Introduction
About
I believe real creative work starts the moment you stop repeating after other people and begin speaking in your own voice.
So my lessons are not only about vocal technique, ear training and performance skills. They are first of all about uncovering who you are as an artist: what you want to say to the world through music, and what makes you different from everyone else.
I work as a musician myself. I write and release my own songs, produce other artists and perform regularly. That means I can share not just teaching experience, but how the music industry actually works from the inside.
My job is not to raise someone who performs other people's songs well. My job is to help you find your own voice and learn to create something genuinely yours.
Technique matters. But individuality is what makes an artist an artist.

The best way to know whether a coach is right for you is to hear them sing.

Songs written by my students are already out on every streaming platform.
-
Leleya
Before
- One track already out on the streaming platforms
- She wasn't happy with how it was produced
- No sense of herself in her own music
- No positioning, and no idea where to go next
What we did
Within the mentorship we picked one of the songs Leleya had written, “Mara”, and took it all the way to release.
- Arrangement
- Vocal recording
- Mixing
- Cover artwork
- Video snippets
- Putting the release out
- Pitching
- Setting up her artist profiles on the streaming platforms
- Support all the way through the release
After
- 40,000+ unique listeners on Yandex Music
- Placed on 2 Yandex Music editorial playlists
- Picked up by Yandex Music's algorithmic wave with our very first release together
- Today Leleya works as an independent artist: she writes, releases and promotes her own music, performs, and keeps building her project
The “Mara” release
-
Jane iloveyou
Before
- No understanding of how to make and release her own music
- A damaging experience of working with other professionals before
- Afraid to sing loud, afraid to sing high, afraid to show up as an artist
What we did
We began with a long briefing to work out what kind of artist Jane wanted to become and what she wanted to end up with. After that we worked on:
- Vocal development: releasing tension, extending her range, learning different vocal techniques
- Writing an original track
- Arrangement
- Vocal recording
- Mixing
- Artwork and visuals for the release
- Setting up her artist profiles on the streaming platforms
After
- The fear of singing loud, singing high and singing in front of other people is gone
- A clear picture of the whole process, from writing a song to putting it out
- A big step forward in vocal technique and in confidence in her own voice
The “Wrong Timing” release
-
Elektra
Before
- No singing experience
- Afraid of high notes and loud notes
- Trouble staying in tune
- No plan to write or release her own music; the interest in writing came later, while she was learning to sing
What we did
Along the way Elektra didn't only build her vocal technique, she started building a music project of her own. We still take every release from first idea to release day:
- Vocal lessons
- Arrangement
- Vocal recording
- Mixing
- Artwork and visuals for each release
- Setting up her artist profiles on the platforms
- Releasing every track and supporting it afterwards
After
- 9 original tracks out so far
- Every release is handled end to end by our team, from writing the song to publishing it on every streaming platform
- Placements on Yandex Music editorial playlists
- 10,000+ unique listeners
- Elektra writes, releases and grows her own music all the time
Nine original releases — from someone who, when we first met, had no intention of releasing music at all.

Answers
FAQ
What happens in the trial lesson?
Fifty minutes. We look at your voice and range, work out how it behaves, and try the first practical things straight away. You leave with my own exercises to practise on your own.
Do I need experience to start?
No. People come to me having never sung a note, and people come to me as working professionals. The programme and the goals are always built around your level and what you want, not around a fixed course.
Are lessons online only?
Mostly I teach online, but I run in-person lessons in different cities from time to time. So it is always worth asking where I am at the moment.
What do I need for an online lesson?
Headphones, a stable connection and a room where you are not shy about being loud. Lessons run on MOOZ, a platform built for musicians that lets us work with sound in real time, with no lag.
What language are lessons in?
Russian or English, whichever you prefer.
How do I pay?
You can pay from any country. Once you book, I will send you the payment methods available to you and everything you need to make the transfer.
