Teaching Philosophy
Music is a passion of our entire family. My husband and children are in the music industry. I have been working with students at the musical college both as a musicologist and pianist-concertmaster for over 33 year. I also worked a lot with many children who were pupils of the art school at the college. I worked a lot of with young and adult singers and accompanied them at competitions, where they became laureates. As a teacher I am always kind to students. I am always friendly, have enough patience to explain many times. I love all kinds of students, both talented and not so. They are all good to me. I believe that music is a necessary part of the upbringing of all children. I treat children with respect as adults, because they are future adults.
Musical Education
I studied piano from the age of 7 in a music school. Ternopil music college , 1982-1986, bachelor’s degree in musicology. Lviv music academy, 1986-1991, master’s degree in musicology. My musical training included thorough piano lessons.
Awards and Distinctions
As a pianist accompanist, I worked with different instruments, but mostly with singers. I like working with vocalists the most, because the human voice is the most perfect instrument. As a musicologist, I have spoken at the scientific conferences and wrote scientific article. I also wrote reviews for concerts and other musical events for newspapers and magazines in my city. I regularly participated in music theory competitions for the pupils of music schools from my region.

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!
