Teaching

I have been teaching piano since 2009 – children from age 3, teenagers and adults. My students regularly win prizes at Jugend musiziert and at the International Music Competition in Görlitz.

From 2013 I taught at the Tatjana Worm-Sawosskaja piano studio in Schwetzingen, a class for gifted children and teenagers. I organised concerts there and accompanied students to competitions in Germany and the Czech Republic. Today I teach in my own music studio in Ludwigshafen-Edigheim and online.

My path

I was born in Ukraine and have lived in Germany since 1992. At eight I had my first lessons with Leonora Josiovitch, an exceptional teacher of the Russian piano school. At thirteen I was accepted into “Amadé”, the young talent programme of the State University of Music in Mannheim.

I studied in the class of Prof. Sontraud Speidel at the State University of Music in Karlsruhe: Bachelor's degrees in performance and in piano pedagogy, both with the top grade 1.0 and distinction, followed by a Master's, also with distinction.

Music beyond teaching

I have won several first prizes at national and international competitions and attended master classes with Prof. Rudolf Meister and Prof. Jan-Ake Nilssen, among others. In 2010 I gave the premiere of a work by Violeta Dinescu and recorded it on CD.

I love making music with others: with violin, cello, voice and flute, four hands and even eight hands – since 2009 in a piano duo with Yoana Gassenschmidt. I also write concert reviews for the Schwetzinger Zeitung, including the Mozart Festival at Schwetzingen Palace.
