My Teaching Philosophy
Music in general is a very important part of our lives even though we often do not realize this. It is the form of art which anyone can perceive, even without knowing the craft of music making, which is life changing for the one who learns it. Researchers say that the entire process of music making helps development of a child’s brain, positively influencing one's IQ by elevating it by an average of seven points. Science of human health and longevity says that professionals, who have the longest lifespan, are musicians. Another benefit of the craft of music making is in its ability to enrich emotionally and bring peace by letting musicians have their niche to escape to during difficult times. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said - ‘Without music life would be a mistake’

Testimonials

  • 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.
