Tatiana Soloviova PhD MMus Dip ABRSM - singing, music theatre, piano, guitar, ukulele. Any level - from beginner to Diploma

Tatiana really gets to know her students and finds ways to help them overcome any difficulties. She is super-positive and encouraging, always. My daughter has loved working with her for singing, guitar and ukulele, music theory and performance skills.

My name is John from Oxford, England. I am a keen organist and tenor soloist who has worked with various local choral societies. I met Tatiana at an Oxford operatic group, and as singing partners we have given numerous charity recitals. Tatiana is innovative and has plenty of drive and capability to organise events. She is a good teacher and encourager, in particular teaching me how to sing Russian.

Tatiana gave singing lessons to my granddaughter (10-11 years old) for a year. It was a brilliant quickly progressed to Grade 2 Musical Theatre and got Distinction.
What’s more important is that she enjoyed every minute of those lessons and was always looking forward to the next lesson.
Tatiana is a professional and highly qualified teacher, whom I would definitely recommend to other adults or children..

I was Tatiana's pupil between the age of 13-18. In that time, I achieved a distinction in Grade 8 singing, and Grade 7 piano (both Trinity College London).

Tatiana was a knowledgeable teacher, as evidenced by the above, but mostly I appreciated her manner - warm, supportive, and kind. She tailored the lessons to my goals, and the pieces we learned to my personality, so that I could genuinely enjoy them. She was understanding of my other academic commitments. She also challenged me to try things outside of my comfort zone, such as performing in the Abingdon Music Festival, pieces in other languages (she is a skilled linguist), and different genres of music - from Lieder, to jazz and much more.

Thank you Tatiana for many happy memories.

Tatiana is a wonderful, warm and enthusiastic music teacher. Her talents are limitless, from singing to piano to dancing! My lessons were always engaging and imaginative, alongside ensuring I was passing my music exams to the highest levels. I would highly recommend Tatiana, and excited to see the talent of her new pupils!

Tatiana was an exceptional teacher and mentor to my daughter over seven years. Thanks to her exceptional guidance, my daughter achieved two Grade 8 qualifications, an incredible accomplishment that reflects both her dedication and Tatiana’s outstanding teaching.

Tatiana’s passion, enthusiasm, and deep musical knowledge were evident in every lesson. She guided my daughter through a rich and diverse repertoire, from English classical and folk music to French, German, and Italian pieces, always encouraging her to explore and grow as a vocalist.

But Tatiana’s impact went far beyond technical training. She nurtured my daughter’s confidence, helping her not only to perform but to express herself through music. Singing became more than just a skill, it became a real joy and highlight of the week.

Tatiana has an incredible gift for inspiring her students. Her warmth, patience, and infectious love for music created an environment where learning was exciting and fulfilling. My daughter will always treasure the special time she spent with Tatiana.

We are beyond grateful to Tatiana, thank you for making such a lasting and beautiful experience in my daughter’s life!

Tatiana is a brilliant teacher. She strikes the perfect balance between pushing you to reach your full potential and creating a safe, supportive space to grow. She has a vast knowledge of vocal technique and the physicality of singing, and her lessons are always engaging. I could not recommend her more highly!

Our two daughters studied singing with Tatiana for several years. Tatiana is a truly inspirational person and teacher whose contributions to the intellectual and personal development of her students goes far beyond music. We feel privileged to have had her in our lives.

Excellent tutor and I really miss her teaching since she has moved. She is extremely knowledgeable and tailors the work for individual needs.

Though our musical collaboration I have known Tatiana several years and am very much aware of her professional approach to music teaching.
I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any pupil or teaching establishment.

Dr Tatiana Soloviova taught Russian Language for the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages, Univesity of Oxford, from 2004 to 2019. A highly gifted tutor, she was able to tailor her instruction to individual abilities, inspiring enthusiasm for the subject and maintaining a wam personal relationship with her students.

Started going to see Tatiana for singing lessons for my sister, very soon Zara was interested in much more than just singing - ukulele, piano and musical theatre! Tatiana was very engaging and you can see that she absolutely loves her work. Could not recommend her enough to anyone interested in singing and musical advancement!

