Voice Coaching & Singing Lessons

Vocal Anatomy

My lessons delve into vocal anatomy, ​helping you master the techniques that ​protect and enhance your voice. With this ​knowledge, you'll sing with greater power, ​clarity, and confidence. Vocal anatomy ​involves the lungs, diaphragm, larynx ​(voice box), and resonators like the mouth ​and throat. These structures work ​together to produce and shape sound, ​essential for healthy and effective ​singing.

Breathing for Singers

Master your breath, master your voice! Breathing ​is the foundation of powerful singing. My ​lessons will teach you how to harness proper ​breath control, giving you the tools to sing with ​confidence, strength, and emotional depth.

Elemental Music Theory Courses

Discover the basics of music with my unique ​course, Elemental Music Theory for Beginners. ​As the creator and tutor of this course, I’ll ​guide you through the essential concepts, from ​reading notes to understanding harmony. ​Whether you're just starting out or want to ​strengthen your foundation, this course will ​give you the tools to create and perform music ​with confidence. Start learning today and take ​your musical skills to the next level!

Education

Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Music ​Studies (Performance) in Jazz Voice at the Sydney ​Conservatorium of Music, building on my Bachelor ​of Arts from Lesya Ukrainka Eastern European ​National University and a Junior Specialist Degree ​with distinction from Stanyslav Lyudkevych State ​Music College.


Through my education, I have gained extensive ​expertise in jazz performance and voice coaching, ​honed my skills in music teaching, and developed ​a strong background in event coordination. My ​diverse experiences across Ukraine, Poland, and ​Australia have enriched my understanding of ​various musical traditions and performance ​techniques, allowing me to effectively teach and ​inspire others in the field.
