About Me

I started playing piano at 5 and violin at 7 years old. I attended the prestigious Music School #1 in Bucharest Romania. In US, I played professionally for a number of years in different orchestras. I am also a software engineer with Masters in Computer Science. A background in these two fields led me to create special software for teaching music that can accelerate the learning by as much as 30% to 40%. Kids enjoy it and the parents can understand and follow their children’s learning.

I teach beginner to intermediate levels in piano and all levels in violin. Depending on your location I would be available to come to your home for lessons. The advantage is that parents don't need to drive and take time to wait for the child.

My Musical Education Background

Bachelor and Masters degrees from Wayne State University, Mi.
I have obtained scholarships all through my studies at the University, which paid for my school. I was a winner of the national Bach competion.

Masters in Computer Science form Georgia Institute of Technology.

Genres and Subjects Taught

Classical training mainly. I emphasize the correct technique so the students can enjoy playing with ease. “My kids” (they are like my extended family) learn music reading, rhythm, and theory. And most of all I know how to teach practicing effectively, so students achieve more in a shorter time. Each student is different so I adjust my demands accordingly.
I believe that students learn more and faster if they enjoy the process.
