Personal summary:

I have been into music since I was a child. A little bit later I realized that I want to teach music to children. 
I like working with school-age kids, but the most pleasant lessons are with pre-school kids.
I began working with kids even as a student and realized the way kids can inspire and make you happy.
I really love disclosing creative abilities, you know what? Every child has got such abilities.
Personally, for me, the recipe for a good lesson are useful exercises in association with interesting games and wonderful music.
And the best renumeration for work is a lovely smile on a baby’s face.
