payment in: USD and CDN $.
