I am trained in the Russian School of classical piano playing. I studied under Professor Ryszard Bakst who was a student of Heinrich Neuhaus at The Moscow Conservatory of Music ( world famous professor and author of The Art of Piano Playing (1958) . Through my professors I can trace my musical lineage to Tchaikovsky , Chopin , Liszt and so on .

I also studied with Professor Heather-Slade Lipkin whose students include Sir Stephen Hough among many others.

My teaching approach is highly-professional, traditional and based on expert knowledge in my field. I am a patient teacher who takes seriously my goal of helping all my students to reach and exceed their potential.

I have a Royal College of Music degree and over 25 years' piano teaching experience internationally.
