I was born in Japan of Russian-Japanese musician parents. My father had studied with Emil Sauer who was the student of Franz Liszt. From my early age, I was also coached by Russian concert pianists and professors from Russia. At age 15, I went to Rome, Italy, to study with Professor Renzo Silvestri who was head of the Santa Cecilia and also with the famous pianist Carlo Zecchi. At 18, I was accepted by Royal College of Music, London. I have my Master's Degree from De Paul University and Doctorate from Northwestern University (1987).
I am laureate of several international competitions including the Viardo Int'l Piano Competition which does not have age limit. The competition was judged by international jury that included Dan Thai Son, winner of the Int'l Chopin Competition, Warsaw, Poland. I have given many concerts in USA and internationally. I teach all levels from beginners to advanced and also adults. I have been handed various knowledge and now share this with my students who win many competitions. I always try to develop the best potential in the student, be it for relaxation or competition.

Many prize winning students who have won recital opportunities at Carnegie Hall or have been accepted to Juilliard with full scholarship.
