Music university graduate and full time artist offering piano, vocal, theory and songwriting lessons.

Methodology

I tend to make my lessons appropriate to every student on a personal study level. I consider that every age, personality and practice level processes information differently, especially in a creative field. Although sticking to a tested curriculum, my teaching pace can be extended or reduced depending on the student's time and dedication. Being a recent graduate myself, I apply a student-centred approach to my teaching style, prioritising the primary goal standing behind the student's musicianship. On top of personalising my curriculum, I have previous experience in teaching according to the grading system (1-8) and Suzuki, as well as helping students with school exam preparation.

Recently a graduate of ICMP (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance), I am a full time singer-songwriter, playing bar residencies around London (gigging at least 3 nights a week). My days are filled with my other two passions - teaching music and writing music for other artists.

On top of English, Russian and Romanian are my native languages.

Experience

Born in Eastern Europe and raised between England and Moldova, my background is based on classical training (piano and musical theatre). I have been in music education / work since I can remember, relocating to London at 16 to pursue a (still blooming) career in songwriting and music management. I started teaching fellow uni students and my friends 2 years ago to support myself and build a network. Starting off with piano lessons, I then expanded my teaching skills to music theory, vocals and songwriting. Currently a graduate, I continue to teach these subjects on a regular basis.

I met Nata through a mutual friend and we instantly connected through our mutual love for music. I had always dreamt to play the piano since I was really little and my grandmother had one of those old soviet pianos in her garden. I never got the chance to, until I met Nata.
She is an amazing teacher but most importantly an amazing person in and out!
Even from my first lesson she made me comfortable and it felt like I was having a lesson with a friend.
I am now on my 13th lesson and it is going great - soon I might even be able to play my favorite song- Государственный гимн Советского Союза all by myself!! The national anthem of the Soviet Union all by myself !!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND NATA!

Mark

I was really nervous before my first lesson with Nata, but she put me at ease very quickly and we were able to set up my development plan that we've been following for the past 2 months! Absolutely love her approach, definitely recommend!!

Georgia

I took a five weeks course from here to develop my piano skills. She knows her stuff, now we are close friends. She even played at my husband’s funereal, it was amaizing and even the priest cried!

Iuliana

It was a pleasure having Nata as my tutor! She is very responsible, always came to our encounters well prepared. I was making fast progress and enjoying myself at the same time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a good piano tutor!

Pavel

She was really nice, I asked her to give my daughter a few piano lessons. My Jenny loved it, she even asked me to call Nata again! Highly recommend!

Jasmin

Nata always works hard to ensure her students are listened to and helped in their progression.
