Mariia K. — Piano Teacher — Edmonds, Burnaby

I am a certified classical pianist. I've been progressing in a creative music environment for almost twenty years. And I am the 2nd Prize winner of the international S. Richter piano competition. I have a Master’s degree in piano teaching and performance. Also, I am an active participant in music concerts, festivals, master classes, and international scientific and practical conferences. My seven years of hands-on experience in Music and Art Schools allow me to identify growing talents and help them achieve goals. I was awarded diplomas for preparing winners of piano competitions and festivals. Energetic, enthusiastic about music, collaborative, passion, and committed to continuous professional progress. My purpose is to give students responsibility for their music and inspire them to create, move, relax, and increase through music. I show them how to make their instrument (piano) sound as good as possible, as early as possible, and engage them in self-development. That is the definition of a successful music teacher for me.
