About Taryna

Hi, I’m Taryna!

Music has been part of my life since I was a child. I started playing guitar when I was 8 years old, and it quickly became one of my favorite ways to express creativity.

I really enjoy playing guitar with my siblings and my daughter. We always have so much fun together, and making music has become a wonderful way for us to connect and grow closer. That’s one reason I’m excited to offer family guitar lessons, where parents and children can learn together, build musical skills, and create special memories along the way!

As an adult, I finally reached a lifelong goal of learning piano as well, which gave me a deep understanding of what it feels like to learn a new instrument later in life.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in education, as well as multiple ESL certifications. With over 10 years of teaching experience working in elementary schools, running a music school, and teaching students online, I’ve developed a teaching approach that is both structured and encouraging. My background as a teacher helps me break down music concepts in a way that makes them clear, fun, and easy to understand, whether you're just starting out or have prior experience.

As a mom and farmer, I value patience, encouragement, and creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable learning and making mistakes. Watching students grow in confidence and discover the joy of making music is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

Whether you're an adult interested in playing guitar, a parent looking for lessons for your child, or a family wanting to make music together, I'd love to help you begin (or continue) your musical journey!

About the lesson

Whether you're picking up the guitar for the first time, returning to playing as an adult, or building on skills you already have, my lessons focus on helping you develop a strong musical foundation, build confidence, and play real songs you enjoy.

Many people begin learning guitar by memorizing a few chords or songs, but understanding how music works makes it much easier to keep progressing. In my lessons, I'll guide you step-by-step, so they develop the skills and knowledge you need to learn new songs independently over time. Through practical, song-based learning, you'll develop essential skills like chords, rhythm, technique, and musical understanding. Each lesson is personalized to your goals, interests, and learning pace.

I'm also passionate about helping families connect through music! I offer family guitar lessons for parents and children, as well as siblings who want to learn guitar together. Whether you're all complete beginners or have different levels of experience, we'll build skills step by step and learn to play guitar together. My goal is to help your family make music a fun, shared experience while growing in confidence and musical ability.

I believe learning music should be both rewarding and enjoyable. I'll meet you where you are, encourage you through challenges, and celebrate your progress in a supportive environment where you feel comfortable learning, experimenting, and making mistakes.

Perfect! Taryna has been an incredible guitar teacher for my daughter. Getting started with lessons was challenging because of schedules and logistics, but Taryna stayed patient, flexible, and committed to making it happen. I’m so grateful she did.

What has stood out most is how she inspires confidence and genuine passion. My daughter now truly loves playing the guitar and looks forward to practicing and improving. Taryna creates an environment that is encouraging while still pushing her students to grow and master the fundamentals.

You can tell she genuinely cares about her students’ progress and development. Her dedication, consistency, and ability to motivate young learners make her an outstanding teacher. Highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who not only teaches guitar skills, but also helps students fall in love with music.

Taryna was my in-person guitar teacher for more than a year. She is an incredibly patient and uplifting teacher. She was willing to teach me the songs that I personally enjoy and willing to carefully work with me whenever I struggled with certain chords and finger-pickings. Even after I was no longer able to take her classes due to my schedule becoming too busy, she recommended a video to help me with bar chords. 100% recommend.

Find out more about Taryna

1) When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?
I’ve loved music since I was very little. It quickly became a way to express myself and block out the harder parts of life. I always wanted to learn piano because of its soft, joyful sound, but I didn’t have the opportunity as a child — so I started with guitar instead. As an adult, I finally learned piano, and it has become one of my favorite instruments to teach and play.
2) Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
I never grow tired of music that inspires me to be better, work harder, or feel uplifted — especially in rock, pop, country, and gospel genres. If it motivates or comforts me, I can listen to it endlessly.
3) Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
One of the most exciting courses I could teach would be a “Rookie to Rockstar” transformation journey — helping beginners not only learn their instrument but build confidence through it. It’s riveting because it blends technique, mindset, and creativity into one experience. Watching students transform from nervous beginners into expressive, confident musicians is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
4) What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
The violin. It demands precise pitch recognition, accurate finger placement, and refined control between both hands doing completely different tasks. Even the smallest shift can change the tone entirely. But that’s also what makes it magical — once mastered, the violin communicates emotion like no other instrument.
5) What are your keys to success?
Consistency, patience, and passion. I remind my students that small, steady steps lead to incredible results. When you enjoy the process, you naturally want to keep learning, and that’s when true growth happens. I also believe strongly in a growth mindset — anyone can improve if they show up, stay curious, and focus on progress over perfection.
6) Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
I don’t have any specific musicians I dream of meeting. What I truly love is connecting with people who are passionate about music and hearing the stories that shaped their musical journeys.
7) Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
I once had a piano student who had quit lessons before coming to me. Their previous teacher used a very rigid, unforgiving method with no room for self-expression, and the joy of playing disappeared for them. When they started with me, I went at their pace, helped them feel comfortable, and let them choose songs they loved. They’ve been with me for years now and play beautifully.
I’ve seen the same thing happen with guitar students too — strict curriculums can erase the fun and creativity. That’s why I structure my lessons around what they enjoy, while still helping them build strong musical skills.
8) What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
I make lessons fun, encouraging, and personal. Whether I’m teaching kids or adults, I take time to understand what inspires each student and tailor the lessons to their goals and personality. My goal isn’t just to teach an instrument — it’s to help students fall in love with making music and feel truly proud of their progress.
