Her passion for teaching motivated her to look for enjoyable and effective ways to help students of all levels and ages develop physical ease and facility at the piano, a love for producing a beautiful sound, and attention to a “graceful dance” of their hands and fingers on the keyboard. This approach helps students to avoid unnecessary tension, technical struggles, and unwanted habits, and as a result, to achieve more musical performance with less effort. A fascination with early childhood musical education, which started when her first daughter was born, motivated Ms. Ostrovskaya to create a number of various engaging musical programs for young children. The goal of these classes was to introduce music as a language to her youngest students: to inspire them to continue musical studies and play instruments. That is how her popular Musical ABC program was born.