Tatiana is a great music teacher, who you can tell is incredibly passionate about her work. She has helped me and many other students receive top marks in guitar, piano, and different types of singing exams.

Tatiana and I have performed public concerts together for many years and I can vouch for her professional, relaxing and encouraging approach to everything she does. Highly recommended!

I started learning piano with Tatiana a few years ago, knowing only the very basics. Over the course of a few years, she patiently and expertly guided me all the way to playing Grade 8 repertoire; something I never would have imagined possible when I started! She was incredibly supportive the whole way through, always patient and kind, and she made sure I had a strong foundation from the very beginning.

She also helped me a lot with things like breathing properly and having good posture, which made a big difference in how I play and feel at the piano. It wasn’t just about learning the notes, she really helped me connect with the music.

More than just a teacher, Tatiana has been a real guide and inspiration for me, and I feel very grateful to have been taught by her.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a teacher who really cares, both about music and about the people she teaches.

Tatiana is an amazing singing teacher and her knowledge and professionalism is of a very high standard. I feel very lucky to have had the privilege to learn from her.

Tatiana has taught singing to three of my sons over the course of several years, and I cannot speak highly enough of her teaching. Her lessons have been a source of genuine enjoyment for each of them, regardless of their level or musical style.

My eldest son, Sebastian, progressed through both classical and musical theatre training under Tatiana’s guidance, achieving Grade 8. His passion for singing flourished, leading to his successful audition for the Junior Royal Academy of Music and his upcoming studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

My younger sons, Stevie and Tom, also thrived under Tatiana’s instruction. Stevie completed a Grade 3 exam in pop vocals, while Tom, who had never taken a music exam before, achieved a Grade 2 in classical singing. Tatiana tailored her approach to each of their interests and strengths, making lessons engaging, confidence-building, and fun.

What stands out most is the breadth of Tatiana’s teaching—from classical to pop—and her ability to inspire and nurture young singers at every stage of their journey.

I have known Tatiana Soloviova for about twenty five years and have treasured her for her charm, her spontaneity and her intelligence. Her extraordinary breadth of knowledge about dance, singing, piano-playing, musicians and composers gives her teaching great depth without being in any way pedantic. She has the ability to get the best out of people because they want to cooperate with her. Every institution with which she has worked has been enhanced by her presence.

Tatiana is a talented and experienced music teacher who ensures her students always flourish. I completed grade 7 pop singing with her and left with a distinction! Not only is she dedicated but she also creates a comfortable environment in her lessons which makes the learning experience enjoyable.

Tatiana taught my son diploma level singing. She is talented, enthusiastic and encouraging. He loved studying with her.

Tatiana taught both my children over a period of about 10 years. She was the most encouraging and inspirational teacher they had, always going out of her way to help with confidence and their education.

Learning music with Tatiana is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I am learning both pop singing and musical theatre with her and have seen not only considerable improvement in my vocal abilities but also a significant increase in my confidence with music as a whole. Tatiana encourages and supports her students in a way that is attentive and genuine, leaving them with valuable skills and an excellent outlook on studying and performing music.

My child had singing lessons with Tatiana for 18 months and had an absolutely brilliant time. She absolutely loved her lessons which were great fun and always a very positive and engaging experience. They chose fun music together and worked on confidence, stage presence and the theme of the music as well as the music itself. Tatiana’s communication with parents was excellent. Overall it was a very positive and affirming experience, and we were sorry when it came to an end.

Tatiana tutored me for weekly singing lessons over the course of many years; she is a passionate and dedicated teacher who is attuned to the needs and differing skills of each of her students. Her creative and energised teaching style encourages a wider love for culture and music - her lessons have made such a huge impact on me in terms of both my personal development and musical skills.

Tatiana taught me singing from grades 1 to grade 8. She was a fantastic teacher - extremely knowledgeable, kind, and supportive. Her lessons helped me to build both skills and confidence and helped me to achieve distinction in several of my exams. I particularly appreciated her holistic approach, focussing not only on technical skill but also on breathwork and stage presence, which made a real difference to my singing.

As her singing teacher, I have had the pleasure of knowing Tatiana for many years. She is a very fine musician, playing the piano, other instruments and singing to a high standard. She is passionate about sharing what she knows and her pupils benefit from her many skills, insights and positive, encouraging attitude to teaching.

