Graduated from the P. I. Tchaikovsky National Music Academy of Ukraine. Has about 15 years of teaching experience in Ukraine and abroad. He worked in academies, symphony and chamber orchestras, opera theaters, as well as in jazz and pop groups, toured in many countries of the world. Such a broad performing path allows him to work with students of any level and cover different styles - from academic school to pop music and jazz.
As a teacher, he develops the "Performing Consciousness" methodology, which combines teaching and performance into a single system of thinking. Classes are aimed at ensuring that students perceive music holistically, are able to consciously control the game and express themselves through the instrument. Preparation for competitions, entrance exams and concert performances in Ukraine and abroad is also an important component.
He is the author of the Mad Art Music (Mad Art of Piano) series of textbooks, which combine creative material and structured methodology. They are designed to provide students of any age with access to professional musical thinking from the very first lessons.
The lessons combine academic tradition with modern approaches, create an individual development space and help to reveal music as a way of self-expression for everyone.
