As a student, I could always trust that after every lesson, I would not only know my weak points but also have techniques to address them, directions for further growth, and the theoretical foundations (if that’s your interest) behind the process. Natalia also helps address psychological fears and blocks, teaching how to convey the right emotions in a song—an equally important aspect of performance.
I would also like to highlight that in individual lessons, one of the most crucial factors is relationship and communication with the teacher. No one can work long-term with a teacher who is unpleasant to interact with or who delivers unfair judgments or toxic remarks. I want to emphasize as much as possible that throughout all our studies, I have always considered Natalia not just my teacher and mentor but also a friend. Natalia is a great listener and approaches communication professionally, creating a safe environment in lessons for you to realize your potential. The lessons always felt like more than just routine training because Natalia tailors her approach to each individual and doesn’t treat her work as a conveyor belt.
Once again, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Natalia on my behalf and, I am sure, on behalf of all her other students.
