Valeriya is a piano and vocal teacher with a strong academic background and over a decade of teaching and performance experience. She began studying piano at the age of three, growing up in a musical family, and later received comprehensive training in piano, solfeggio, choral singing, and vocal performance. She holds a higher musical education, with a degree in Choral Conducting from the M. I. Glinka Music College and a Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance from the Institute of Modern Knowledge named after A. I. Shirokov. During her studies, she toured across Europe performing with a choir and later gained international performance experience in Nigeria, exploring both Western and African musical traditions.

 

Valeriya has been teaching piano and vocals since 2014, working with children, teenagers, and adults across a wide range of levels.

As a piano teacher, she focuses on building strong technical foundations, musical literacy, healthy hand position, coordination, and expressive playing. She helps students develop solid reading skills and a confident relationship with the instrument, whether they are beginners or continuing from another teacher.

As a vocal teacher, she works on healthy voice production, breath support, intonation, musical phrasing, and stylistic awareness, helping students develop both technical control and expressive freedom in their singing.

 

She has prepared students for entry into musical and theatrical institutes, worked with soloists and ensembles, and organized large-scale musical events. For the past five years, she has been based in the UAE, where she continues to teach, perform, and actively develop her professional skills.

 

In her teaching, Valeriya combines structure with inspiration. She believes that a solid technical foundation — at the piano and in the voice — is what gives students real artistic freedom. She regularly attends masterclasses to continue growing as a musician and educator, and her goal is to help students become confident, expressive, and deeply connected to music. She believes that when a student truly plays or sings, the outside world fades away and music becomes something that is not only learned, but lived.
