Als Musiker und Musiklehrer mit jahrelanger Erfahrung biete ich Klarinettenunterricht sowohl für Anfänger als auch Fortgeschrittene und professionelle Musiker an

Outstanding virtuoso musician and a passionate teacher fluent in different genres from klezmer & Balkan, to early jazz and classical music. Ilya has a clear and calm teaching method, adjusting to student’s needs and goals fully, teaching musicians of every level, from beginners to professionals willing to expand their skills/genres. Many of Ilya’s students became successful musicians, leading bands worldwide and performing at reputable venues, events and festivals.

Ilya is an outstanding teacher, in the way that only a few people can be. He is both attentive and caring, and approaches each student personally, depending on their needs. One crucial thing that marks a good teacher is genuine care for the students progress. In a true Eastern European way, Ilya pushes you forward to heights you didn’t know you could reach! After five years of studying with him I have built my musicality, my confidence and my professional skills. With every big event in my musical career he has been there to support me, and I have skyrocketed as a player and performer. Ilya is a great pedagogue, in addition to being a wonderful musician and a skilled performer.

I've been studying with Ilya for a long time.
A wonderful teacher and clarinetist, with a very clear and deep feeling and understanding of style.
Classes are held remotely, with a special emphasis on the klezmer. In addition to purely technical aspects, sufficient attention is paid to the roots, history of this music, and cultural significance for modern styles.
I can confidently recommend Ilya as a teacher, both for beginner clarinetists of any age and for those continuing their studies.

Wir lernen seit 7 Jahren gemeinsam mit Ilja. In dieser Zeit hat er sich als zeitlich flexibler, aufmerksamer und freundlicher Lehrer erwiesen, der immer eine Möglichkeit für den Unterricht findet. Ilja zeigt anschaulich, was und wie man etwas spielen soll, hilft, Lampenfieber zu überwinden, und unterstützt mich jederzeit. Es ist angenehm, mit ihm zu arbeiten und sich zu unterhalten. Dank seiner Anleitung habe ich bei vielen Konzerten gespielt, und jetzt bereiten wir uns auf die Aufnahmeprüfung an der Musikschule vor.
