About Me
With over 15 years of experience teaching music in international schools across China, Ukraine, and the UK, I bring a dynamic and culturally rich approach to music education. Combining classical techniques with modern, student-centered methods, I help learners of all levels - beginners to advanced - develop technical proficiency, musicality, and a deep, personal connection to music. Through engaging lessons that integrate theory, sight-reading, improvisation, and performance, I inspire students to explore their creativity and reach their full potential. Let’s connect and make music together!
For younger students, I often use the Suzuki approach to nurture listening skills and a love of music from the start. with older students and adults, I focus on classical methods to build strong technique and expression. Above all, my goal ism to make lessons enjoyable, inspiring, and personally meaningful.
My professional background is rooted in years of dedicated music study. I completed 9 years of a music school, continued at the Music College after M. Zaremba, and later earned my degree from the National University of Arts in Kharkiv, Ukraine. This solid academic foundation, combined with my international experience, allows me to connect with students in both traditional and creative ways.
