Natalia Petrikovska is a dedicated piano teacher whose journey with classical music began at the age of seven, when she first studied piano at Music School No. 3 in Minsk, Belarus. From her early years performing as a soloist in the school choir on Union Radio to her recent work inspiring young beginners, Natalia’s life has been shaped by a deep love for music and a desire to share that passion with others.
Natalia’s teaching blends structure with sensitivity, creating an environment where students—whether children just starting or adults reconnecting with music—can find purpose and joy in each note they play.
Now based in California, Natalia continues to teach privately, bringing her years of experience to every lesson. Her students not only build solid technique and musical understanding but also develop confidence through auditions, recitals, and personal milestones. She encourages them to listen closely—to the notes, the silence between them, and their own evolving story as pianists.
For Natalia, teaching piano is about more than scales and sonatas; it’s about legacy—how music from the past can shape our present, how a single scene from a film like The Pianist or a piece heard on YouTube can spark curiosity and connection. Whether you’re a beginner or returning to the piano after years away, Natalia welcomes you to explore music in a way that’s both serious and soulful.
