***Will travel to your home***
Professional performer with a BFA degree in music and a BA in education. After trying to reach 30 or more students in a classroom, I find getting to really know students as individuals and working with them one-on-one is much more satisfying for both of us. I can guarantee success to anyone. I teach in the privacy of your home. My emphasis is on fundamental skills and techniques. It is an easy step-by-step course. You will learn to play by ear as well as by note. My course includes theory, composition, arranging, improvising and expression.

Email: tamara@musical-you.com
I am a professional piano teacher with twenty years of experience of teaching music and I provide private lessons in piano for students of six years old and above. I am a Nationally Certified Teacher of Music (NCTM) through the Music Teachers National Association. I have degrees in Piano Teaching from the Ukrainian Music State College in L’viv, and a bachelor’s degree in Music from Kathmandu University of Nepal. I give special importance for achieving a beautiful quality of tone in order to teach the student not only how to play, but how to play well. Also, I help my students to learn how to understand and interpret music, so they can continue playing piano on their own, after they stop taking music lessons. Many of my students got international certificates in Piano performance and in Music theory in various grades of ABRSM and Trinity College London.
