Hello, my name is Olena. I am from Kharkiv Ukraine, and I currently reside in Orlando Florida. I am currently employed with Opera Orlando as a rehearsal accompanist for Child and Adult Masterclasses as well as a rehearsal pianist for Opera Orlando Production Company. I hold Bachelors and Masters degree in piano performance and education with the B.N Lyatoshinski Music College in Ukraine, studying classical and modern repertoire. For over 27 years I have taught students of all ages and levels of advancement in various fine arts academies, as well as my own private studio. In addition to private instruction, I have served as the primary accompanist for voice, winds, strings, and ballet academic classical exercise in my native country, also serving as the first call accompanist for multiple performance recitals and competitions. My performance experience also includes solo pianist and musical director for many five-star hotels worldwide, including cruise ships and fine dining establishments. I am continually excited about playing and teaching the piano. My goal is to share this excitement and to use my knowledge to help instill a love of music in my students. When both the student and the teacher give their best, you can expect to see some wonderful musical milestones.
