Liudmyla
About
Hello, everyone! My name is Liudmyla and I’m excited to start teaching on this platform.
I am a professional pianist and piano teacher with over 15 years of experience.
In 2015, I graduated from the National Music Academy in Kyiv, the most prominent music university in Ukraine, with a Master's degree in piano performance and pedagogy. During my studies, I became a laureate of numerous international competitions and improved my skills through various courses and masterclasses across Europe.
I am passionate about my profession and enjoy every aspect it offers—from introducing children to the world of music to performing solo and collaborating with other musicians.
For the past two years, I lived in Canada, where I taught piano both privately and at major music educational institutions in the city. I was thrilled to continue doing what I love—introducing children to the world of music. Feel free to check some of the reviews below.

Teaching Style
I offer piano lessons for students of all ages and skill levels, whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills.
In our lessons, I strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. I tailor each lesson to fit your personal goals, helping you choose the best methods and materials that suit your learning style.
My approach is all about making music enjoyable, so you can grow at your own pace and truly embrace the journey. At the same time I am also focused on developing proper piano technique, sight-reading skills, and musicality.
