I came to Nataliya to improve my piano technique, having had a few years of unstructured lessons with other teachers, with a focus on jazz concepts. I worked very hard independently, and although I could adequately play a jazz tune on the piano, my lack of proper pianistic technique and musical knowledge was hampering my progress as a pianist. I decided classical lessons were needed. I started lessons with Nataliya in January 2021, and was immediately impressed with her. Nataliya is approachable, joyful, and passionate about music; she is adept at identifying and addressing problem areas and she is encouraging and firm in terms of teaching musicality, accuracy, and good technique. Nataliya understands how I learn; she presents information and skills in a logical and beneficial sequence and helps me grasp concepts necessary to achieve my potential as a pianist. Nataliya knows what to teach and when to teach it. She expertly selects material that will help me advance while building a firm musical foundation; she clearly demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge of the repertoire and piano pedagogical materials. At the same time, Nataliya maintains a flexible approach to teaching. She sets clear attainable goals (short-term weekly goals and longer-term goals). Nataliya motivates me to learn, practice, and play correctly. Nataliya clearly has a desire to pass the gift of music along to others. The combination of her strong musical skills, her sensitivity and knowledge makes Nataliya an extraordinary teacher. It is truly a joy to learn and discover music with Nataliyas guidance!

(Translated by Google) I first started playing the piano to help my hands stay flexible as I got older and to ease pain. My daughter was already a student of Madame Labiau and I liked her gentle way of teaching and positive encouragement. So I decided to learn myself. The benefits I have derived from it for almost 2 years are remarkable in more than one respect: memory, flexibility of the hands, body posture that tires the back less, and above all the coordination that I was so lacking, as well as the pleasure of playing pieces of music by prodigious composers such as Mozart, Bethoven, etc. And I don't forget the self-confidence when you see the progress after each lesson. Each hour of class is a refreshing and gentle break in my life which always runs very fast. (Original) J'ai d'abord commenc le piano pour aider mes mains rester souples en vieillissant et pour attnuer les douleurs. Ma fille tait dj une lve de Madame Labiau et j'aimais sa faon d'enseigner tout en douceur et en encouragement positif. J'ai donc dcid d'apprendre moi aussi. Les bienfaits que j'en retire depuis presque 2 ans sont remarquables plus d'un gard: mmoire, souplesse des mains, posture du corps fatiguant moins le dos, et surtout la coordination qui me faisait tellement dfaut ainsi que le plaisir de jouer des morceaux de musique de prodigieux compositeurs tels que Mozart, Bethoven, etc. Et je n'oublie pas la confiance en soi lorsqu'on constate les progrs aprs chaque leon. Chaque heure de cours sont une pause fracheur et douceur dans ma vie qui court toujours trs vite.
