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,

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
