Born in Sevastopol (Ukraine), Anastasiya had her first concerto appearance at the age of 13. She has performed as a soloist with the Sevastopol Chamber Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra of Crimea. She was awarded a scholarship from the Soros Foundation after graduating with Honours from the Tchaikovsky College of Music in Simferopol. This enabled her to further her studies at the Prague Academy of Performing Arts, from where she graduated with honours in Piano Performance and Piano Pedagogy (teaching).

Whilst living in Prague Anastasiya enjoyed some highly successful collaborations with soloists of the Prague State Opera, whom she accompanied in numerous concerts in the Czech Republic, Germany and Ukraine. She was awarded a diploma it the Ibla Grand Prize Piano Competition in Italy. She has also had a live broadcast recital for Czech Radio. Anastasiya played a series of concerts in Brazil both as soloist and accompanist.

Anastasiya has also enjoyed a series of successful concerts with Irish singers at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, where she performed as both an accompanist and soloist.

For over a decade now Anastasiya has dedicated herself to teaching. She enjoys working with students of all ages and levels: beginners, intermediates and advanced.

Anastasiya's teaching career started in Prague, where she worked as a piano teacher in both state and privately run music schools for a number of years. At the same time she commenced teaching privately. Since her move to Dublin in 2003, Anastasiya continues teaching privately from a studio in her Dublin home, where she enjoys working on her beloved Petrof piano.

Anastasiya has found the teaching side of her career most rewarding. She feels that she has been gifted the talent to extract the best from the student, whatever their age or level of ability. This has been proven time and time again with the excellent marks in both examinations and competitions, which, after all, is the real satisfaction and reward for Anastasiya.
