Hello! My name is Elena, and I am a professional vocal teacher, choral conductor, and singer with 17 years of teaching experience.

For me, singing is much more than learning how to produce beautiful notes. The human voice is a deeply personal instrument — it reflects our emotions, character, and inner world. My goal as a teacher is to help every student discover the natural beauty of their voice, develop confidence, and learn to sing freely and expressively.

For the past 3 years, I have also been teaching vocal lessons online, working with students in a format that combines professional instruction with the flexibility and comfort of studying from home.

Christian music holds a particularly important place in my life. For 15 years I have sung in a church choir, where music becomes not only artistic expression but also ministry, fellowship, and praise to God. This experience has greatly influenced my understanding of ensemble singing, musical sensitivity, harmony, and the spiritual meaning that music can carry.

Experience: 17 years
Online Teaching Experience: 3 years
Specialization: Vocal Teacher, Choral Conductor & Singer

I have completed both secondary professional and higher musical education, receiving two qualifications that provide a strong foundation in vocal performance, choral work, music pedagogy, and music theory.

Higher Musical College named after A. G. Rubinstein

Specialty: Choral Conducting

My professional training included choral conducting, vocal and choir studies, piano, solfeggio, music theory, pedagogy, and practical work with musical ensembles.

I graduated with honors, completing extensive conducting and teaching practice.

This education gave me a deep understanding of how the human voice functions not only as a solo instrument, but also as part of a choir and vocal ensemble.

Pridnestrovian State University named after T. G. Shevchenko

Specialty: Music Education with a focus on Art Studies

Qualification: Teacher of Music and History of Art

During my university studies, I expanded my professional knowledge in music pedagogy, conducting, instrumental studies, art history, teaching methodology, and the development of musical abilities in students.

My academic training allows me to approach vocal education comprehensively — combining vocal technique with musicianship, listening skills, artistic interpretation, and an understanding of musical form and style.

I believe that every voice is unique, so vocal training should never be based on a one-size-fits-all method. My lessons are adapted to the student’s age, experience, vocal abilities, musical interests, and personal goals.

1. Healthy and Natural Vocal Development

The foundation of good singing is a free and natural voice. We work on breathing, posture, sound production, articulation, and vocal coordination without unnecessary tension.

My priority is to help students develop their voices gradually and comfortably.

2. Individual Approach

Every student comes to lessons with different abilities and goals. Some want to sing their favorite songs confidently, others want to participate in a church worship team or choir, while some wish to develop stronger professional vocal skills.

The learning program is therefore adapted individually to each student.

3. Musicality, Not Just Technique

Good singing is not only about reaching the correct notes.

During lessons, we work on intonation, rhythm, phrasing, dynamics, musical expression, and interpretation, helping students understand what they are singing and communicate the meaning of a song to the listener.

4. Confidence and Performance Skills

Many students feel uncomfortable singing in front of other people. Step by step, I help them become more confident in their voices and learn how to perform naturally and expressively.

The goal is not simply to “sing correctly,” but to enjoy singing and feel comfortable sharing music with others.

5. Experience in Choral and Christian Music

My background as a choral conductor and church choir singer allows me to help students who want to sing in choirs, vocal ensembles, worship groups, or church ministries.

We can work on listening to other voices, blending, harmony, intonation, musical phrasing, and understanding one’s role within an ensemble.

Online Vocal Lessons

“I believe that every person has a voice worth discovering. My task as a teacher is not to make students sound like someone else, but to help them understand and develop their own natural voice. Singing becomes truly meaningful when technique, emotion, and the message of the music come together. I will be happy to help you take this journey — from your first confident notes to singing freely, expressively, and with joy.”
