Natalya is a professional musician and piano teacher. She has been immersed in music since the age of five when she started taking lessons in piano and music theory. As her love and passion for music grew, she attended State Music School from the age of eight to fifteen to continue to study piano, voice, cello, history of music, and went on to graduate from State Music College and State Conservatory in Ukraine where she received her Master of Music Degree in piano pedagogy and performance.

Natalya began her teaching and performing career in Ukraine and moved to Dubai in 2000. There she taught piano and musicianship privately and from 2006 to 2017 at several GEMS schools (GEMS Education is a British curriculum based international education company). She has guided many students through successful concert performances and range of exams, including the ABRSM and Trinity College London.

Natalya is also an experience and versatile performer, having worked as a resident pianist and chamber ensemble artist at some of the most popular and exclusive venues in Dubai. Classical, jazz, pop and rock styles are all part of her repertoire.

In 2017 Natalya relocated with her family to Gilbert, Arizona, and is excited to be teaching at East Valley School of Music. Natalya believes in inspiring students to enjoy music and their musical instrument while developing their musical abilities, aural skills, and creativity to build self-esteem and help them grow socially and academically.
