I received my Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from California State University, Northridge. During my studies, I received numerous awards and scholarships. Among them were the Old Town Music Store Scholarship and the Pasadena Women’s Club Scholarship. In addition, I have performed in master classes of well-renowned professors such as Jerome Lowenthal and James Bonn. I have extensive experience in the teaching field and in collaborative performing works, such as chamber music and accompaniment. As a classically trained piano instructor, my main goal is to establish a strong foundation in theory, technique, sight-reading and repertoire in each of my students.

Items of Interest

• I am an active member of the Music Teachers' Association of California (MTAC).
• I have over 10 years of teaching experience, primarily focusing on beginning through early advanced piano students of all ages.
• All of my students consistently pass the CM examinations (Certificate of Merit) with high scores and the majority of them are usually selected for the branch honors and state convention recitals. I also strongly encourage my students to participate in variety of music festivals and competitions.
• The materials I use include "The Russian School of Piano Playing" and the "Piano Repertoire Series" by Keith Snell, as well as Feber and Schaum. Although these are the main method books that I use with beginning piano students, I’m very flexible in picking out pieces from other books that I think will suit the student better and enhance their musical and technical skills.
