Elena

I am a classically trained pianist with a versatile approach to teaching. I share my passion and experience of music, sparking imagination and inspiring creativity of my students.
As my motto of life I use F.Nietzshe’s quote: ‘One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star’.
Having graduated from Moscow region College by S.Prokofiev (2007), St.Petersburg State University of Cinema (2013) and Odessa National Music Academy by A.V.Nezgdanova (2018), I completed my studies at The Royal Academy of Music doing my Master Degree under supervision of professor Andrew West (2020).

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I am a highly organized, goal oriented and motivated professional music teacher with solid experience in teaching. Throughout my teaching career (over 10 years) I have always aimed to help students of different ages and abilities to achieve their best. I am proficient in various teaching methodologies and able to choose what is appropriate for certain students, relying on their background, capacity, skills, way of thinking, personal qualities, age, and preferences in music taste. Using individual approach, I am experienced in teaching not only classical music, but also jazz music, contemporary music, neoclassical music and others. I am convinced that excellent results can be reached by encouraging students to share my love of music by introducing them as well history, theory, harmony broaden their musical perspective.
I am fully qualified, having graduated from The Royal Academy of Music in London, where I have obtained an MA with distinction honors in Performance. I also have a Bachelor Degree in teaching from the Odessa National Music Academy. I am DBS checked as well.
Currently I work at the School of Popular Music as a Head of Piano department, as a music teacher at the Blanchelande College and participate in lots of projects such as Guernsey Symphony Orchestra, Guernsey Chamber Choir and Ladies Choir "Bel Canto".
