 - About Me -

My name is Diana Shalyt. I am currently studying at Guido Cantelli Conservatory in the city of Novara, Italy.🇮🇹 Besides piano I am also studying the organ and drums. Already since 2009 I have participated in different international piano competitions in France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Russia, Italy and Estonia. In 2019 I had an opportunity to play in the Rakvere City Orchestra the xylophone, triangle and bass drum, as well as performing at a singing festival in Tallinn and marching with drums. I took also a part in the orchestra of Estonian Academy, where I played different percussion instruments and participated in the orchestras competition in Kaliningrad in 2019. In the summer of 2021 and 2022 I followed 2 courses with Estonian Academy of Music on the island of Saaremaa in Estonia, where I had lessons with piano professors. 

While studying at the Conservatory, I am constantly performing at different concerts, competitions and taking part in international projects. I also have a daily music blog on instagram where you can see a lot of my music videos and more. (@dianashalytmusic) 

- About my work experience 🎹👩‍🏫 - 

In 2022 I had my first opportunity to teach the piano in Tallinn in Happy Classes Centre where I had 2 wonderful students of 7 and 35 years old. Also during my studies in Tallinn I had 2 private students and i gave lessons at their house, the boy was 8 years old and the girl 13 tears old. In 2023 I teached the piano also to one Estonian girl who was 15 years old. 

As I moved to another country I have some new students and I teach in Italian and Russian languages. For now I have one Italian student who is 7 years old and another women who is 50+ old. And also every week I have an online lesson with my student who lives in Estonia and he is 13 years old. 

- About Languages- 

At the end I would like to add some interesting information about me.  My mother tongue is Russian, I also speak well Estonian, Italian, English and German and I am happy to have lessons and teach my students with this languages. 

• I am ready to speak different languages with you during piano lesson 

• Begginer level

We mostly start our lessons with studying the notes of violin key, bass key, rhythm, theory. After a theory we obviously have a lot of sight reading practice and then I give them small piano melodical and technical pieces. 

• Intermediate level

As they already know some of musical theory, I always prefer to ask about the genre they like, if it is classical, romantic, pop piece and before choosing a song I usually play to my students and ask which piece they like the most.  Also with Intermediate students I pay a lot of attention on technic, because I think it is very important aspect to play well the piano.

• Advanced level

As I said before I always ask to my students before choosing piano pieces, but as it is already advanced level, I usually suggest to choose something more difficult and virtuosic, so that student will have more opportunity to develop and work with.
