I am looking to begin accepting students in December 2012. However, if a primary school is in need of a music teacher -- I will be happy to hear from you and am willing to start at an earlier date.

P.S. I am fluent in English and Russian. In addition to several music degrees, I hold a graduate degree in International Relations and have done a significant amount of marketing work for various small businesses in the United States.
