Music is more than notes on a page; it’s a language of emotion, creativity, and confidence. My journey in unlocking this world for children began in my hometown of Tyumen, Russia, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Music Education from The National Academy of Culture and Arts in 2014.
But I believed learning never stops. Driven by a passion for contemporary music, I traveled to Nashville, USA—the heart of the music industry—to refine my craft at the Brett Manning Studio.
I improved my skills with international certifications, including Popular Music Performance (Grade 8 Vocal) from the UK’s RSL Rock School, music theory from the University of Edinburgh, and specialized training in child protection and instrumental programming.
My Teaching Journey
I launched my teaching career in 2004 by instructing vocal lessons at a private music school, even before earning my degree. Seeking a global perspective, I transitioned to teaching music at international schools in Moscow. For nearly twenty years, the infectious energy of children has fueled my passion for education.
My Teaching Philosophy:
A Symphony for All Senses
My core principle is simple: every child learns differently. I am committed to multi-sensory teaching approaches. We don’t just sing; we feel rhythm through movement, visualize pitch with colors and shapes, and understand theory through interactive games. My goal is to build not just musicians, but confident, expressive individuals.
