"Hello! My name is Venya. I began playing the piano at age 4 and I have enjoyed every moment since! I have received my undergraduate degree in Piano Performance in the prestigious Saint Petersburg Conservatory (Russia) and Master's at TTU (Lubbock, TX). Currently am in an Artist Diploma program at TCU (Fort Worth, TX). Music is always a journey and I have been lucky enough to perform in Russia, Denmark, Israel, Spain, Italy, and the USA.

I have been teaching for over 5 years and have had students go on to play in many events, and pursue degrees in music. My teaching centers around using and adapting traditional methods of teaching for each individual student. I love being able to use my knowledge to make people's lives easier, and to help them get more out of their education.

There is so much joy in music and I try to always help students discover their own voice through refining technique and constant shifts in perspective to solve problems and move forward. Music should always be fun and ultimately I want to give students the skills to teach themselves and to become their own musical force!

Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible! :)
