'I’m able to transmit my knowledge effectively to students of all ages and help them progress rapidly in their playing.'
Teaching Philosophy
I began my music training in Russia at a young age, studying with some of the most prominent violin teachers at the time, Zoya Mahtina and Eduard Grach, which has allowed me to inherit the principles of the Russian school of playing in techniques, sound production and music style. I later moved to the United States and continued studying with Dmitry Berlinsky and Emmanuel Borok, getting acquainted with the American school of solo and orchestra playing.
