Teaching Philosophy
Music is more than just notes and rhythms—it's a powerful form of expression that connects us all. With years of experience teaching students from ages 4 to adults, I understand that every individual has a unique musical voice waiting to be discovered. My teaching philosophy focuses on creating an inspiring and supportive environment where students of all ages can explore their potential and grow as musicians. I believe that music education should be an exciting journey, fueled by curiosity and creativity. Whether you are just starting out or looking to refine your skills, my approach helps each student unlock their potential and tell their own story through music. My goal is to make every lesson a joyful experience, where you feel both encouraged and inspired.
Musical Education
I gratuated from Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory (Master's Degree of Music Performance and Education). My education is related to musicology. I have a big experience of teaching piano, music theory, music history (more than 10 years)
Special Skills and Trainings
Certificate in New Media in Contemporary Art Program, Moscow school of contemporary art (2021–2022) Certificate in Sound Design, Moscow Music School (2021) I grew up surrounded by music from an early age, as my mother gave private lessons right in our home. From a young age, I was fascinated by the way she shared her passion and skill with her students. As I got older, I discovered musicology, which allowed me to look at music from different angles, as well as arranging and producing music. In addition to teaching, I also worked as a presenter of the children's educational project "Big Music for the Little Ones" in Moscow (for which I also wrote the original musical accompaniment), and was a presenter of the International Tchaikovsky Competition. These experiences enriched my understanding of music and teaching. Currently, I am a musician in the electronic duet "Tonkaya Sherst", and also a sound designer (I create advertising jingles and audio branding for various companies).

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
