Olga firmly believes that everyone not only could, but actually should learn to play piano or any musical instrument. Studies after studies show the benefits of music education for students’ brain development, concentration skills and creativity, yet still there is a notion in society that music lessons are only for a selected few. Contrary to this popular believe, Olga insists that learning piano is very beneficial for everybody; it does not have to hurt; does not require excessive hours of practice or any special gifts, even on early advanced repertoire. Since moving to the USA in 1995, Olga has taught numerous piano students, many of whom have participated and won Solano County Young Pianists Competition, Northern California Piano Competitions, San Francisco Chopin Council Young Pianist Competition and United States Open Music Competition; some of her current students are chosen to perform at the Music Teachers’ Association of California Annual Conventions in Oakland and San Diego. Three of her students have been accepted to different public and private universities with full scholarships. Olga encourages her students to take MTAC Certificate of Merit exams, Royal Conservatory Carnegie Hall Achievement Program exams and to participate in local recitals and community events. Olga received Solano ARTY’s Best Music Director Award 2011 for her work as a Music Director with Solano Youth Theater. Olga also performs in solo recitals and as an accompanist for various choirs, violinists and vocalists.
