“Tetyana Bardetska – Piano Teacher MTAC Member”

.Hello! My name is Tetyana Bardetska, and I am a professional pianist, educator, and performer with over 45 years of teaching experience.

I received my musical education in Odessa, Ukraine, graduating from the Special Music School for Gifted Children named after Professor Stolyarsky, then earning my Master’s and PhD in Music from the Odessa State Conservatory.

Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to developing students’ technical mastery, musical expression, and artistic individuality. I teach students of all ages and skill levels — from young beginners to advanced pianists preparing for MTAC exams, recitals, and international competitions.

Lessons are available at my home studio in San Jose or at students’ homes in Los Altos, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, and Mountain View — a flexible and convenient option for busy families.

Many of my students are MTAC medalists and winners of international piano competitions. My goal is to inspire each student to love music deeply and to reach their full artistic potential.
