I have been playing the Piano since I was five. I graduated from a specialized music school in Kiev and now I am a student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. I teach classical, Jazz, and pop music. I have a very positive approach to teaching and will try to generate a motivating environment, as I understand that learning piano can be frustrating for some! My goal is to help you enjoy Piano as well as see steady progress.

Students will be required to purchase their own music and study books.

About Me
For me, teaching is always a lot of fun! Especially, when after my explanation students start to realize how easy it is to do things which they were dreaming about. It also happened to me when I had to deal with the same problems. Since I have always been a classical pianist, it seemed to be impossible to do nontraditional things like improvising, writing music, having fun with other musicians by playing with them, music which we hear right now. The problem is that I didn't have a teacher who would share with me his/her experience, so my way was pretty long. I had to practice really hard and search for solutions at the lowest stages on my own, which caused finding out personal tricks which I am always so happy to share with my pupils. It brings such a joy to watch how students apply my experience and overcome challenges which they were struggling with before.

The story of my classical music development is completely different since I was always very lucky to have the best teachers. Right now I am studying from Naum Grubert who is considered one of the best musicians in Europe. After two years of classes with him, my understanding of music completely changed! Every lesson I receive new discoveries which I am also so happy to share with my students!
Education
I graduated from the specialized music school in Kiev (2007-2018), and right now I am a 3rd-year bachelor student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (classical piano department):
Experience / Qualifications
I have been playing the piano from 5 years old. During studying in Kiev I was actively taking part in international projects such as:
• Richter piano competition
• Horowitz piano competition
• International festival "Moscow meets friends" organized by Vladimir Spivakov
• Chamber music festival and masterclasses in Ede organized by Anna Fedorova, etc.
After moving to Amsterdam and starting my study at the conservatory, I gained a lot of experience in pop music by playing at church every Sunday and performing background events. Now I teach private students for both, pop and classical music.

- I'm open to students who wish to learn Singing (any level), Piano (up to Intermediate), Composition (any level) and Music Theory (any level).

- For Singers : I believe anyone can sing and during our sessions we will build a healthy, deep connection with our voice. Physically, mentally and emotionally.

- I aim on creating welcoming, positive and judgement free environments in sessions. And as such I teach a wide variety of genres, from Reggae to Rock to Jazz to RnB to Pop, you name it. Your taste and connection to music is 100% valued here and we aim to deepen and strengthen that connection.

- A usual lesson includes a warmup / check in with our instrument, followed by intensive work on our current goal and some time in the end for reflection and/or setting a goal for the next session. I can also design quizes from time to time.

- I help with both setting goals, and achieving them. And we do that by having fun. I will guide you by suggesting songs that can act as a challenge from time to time. Could be technical, could be expression, could be theoretical, whatever I feel we need at that time. This also allows you to broaden your horizons as both a listener and musician.

- You're getting access to someone who is both self taught, and got the chance to learn from some of the best teachers in India and NL and loves being a teacher! Give it a try, first lesson is free :)
