The human voice is the best music instrument. Every person who can speak has a voice. My task is to reveal its natural possibilities. Singing is a natural process that should easy and enjoyable. Any age is suitable to start learning to sing. But for children vocal lessons are especially useful, because they lay the foundations of correct pronunciation and breathing. Singing is good for health, singing heals. I work with students patiently and attentively, teach students not only to sing, but also to love public performances.

As a singer, I am a laureate of Ukrainian and international vocal competitions. As a teacher, I have more than 40 gratitudes for the preparation of the winners of the vocal competitions. Also I have 18 gratitudes from the college administration and from the regional authorities for the development of culture.
I have a lot experience in fixing serious voice problems. I often use game methods when working with children. In addition to solo singing, I taught such subjects at the music college: the method of teaching singing, protecting the children's voice and stage preparation.
