Meet Yuliia: Pianist, teacher, and lifelong music lover<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yuliia has dedicated more than three decades to teaching piano, inspiring students at a children\u2019s music school in Poltava, central Ukraine, as well as working as a collaborative pianist at both a professional music college and university. For her, the true goal isn\u2019t just to train future professionals, but to help every student fall in love with music. She hopes each child forms a bond with the piano that brings joy and comfort wherever life takes them.<\/p>\n

For the past two years, Yuliia has also been part of the MuseCool family. This experience has opened up new teaching methods, fresh repertoire, and exciting insights into modern music education. Surrounded by passionate, like-minded colleagues, she finds daily inspiration and fulfilment in sharing her love of music with students of all ages.<\/p>\n

\n

Q&A with Yuliia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Favourite Baroque composer?<\/strong>
Definitely J.S. Bach. His music is the foundation of everything – deep, structured, and full of soul.<\/p>\n

If she could sing a duet with any animal, what would it be?<\/strong>
A nightingale. Who else could match a musician\u2019s sense of melody?<\/p>\n

A pop song she secretly sings?<\/strong>
‘Dancing Queen’ by ABBA (but don\u2019t tell anyone!).<\/p>\n

An instrument she\u2019d take to a desert island?<\/strong>
A piano, of course! But if that\u2019s too heavy – maybe a melodica.<\/p>\n

Morning routine: scales or coffee?<\/strong>
Scales with coffee – the perfect start to any day!<\/p>\n

Most overrated musical clich\u00e9?<\/strong>
That classical music is ‘boring’. You just need to hear the right piece at the right moment.<\/p>\n

A song she\u2019d sing at karaoke?<\/strong>
‘\u00c9ternel amour’ by Michel Legrand. Soulful, elegant, and deeply emotional.<\/p>\n

Sheet music or free improvisation?<\/strong>
Both! Sheet music gives you roots, but improvisation gives you wings.<\/p>\n

Her teaching superpower?<\/strong>
Patience, intuition, and a big heart. She knows how to find the key to each student\u2019s love for music.<\/p>\n

Advice to young musicians?<\/strong>
Don\u2019t rush. Enjoy every small discovery. Music is a lifelong journey – and a beautiful one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
