I started teaching already during my studies of the piano in Ukraine. I received my Diploma in the year 1993.

My study of music based on the Moscow Piano School. Moscow Piano School put the emphasis on a brilliant performance, highly professional teaching, and comprehensive syllabus. For example, every student was attending an obligatory 8 hours week of tuition at school. In addition, he or she was playing 2 hours daily the instrument of his or her specialization. This school taught me discipline, endurance, and self-confidence.

But most people would like to play the instrument not aiming for the highest performance. Instead, they would rather experience emotions such as joy, happiness, or excitement. In the first line, the music is here to make people connected. People like to spend time together enjoying playing music.

I achieved an M.A. degree in cultural studies in Germany. Being in Malta, I continue my education by doing a degree in Psychology and offering music therapy. For this is a reason, I modified my teaching approach, offering music as a lifestyle.
