Tatiana Smirnova is a graduate of the Conservatory of Amsterdam pop department, specializing in vocals and keyboards. She works both as a session musician for a range of bands spreading from industrial ballad rock to indie folk, and as a front-woman/songwriter/producer of her own lyrical electro-pop project LifeLoan.

Throughout her educational path, Tatiana studied classical music, dabbled in jazz and ended up working professionally in pop. This range of experiences translates into how she approaches teaching: Tatiana aims to be flexible with each student, taking their tastes, interests, goals and sensibilities into account in order to create a learning experience that is personal and encouraging. She believes that everyone deserves to be taught with a unique approach that suits their individual development.
