Pavel Markelov

I am a conductor, arranger, piano player, clarinetist, and teacher. As a passionate and versatile musician, I am driven by the reward of helping students grow into spirited and skilled musicians. My educational philosophy is to help students discover the joy of playing music and, in turn, dedicate themselves to this art through willing and enthusiastic practice. I guarantee that students will find drastic improvements in not only their technical dexterity but also in their ability to express musicianship through emotion. ➢ My education comprises a Master’s Degree in Musical Arts from the pedagogical university Gnesin Academy. I continued my pursuit of music at the P.I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music as a student, and then as an apprentice assistant professor after graduating. ➢ From 2014 through 2022, I have been teaching music majors in the Earl Haig Claude Watson Arts Program. I was also involved with church worship ministries for 10 years, including being the music director of “Willowdale Life” and “The Scott Mission”. I am the first-prize winner of a National Competition in clarinet and second-prize winner in conducting. ➢ I like to make efficient use of lesson time, and one of the ways I do this is by using the app “SONATICO,” designed as an alternative to Zoom and other video-conferencing software to suit the needs of music lessons better. In addition, SONATICO offers many unique built-in features explicitly designed for music lessons to make the learning process smoother.
