Professional Violin & Piano Coaching – Music University Background. Experienced Piano & Violin Teacher – All Levels. Private lessons for Kids & Adults. Classical & Modern Piano and Violin Training.

I'm also a piano teacher but I'm 77 and live in an Assisted Living complex in Highgate

Olga is a great talented teacher. My son enjoyed her piano lessons a lot.

Olya has taught my daughter the piano once a week for a year, starting as a total beginner aged 6. I’m very pleased with the progress my daughter has made under Olya’s guidance - she is really enjoying the piano, and looks forward to her lessons with Olya each week.

Olga has taught me up to Grade 4 piano. She's observant, encouraging and kind, and an excellent musician. It's been a pleasure learning with her!

My daughter, now seven and a half, first met Olya at the age of five in a group class. As her very first piano teacher, Olya introduced her to the world of piano in such a positive and inspiring way.

She now continues with private lessons at home. Olya has a remarkable ability to understand my daughter’s aptitude and to sense her energy levels on any given day, adjusting her teaching approach to help her stay focused and motivated.

The practice books Olya chooses are excellent and thoughtfully selected, and my daughter genuinely enjoys practising every day without losing interest.

We truly hope Olya will continue to accompany her on this piano journey for many years to come.

I met Olya at piano school- from fist impression I felt her kindness, as she had managed to fit me into her already packed class. Olya is a truly patient and dedicated teacher. She creates a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them, which makes a huge difference when developing new skills. She takes the time to work at your pace, but she is also firm in the best way — she has clear expectations and genuinely wants to see you improve.

Her passion for music is evident in the way she teaches. She doesn’t allow you to stay stagnant; she encourages growth and progression while still being encouraging and understanding. She also recommends excellent resources to support learning outside of lessons, which shows how invested she is in her students’ development.

Olya is knowledgeable, passionate, and committed to helping her students achieve their best — as long as they are willing to put in the effort too. I truly appreciate her guidance and dedication.

I wholeheartedly recommend Olya as a piano teacher.

Since I began lessons with her last year, I’ve been continually impressed by her vibrant energy and exceptional talent.

Whether teaching in a group or one-on-one, she brings a dynamic professionalism that inspires confidence.

Originally from Ukraine, Olya has seamlessly adapted, bringing both her rich cultural background and a global perspective to her teaching.

With each lesson, she ignites a passion for music, and her dedication to every student is truly extraordinary.

I strongly recommend Olya as a piano teacher.

Ms. Olya is my daughter's piano teacher. She helped her boost not only her confidence but her skills. at first, I didn't even believe that she will be this good but ms. Olya adapts to her level and brings the best out of her. Very good and nice person.

Olya has been teaching me piano for 2 years now. Although I am a mature student with a very busy job she is always very kind, accommodating and encouraging. She gives excellent advice and guidance allowing me to enjoy the lessons and gain confidence. Olya helped me make good progress and pass my grade exam first time with a merit. I very strongly recommend her.

Our daughter has been taking piano lessons with Olya for 6 months now, and she couldn't be happier with her progress. Olya is an expert in both technique and music theory, always explaining in a way that is easy to understand.
What we appreciate the most is her patience and positive approach. She really creates a comfortable environment that has greatly boosted our daughter’s confidence at the piano.
For instance, thanks to Olya, she got involved in a winter concert and succeeded, which helped her to have fun playing the piano. We strongly recommend Olya to anyone looking for a dedicated music teacher!

Very good violin teacher. Kind, understanding, supportive. My 10 years old daughter likes lessons with Olya.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to recommend Ms. Olya Dovhas, who worked as my daughter Zoe’s piano teacher for almost two years.

During this time, Olya consistently demonstrated exceptional kindness, patience, and dedication when working with children. She created a calm and encouraging learning environment, adapting her teaching style to meet my daughter’s individual needs and helping her develop both technical skills and a genuine love for music.

Olya is highly reliable, professional, and thoughtful in her approach. She communicates clearly, prepares her lessons carefully, and shows true commitment to her students’ progress and emotional well-being. Her patience and gentle manner make her especially well suited to working with young learners.

I have no hesitation in recommending Olya Dovhas for any position involving piano teaching or working with children. I am confident she would be a valuable addition to any educational or musical institution.

Sincerely,
Zoe’s mother

Olya is an extremely competent piano player, but an even better teacher! She’s kind, patient and my children love her.
