About Elena
I am a Russian-trained concert pianist and piano teacher with more than 23 years of professional teaching and performing experience.
I graduated with honours from the Academic Music College at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory and from the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music. I also completed postgraduate studies at the Gnessin Academy and later taught there as a faculty member.
For over two decades, I have performed throughout Russia and internationally — in philharmonic halls, festivals, and concert tours. My professional work has also included masterclasses, competitions, and jury work across Europe, Asia, and South America.
As a chamber musician, I am a First Prize winner of the Salieri-Zinetti International Chamber Music Competition in Verona, Italy, and the Max Reger International Chamber Music Competition in Karlsruhe, Germany. I have also recorded two chamber music CDs for the Russian classical label Melodiya.
Within chamber music, I developed a specialization in classical saxophone repertoire, from traditional works to contemporary music, collaborating with leading Russian and European classical saxophonists.
As a teacher, I have worked with serious adult learners, motivated teenagers, advanced young musicians, international and diplomatic families, and students from very different cultural and educational backgrounds. This experience taught me how to make complex musical ideas clear without flattening their artistic depth.
My teaching is rooted in the Russian piano tradition. For me, this tradition is not a slogan, but a practical artistic discipline: depth of sound, serious listening, technical clarity, musical imagination, and the ability to turn musical intention into real sound at the keyboard.
I help students connect the score, the ear, the hand, the body, and the imagination, so that technique becomes a path to musical expression rather than a set of mechanical exercises.
My aim is to make artistic depth teachable: to help students build independence and play with accuracy, control, freedom, and beauty of sound.

Online piano lessons only.
For pianists who can play the notes — but know that the music is not truly speaking yet.
I work with serious adults, advanced amateurs, returning pianists, motivated teenagers, and students preparing for ABRSM, Trinity, auditions, exams, or performances.
A piece may be nearly ready and still not sound convincing. The sound does not carry. The phrase is correct, but remains flat. Rhythm and memory may feel secure at home, but become unreliable under pressure. Practice takes time, yet the same problems return.
Very often, this is not a lack of effort. It is a lack of a professional map.
The free introductory lesson on Superprof is used to discuss your goals, current level, format, and whether this kind of work is the right fit. The first full working lesson is diagnostic: I assess how your playing works now, what is already strong, where progress is being blocked, and what needs to change first for the playing to become freer, deeper, more expressive, and more reliable.
After this diagnostic work, you receive a concise written Piano Skill Map: your main strengths, key musical and technical obstacles, priority areas for improvement, and a clear direction for further development.
My background is in the Russian professional performance tradition, where sound, phrase, form, and physical freedom are central to playing. In my lessons, that level of musical thinking is translated into precise, practical work at the piano.
I do not simply polish pieces. I help students understand why the music is not becoming sound yet — and how to build the connection between hearing, movement, score understanding, practice, and artistic expression.
The goal is a more professional way to hear, think, practise, and play — so that the student does not only prepare pieces, but becomes a stronger, freer, and more convincing musician.

I returned to piano after many years and needed structured guidance. Elena helped me reorganise my technique step by step. The lessons are focused and efficient
Elena has been preparing my daughter for ABRSM Grade 5. Her lessons are highly structured and goal-oriented. Each week comes with clear practice instructions, which makes home practice much more efficient. My daughter’s technical control and confidence have improved significantly.
