Natalya Pitts is a highly-qualified music specialist with over 25 years of pedagogical and performing experience. She has instructed students of every age and skill level, including graduate Piano Performance students (1989-1999, Krasnodar Conservatoire, Federal University of Culture and Arts).

Natalya Pitts took part as an accompanist in International Competitions of M. Glinka and P. Tchaikovsky. She worked with many famous Russian Opera singers, including Tamara Alioshina, Polina Botizat, Svetlana Strezeva, and Irina Mishura. She has performed in concerts in Russia, France, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria and United States in the cities of Kishinev, Kiev, Minsk, Sofia, Pleven, Moscow, St. Petersburg, La Boll, Plombier, Leon, Dijon, Paris, and others.

Ms. Pitts teaching philosophy is that the structure of piano lessons must be tailored for the needs of the student. Every student is assured to receive fundamental training in music theory and performance techniques. However, those individuals, who aspire to enter music competitions or to further their education at a University or Conservatoire level can count on the deep lesson structure, comprehensive in both styles and technique, which they will need to succeed in these endeavors. On the other hand, those individuals wishing merely to increase their enjoyment and understanding of music without planning to enter the music school or piano competitions will find that their lesson plans and program selection are congruent with their goals.

Natalya Pitts is excited to be a member of the Plano, Texas, and National Music Teachers Associations and was the recipient of the PMTA nomination for the Texas Outstanding Collegiate Teaching Achievement Award for the year of 2006. She is also a member of the College Music Society and currently teaches at Collin County Community College.
