Hi, my name is Tanya! Originally from Russia, I teach piano, singing, and opera voice. I accomplished all my education in Russia. After High School, I attended Musical College in city of Novorossiysk and continue my education in Krasnoyarsk School of Arts pursuing Bachelor Degree in music. I have teaching experience in Musical school for children, which includes piano lessons, choir conducting, theory and singing lessons. Not limited to teaching I used to perform as an soloist in concerts and choir competitions. In 1997 I've participated in Choir Festival in Tampere, Finland winning World Contest. I also have big singing experience in church choir and Chamber Choir " Elegy".

I've been teaching piano, cello, voice and theory in Los Angeles for over thirty years, helping students develop their particular interests in music and to encourage them to reach their personal goals. I love the classics but many of my students want to play popular music, contemporary sounds and jazz and that is fine too. I received my BA in music at UCLA and a Master's at Cal State Northridge. I conduct vocal and bell choirs, run a concert series, play chamber music, sing in a band and teach in the Community College District in addition to running my private studio.

Teaching and making music is my greatest passion. Coming from a family of musicians, music was an inevitable part of my life. I began my training at the age of seven. Growing up, I performed with several youth orchestras, was concertmaster of my school orchestras, was a featured soloist on several occasions, and was the recipient of many prizes and awards from various music competitions. I had the privilege of studying with some incredible teachers, who inspired me to make teaching and performing my profession. I received my undergrad in Violin Performance from Cal State Northridge (CSUN) in 2007. I also hold a music teaching credential from CSUN. As a professional violinist, I have performed with top groups in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. I have performed in venues such as the Disney Concert Hall, the Alex Theatre, the Shrine Auditorium, the Million Dollar Theatre, the Greek Theatre and recently at the Cosmos Club and the Turkish Embassy in our nation's...

I have taught private music lessons for over 6 years. I have been involved in music for over 12 years. I joined my first band playing bass at the age of 13, soon moving into my high school marching band, orchestra, and jazz band. I attended both Los Angeles Valley College studying music as well as California State University Northridge obtaining a degree in Film/Television composition. I have experience writing both songs and scores for documentaries, short films, and animations. I have a wide knowledge of many different musical styles and genres including: classical, jazz, rock, funk, pop, etc. I currently perform with two groups including a Sunday morning church group.

I am a New England Conservatory graduate, employed for the last decade as the feature pianist at the Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel. I am qualified to teach all levels of piano and music theory from the beginner to the aspiring professional. I have taught for the last 20 years and my experience as a performer and recording artist means that I will be able to help you achieve a level of success that you have always dreamed of.

I believe that everyone can sing, it is just a matter of learning how to use your unique instrument. From a very young age I was sharing my love of the arts with others as a performer. I grew up with an immense appreciation for all forms of art and found music to be the ideal way to express myself. My extensive education and performance experience has allowed me to cultivate my skills and knowledge so that I can best support each student on their own unique journey of cultivating their authentic singing voice. As a teacher I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to support students by providing the positive and supportive guidance and experiences they need in order to cultivate their own musical gifts.

While most 5 year olds were singing along to silly songs, I was entranced by the tribal drumming in the Michael Jackson's "Will you be there". When most Junior High student were listening to, well, whatever made them "cool", I was thinking of what John Lennon meant in his lyrics for "Strawberry Fields Forever." I have always had a deep passion for music that goes beyond the surface. I connect with the very soul of music.

Writing my first song at the age of 7, the creative fire began to use music to express what no other form of communication could. Struggling with the limitations of my vocal abilities at the age of 16, I decided to intensify my study of the voice, taking hundreds of private lessons in such techniques as Bel Canto Vocal Technique, Speech Level Singing(TM), Progressive Vocal Techniques(TM), and others, as well as reading dozens of books and hundreds of research articles on the mechanisms of the voice. While attending (and eventually graduating from) San Diego...

I have two passions in life: Music, and helping others. Teaching music is the best of both worlds for me. My goal with music has always been to inspire others the way other great musicians have inspired me. I believe music lessons can benefit everyone in someway. Music is a combination of art and math and is a positive way for anyone to express themselves. Can you imagine a world without it? How boring and monotonous!
