About

My name is Sviatlana Al Utaibi.

I am a pianist and music educator based in Dhahran.

Music has been a part of my life since childhood, and over the years

it has grown from a passion into a lifelong vocation.

I hold performance and teaching diplomas from Trinity College London and the Royal Conservatory of Music, as well as additional professional certifications. These qualifications allow me to prepare students for international exams such as ABRSM, Trinity, RCM, and RSL.

My teaching style is based on three principles:

Individual approach - lessons are tailored to each student’s age, level, and goals.

Inspiration over intimidation - I believe music education should encourage and motivate, not cause fear.

Holistic learning - technique, interpretation, ear training, and emotional expression are all equally important.

For me, music lessons are not just about mastering the piano - they are about helping students discover their own voice, gain confidence, and experience the joy of creativity.

Lessons for children and adults

I offer private piano lessons at my studio in Dhahran.
Each program is individually designed according to the student’s age, goals, and experience.

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.
