About Maya M.
Hi everyone!
My name is Maya. I'm a professional singer and vocal coach with many years' experience performing onstage and coaching.
I graduated music college and university majoring in contemporary music arts. I’ve been studying music since childhood and have won many music competitions.
I qualified to compete in Hollywood's “Glory Alley”, “World Championship of Performing Arts”, “Berliner Perle”, a jazz competition, “Gnesin Jazz”, and many more.
In 2013, I was invited by the president of Kazakhstan, Nazarbaev N.A., to perform a new year’s song at his new year's celebration.
In 2016, I was invited to London for The Voice UK casting. I successfully passed 3 qualifying rounds but due to visa difficulties, I couldn’t take part in the 4th round.
In 2016, I was invited to an event dedicated to the visit of Monaco's prime-minister, Michel Roger.
I have performed on many stages and at many events.
I have experience in soundtrack scoring for the TV Series “Vechny Otpusk” and “Tryukach”, and in advertisement scoring “Duru”, “Dezal”, and "Haribo”.
From 2014 to 2019 I was a vocal coach at other famous Moscow's schools.
I have collaborated with a few well-known artists.
I moved from Russia in 2019 and as I don't speak English as fluently as I would like and would like to practice with English speaking students, so for this reason, I will charge HALF of my full online teaching rate.

Maya was very patient with me and she guided me through the voice exercises and didn't pressure me to get to the next level...she said it will come in time, and she focussed me on the task. She allowed me to choose some of the songs I felt comfortable singing and we worked on those songs, and her relaxed and playful attitude made me enjoy the lessons without any pressure, and I stayed with her and my weekly lessons- I highly recommend Maya, as she can bring out the best in a person and get you singing in no time at all. She is worth every cent and if you need to learn breathing techniques- Maya is the person to help you improve. I wouldn't call anyone else for voice training...only Maya.

Maiia is a gifted teacher. She is a unique outstanding singer and at the same time is able to share her know- hows and expertize in an efficient way. I enjoyed our lessons a lot

Amazing teacher! She was my 4th singing teacher, but the 1st one who really understood my individual abolities and limitations. Thus I was able to make a real breakthrough thanks to the lessons with Maiia. Totaly recommended to everyone who does not have his parents as professional singers!

Greatest teacher I ever had. Maiia is very talented, attentive, and patient. the results she helped me achieve i never thought were possible.
Thank you Maiia!

Maya is an excellent voice coach! I have no background in singing, but have always wanted to learn. Maya has been patiently and expertly working with me. After just a handful of sessions, I can already feel an improvement in my abilities.

Best instructor ever!!

yay

it was so cool I love it


it was good


I'm a producer working on my own songs. But I'm not a good singer. Maya helped give me some amazing tips on how to project my voice and have more vocal presence while recording. She also gave me some really good breathing exercises which helped a lot with sustaining long notes. She is very patience and personable. I highly recommend and while be hiring her again when I have more money.

I've wanted to learn how to sing all my life and Maya is helping me do this!!! She is so patient and encouraging and knows exactly what I need to take that note or verse to the next level. I'm training from the ground up and making fast progress thanks to Maya! We start each session with warm-ups that help me exercise and train my vocal cords and breathing, and she changes the exercises each time to help me progress and continue leveling up. Then, she helps me rehearse a song that we've selected together, really helping me refine the song so that I sing it with great power, emotion and precision. I can actually sing a legit song now with great technique. I'm going to continue taking classes with Maya!!!

Maya is an extremely friendly and nice vocal teacher, she always smiling during the lesson, which provides me a confident sense while singing. And she has experience and techniques to improve my current vocal situation in a better way, and she motivates me to choose challenging songs to expand my singing ability, that's exactly what I want in the vocal training. Besides, during the quarantine days, the quality of the lesson is not affected by the online teaching method at all, but instead makes the time more flexible and stay health. I have ordered 10 lessons, and I have worked for 2 lessons with her. I'm sure I would continue learning singing with her for a long time. I strongly recommend Maya!

I had a couple of different vocal teachers but I am having the best sessions with Maya - she is kind, flexible, and really knows what she's doing. I only had two lessons with her so far, but I already feel like I am more confident in my singing and know what to work on by myself. I highly recommend her!

I am on lesson 5 with Maya. I started with no singing experience and Maya was great at using our first lessons to understand what I wanted to get out of our time together and assess where I needed help. After spending a few classes on just exercises to strengthen my vocal chords, we have started to tackle songs, both within my range and those that are challenging so I can continue to expand my skills. Maya is patient, a great listener, and flexible with my schedule. My partner has noticed improvement in my voice already and my lessons with Maya help my confidence each week. I genuinely look forward to our lessons. I'd recommend her to my friends.

Maya is so patient and she's helping me to work on the things that I struggle with. She's also very responsive when we exchange mail and when I ask her information about singing/choosing songs.

I have only had 4 lessons with Maya so far and I already love this woman! She is kind, understanding and reassuring, even when I know her ears must want to bleed listening to me practice my scales. Her techniques and teaching style are effective and easy to follow and she has gone above and beyond the expectations I originally had! She also has a great sense of humor so our lessons are never boring or negative and I always end our lessons feeling giddy and bubbly!
Thank you for all you're doing to help me accomplish my dreams, Maya! Because of you, what I thought were impossible dreams, I know now to be goals I can achieve! I appreciate you!

My first lesson was really good! Maya is a very good teacher! I feel that she has already helped me progress, and I'm excited to see the progress in the future!

Great first lesson

Awesome! She really helps me work on the things I struggle with the most and makes hard to understand concepts super easy to understand! Maya is the best !

Wow!!! Maya is for very nice and and very patient for beginners like me she made me feel comfortable
God Bless

I'm an advanced singer who has worked with Maya on a few art songs, and she taught me so much! She has a natural knack for helping with song interpretation, and her focus on staying vocally healthy really helped me stay on track. Totally recommend!


I was very very impressed! Maya was so nice and so patient with me. This was my first time ever taking lessons (I am an adult over 40) and was quite nervous. Maya made me feel very comfortable and really enjoyed her teaching. I plan to sign my 10 year old daughter up with her too! I would absolutely recommend Maya to anyone interested!!

Just finished my first lesson with Maya, she's great! Patient and good to point out the areas that I need to work on. Looking forward to working with her more.

Today’s lesson was awesome! I’m very excited for where this is going

Maya is a great teacher, I've enjoyed her lesson's very much and she puts everything in easy to understand terms, is patient and persistent.
would recommend to everyone.

Maya U r gr8!

My 10 year daughter took lessons with Maya. I was very pleased with the way she interacted with my daughter and tailored the lessons to be easily understood by a child. Maya is a delight and my daughter loved working with her

Gifted teacher. Very talented, easy going and professional. I’m very glad that I’ve found her.

Maya is very experienced teacher. She knows how to encourage and inspire you and make you feel comfortable. If I needed any clarifications or help, she was intuitive and would guide me well.

Taking lessons with Maya was a really amazing experience for me. She was so easy to work with and easy to learn from. I highly recommend her.

Very lucky to have a teacher like Maya. Truly talented coach and an amazing singer. She helps open up your vocal cords and expand your range in just a few lessons. It was wonderful learning from her.

Maya is a brilliant coach. I was taking individual lessons for 2 years. She is extremely professional, talented and she tries to approach you in a very special her own way. Maya encouraged me to overcome my fears and reveal my potential. She knows how to get the best out of you. Thank you so much!
