I was born in Russia and I began my violin studies at age of 6. Before I left to USA, I studied at Academic Music College by Moscow State Conservatory with professor Elena Demidenko. I received his Bachelor's Degree in violin performance from Manhattan School of Music. I'm currently doing my Master's Degree at DePaul University.I had an opportunity to perform together with famous Russian violinist Dmitry Kogan and played Saint-Saens Violin Concerto with the Symphonic Orchestra. I had an honor to get the President Award for cultural achievements in Russia. I also had a chance to play for Mikhail Kopelman and Emanuel Borok.I was lucky to observe a lot of different approaches in teaching of music from people around the world. I found that the individual approach is the most effective way of teaching. We're all different and unique. I strongly believe that everyone can bring something new to music.
