After completing our education at the Petrozavodsk Branch of Leningrad State Conservatory , we were appointed to the piano faculty
of the Petrozavodsk College of Arts in Karelia, Russia.,where we produced a number of students who have gone on to professional
careers. We had also dedicated more than 10 years to working with children in Karelia/Russia/, where we were founders of private
music school " TONIKA", training more than 100 students. It was very exciting experience in our teaching life. It was school,where
   students,under our supervision, wrote & performed mini-operas -    all our students learned also    piano,theory, sight-singing,music
literature ,composition and music theater.          Russian TV dedicated 4 films to the "Tonika" School & Theater.
           There,in Karelia, we have found our new way of teaching,that we brought to New York in 1993.
