My Teaching Philosophy
Music shapes our minds and souls. It develops intelligence, strengthens emotional resilience, and connects us to something greater than ourselves.

My goal as a teacher is to help each student overcome technical challenges while nurturing their expressive voice. True musicianship is not only precision, but emotion and imagination.

Testimonials

  • From Fran S.
    I'm an adult beginner, and Sviatlana also teaches my 10 year old son, so I'm able to see firsthand how she expertly adapts her teaching to suit the different needs of her students. Her teaching style is calm, kind and non-judgemental, which has instilled real confidence in both of us. Sviatlana's love and enthusiasm for music extends way beyond our weekly lessons, and she provides all of her students with resources to further their knowledge and understanding of music. She also organises recitals twice a year at a local concert hall, and encourages all of her students to perform in them. It's remarkable to see how confident her students are when performing, enabled by the safe and friendly atmosphere that Sviatlana creates.

    I feel incredibly privileged that my son and I have met Sviatlana, and are able to benefit from her extensive expertise and experience.
  • From Mahjabeen K.
    Sviatlana’s gentle yet focused approach has been instrumental in Sophie’s growth as a pianist and as a person. Her encouragement and belief in Sophie helped her achieve Distinctions in both exams this year. The bond they share, especially their mutual love for all things music and Radiohead, made learning both meaningful and joyful.

    As a parent deeply involved in my child’s musical journey, I truly appreciated how openly and earnestly she communicated with me to help Sophie stay focused and motivated.. We are deeply grateful for her dedication, belief, and the inspiration she has given Sophie.
  • From Dema T.
    Sviatlana has been an outstanding piano teacher for our daughter Zeina since 2021. Her deep musical knowledge, dedication, and gentle guidance have inspired Zeina’s love for piano and nurtured her growth as a young musician. Under Sviatlana’s teaching, we’ve seen remarkable progress in both Zeina’s skills and her enthusiasm for music.
  • From Sachiko T.
    Sviatlana is a truly wonderful and enthusiastic piano teacher. We can clearly sense her deep love for music in every lesson. She teaches with great passion and dedication, always encouraging our daughter not only to improve her piano skills but also to understand and appreciate the beauty of music. Her positive energy and commitment make every lesson enjoyable and inspiring. We are very grateful for her guidance and care.
  • From Veronique T.
    I highly recommend Sviatlana as a piano teacher. She's been an amazing teacher for our son, helping him begin his journey in music. Sviatlana is patient, has a deep understanding of the ABRSM program, and her beautiful playing truly inspires her students. Beyond her skills as a teacher, Sviatlana is a beautiful artist, and we are continuously impressed by her talent. Thanks to her guidance, our son excelled in his Grade 1 and 2 exams, achieving distinctions in both within just a year. Her performances aren't just technically impressive; they also motivate her students to strive for excellence. Sviatlana has a special way of making challenging lessons engaging and accessible. We are very grateful for the positive influence she has had on our son's musical education.
  • From Lilly l.
    Our 9-year-old son has been learning piano with Mrs Sviatlana for the past two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she created a warm, encouraging environment that made our son feel excited and confident about learning music.

    Mrs Sviatlana’s teaching style is perfectly suited for children. She is patient, engaging, and full of creative techniques that make each lesson fun and productive. Under her guidance, our son has not only developed strong foundational skills but also a genuine love for playing piano.

    He has proudly participated in two piano recitals, which were beautifully organized and gave him a real sense of accomplishment. Thanks to Mrs Sviatlana’s support and dedication, he has also achieved Merit in both Initial and Grade 1 Piano exams through Trinity College London, a testament to the quality of instruction and the motivation she instills.

    If you’re looking for a piano teacher who brings out the best in young learners and nurtures both skill and confidence, Mrs Sviatlana is truly exceptional.
  • From Pamela A.
    My child’s confidence has improved immeasurably since starting piano lessons with Sviatlana. Her warmth, patience, and encouragement have created a space where learning feels both joyful and inspiring.

    Sviatlana’s attention to technical detail is exceptional from careful hand placement to precise posture and movement, every aspect is guided with care and expertise. Yet what truly sets her apart is the way she nurtures musicality, helping my child understand how to express emotion and character through music, not just playing the notes.

    This balanced focus on both technique and artistry has made an extraordinary difference. Not only has my child achieved Grade 1, but the confidence gained through these lessons has also spilled into other parts of her life, giving her a sense of self-assurance and joy that extends far beyond the piano.

    I couldn’t recommend Sviatlana highly enough as she teaches not only music, but also confidence, creativity, and heart.
  • From Shama
    Sviatlana has taught both my daughter and son. She has a gentle, calming way to handle kids which makes her an amazing teacher. With my daughter who had a knack for music, Sviatlana managed to tailor the lessons on an accelerated path. While for my son, she tuned the teaching style to create a spark in him, who was at the time not too keen on learning piano. In a lovely way, Sviatlana has made both my children flourish in music and I would always recommend her.
