I believe that everyone can experience the joy of making music at the piano!
I have taught piano for over 15 years in Russia and Scotland. My piano pupils have achieved excellent exam results and played in various festivals and competitions. I was born in Russia, in a town called Zhukovsky, near Moscow. I began to study piano at the age of 6 under instruction of a wonderful pianist and teacher - Regina Lopovok. In 1993 I graduated with top honours from the Children's School of Art in Zhukovsky and continued my music studies at the 1st Moscow Regional College of Music. After graduating from the College I began to work as a piano teacher and accompanist at the Children's School of Art in Zhukovsky. Later I studied Psychology at the Moscow Open Pedagogical University and received a MA degree in Psychology. My students benefit from my comprehensive knowledge of educational psychology, individual learning styles, memory techniques.
