About

Hello! I’m a professional classical guitar teacher with 38 years of experience and a proven, personalized teaching method.
Over the years, I’ve taught more than 300 students of all ages and levels — from young beginners to conservatory applicants. Many of my students have gone on to pursue advanced musical studies and perform internationally.

Education and Training
I received my formal music education at the Music Academy in Zhytomyr, Ukraine, where I studied classical guitar from 1988 to 1993.

Professional Experience

Over the past 15 years, I have performed annually in year-end concerts at music conservatories in Merom Galil, Ma'alot, Beit Dagan, and other locations throughout Israel. In addition to live performance, I am an active session guitarist, collaborating in a variety of studio recording projects. I also work as a composer, creating original works for solo guitar and ensemble.

Teaching Experience
I have over three decades of experience teaching classical guitar to students of all ages and levels. For the past 15 years, I have been teaching at several leading conservatories in Israel, including the Merom Galil Conservatory, Ma'alot Conservatory, Beit Dagan Conservatory, and the Tiberias Conservatory. I specialize in helping students build strong technical foundations while developing their musical expression and performance confidence.

I currently teach in conservatories and music programs across Israel, and I specialize in building both strong technique and expressive performance. I focus on combining discipline, inspiration, and joy — so that every student can develop their own musical voice.

What you can expect in lessons with me:

  • Structured, goal-oriented lessons based on your level and needs

  • Emphasis on technique, phrasing, musicality, and repertoire

  • Preparation for performances, exams, or just personal growth

  • Supportive, motivating atmosphere

  • Lessons available in English, Hebrew, or Russian

Let’s bring your playing to the next level!

Teaching Style

My teaching style is structured, supportive, and highly personalized. I believe every student learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to the individual’s goals, level, and learning pace. Whether you’re a complete beginner or preparing for conservatory entrance exams, I emphasize both technical foundation and musical expression.

I encourage a warm, open environment where students feel confident to explore and grow. I give practical feedback, track progress carefully, and always aim to keep motivation high through relevant repertoire and clear milestones.

My ultimate goal is to help each student find their unique voice on the guitar — and enjoy the journey along the way.

Curriculum

I teach using my own personalized method, developed over decades of experience, which consistently leads to rapid progress and lasting results. The method focuses on developing a strong technical foundation while nurturing musical expression from the very first lessons.

Each student receives custom exercises, carefully adapted to their needs, level, and goals — whether it's mastering basic finger coordination or preparing for a conservatory audition.

I may use classical pieces, etudes, and technical studies when needed, but the core of my teaching is practical, focused, and results-driven, without relying solely on textbooks.