Tatiana is a great professional and a truly amazing person to work with. As an adult, I sometimes feel a bit uncomfortable starting some new hobby,
bit with Tatiana playing ukulele seems so simple and straightforward that the only thing I felt at her classes was joy. And when you someone who is so into music and singing, you just can’t help but get inspired!

Tatiana has been a music teacher of my son (5 years old at that time) for about a year (2023-2024). She taught him piano and ukulele, and he also had vocal lessons (singing) with her. The experience has been superb. Tatiana is a highly skilled musician who has a lot of empathy for children, and my son has always been looking forward to having lessons with her. As a parent, I admired her ability to keep my son motivated during the lessons while adjusting to the child's current emotional and physical state. For instance, when my son was a bit more tired after a long school day, she always was able to sense that quickly and they had focused on physical aspects of the training going gently on theory those afternoons (which led to overall progress without having my son feeling exhausted).

Tatiana had an impressive set of musical instruments that my son could explore and play with which he loved. After moving to a different city, my son stays interested in music and continues having music classes. The whole family recalls having lessons with Tatiana feeling lucky our paths crossed, and I feel grateful for everything Tatiana was able to pass on to my son. I can't recommend her to any higher to any family with a child who might be interested in music.

Tatiana has a charismatic personality. She is very knowledgeable and a wonderful tutor. I would definitely recommend her.

She is an excellent music teacher and the achievemens of her pupils bear witness to the standard of her teaching

I have known Tatiana for a long time. She is a professional tutor, experienced, well-educated and intelligent with excellent communication skills.
Tatiana is patient, can find an individual approach to her students and really loves her job!
She uses a variety of teaching methods which allow students to participate actively in the learning process and develop their language skills. Her lessons are always interesting and fun!

What an incredibly talented musician and teacher! Anyone who is fortunate enough to study under Tatiana will benefit greatly - she pours her heart and soul into her teaching and her craft.

I have known Tatiana for many years and she is a dedicated tutor who teaches with passion and care.
I would recommend her as a trustworthy tutor.

Tatiana has helped me discover the joy of singing in my life. She brings a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and life experience to the lessons. The teaching is holistic while being fun and full of so much joy!

Tatiana has been teaching in schools and privately for some 20 years, taking pupils from the very beginning up to diploma level and beyond. Not only have many, possibly even most, achieved distinctions in exams but she receives social visits from past students visiting Oxford. She’s a caring teacher who supports her students.

When my daughter Justine was looking for a singing teacher as part of her project for DoE, we search and found Tatiana on this platform by chance. 
Tatiana is an amazing teacher, she teaches, supports, nurtures and able to inspire Justine to want to do even more in her singing. We started with the aim of singing only, but now Justine is able to do ukulele and guitar as well in just a few months. 


My daughter achieved Grade 8 singing within 2 years of learning from Tatiana!

Thank you Tatiana!

Tatiana taught my daughter singing over several years and saw her through all the grades (1-8), which my daughter mostly passed with either Merit or Distinction. She was a terrific teacher: highly skilled yet gentle in manner, firm yet forgiving. She is able to build one's confidence, and draw out one's natural ability. I recommend her most highly.

Tatiana is an exceptional teacher. Highly qualified and experienced, she is kind, as well as challenging, fun but serious when it matters. She is excellent at exam preparation and knows how to get the best out of her students. My daughter had lessons with her for nine years and finished with her Grade 8 exams in singing and a Teaching Diploma in singing too. Tatiana taught my daughter some piano too. She teaches in her beautiful house with a grand piano and parents are welcome to stay in an adjoining room, occasionally invited in to see the lesson. She teaches adults too. She is a lovely warm person with a wealth of knowledge about singing technique. I highly recommend her.

I had Tatiana as a singing teacher for almost 8 years and couldn't have asked for a more supportive, knowledgeable and talented teacher. She explains techniques so helpfully and, the reasoning behind making different sounds scientifically. She really pushed me to achieve much more than I though I could and I am so grateful to have learnt such important life skills such as being aware and take care of your body and how to break bad habits.
