He is recognized as an expert music instructor by the Music Teachers Directory Mr. Burlak offers Piano Lessons in Moorestown, as well as lessons for the string family instruments: violin, viola, cello, and guitar. In his own words: “I used to think music was an optional activity for kids, something you do for fun. However, the more I teach, the more I see the physical and mental growth music creates in kids - growth which they otherwise would not have. Not playing an instrument (or even two) as a kid certainly creates a disadvantage in the real world, mentally and socially. My students are consistently the overachievers. Is this because they play music or because their parents understand the need to diversify their skills and experiences? I believe it's both. Regardless, working with kids and building relationships that last for years is what motivates me to get up in the morning. " Below are a few videos of Mr. Burlak's instrumental performances: |
