Sofia Livotov

Hello! My name is Sofia, I am a classical singer and pianist based in the UK.
In addition to my performing career, I am passionate about helping people discover their talents. With over 15 years of teaching experience (online and in person) and multiple degrees in piano, voice and vocal pedagogy, I work with adult students from around the world. I firmly believe that it is never too late to learn a musical instrument and that it can enrich life in many ways, especially for adult learners.
I make sure to tailor my lessons to my students' needs and wishes and help them improve their technique and musicality in a safe and positive environment. Due to my extensive musical education, I have an excellent knowledge of various styles, repertoire, and languages. Being an active performer myself with a lot of experience on stage, I can especially help with performance skills such as stage presence, storytelling, and stage fright and have been regularly preparing my students for concerts and ABRSM exams. I enjoy teaching online very much and have been working successfully with students from the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland and Indonesia.
