ADULTS
CHOOSE what you’ve
ALWAYS dreamed of
You choose the disciplines yourself and build a personal learning path. Piano, vocals, guitar, drums, band, production. You can start with one course or combine several. Individual and group formats are available. We’ll help you put together the right mix of classes for your goals — whether it’s «I want to play for myself», «I want to perform», or «I want to start a band». Then you simply pick a schedule that works for you and book your spot.
How group classes work
Vocal lessons at UNIKI are about developing your body and inner state through your voice. We teach you to control your breath, engage your core support, and work on articulation. Through songs, we develop emotional intelligence, memory, and focus — the vibration of the voice helps gently reduce stress and bring you back to a sense of calm.
Piano lessons for adults are structured so you start playing from the very first class and build solid, lasting skills. We work on posture, body alignment, wrist and finger position, develop two-hand coordination, and help you navigate the keyboard with confidence. From there, we add sight-reading, rhythm work, and a gradually more challenging repertoire so your playing becomes freer and more precise.
If you’ve been dreaming of starting for a long time or you played as a child and want to bring the skill back — we’ll choose the right pace and material to match your goals and taste, rebuild your technique, and continue from your current level.
In one-on-one piano lessons, we place your hands on the keys from the very first seconds and learn the fundamentals through practice. You’ll learn to navigate the keyboard, find comfortable movements, and produce a clean, controlled sound—so the instrument feels familiar and intuitive.
Then, step by step, we build your pianistic technique: posture, body alignment, wrist, fingers, two-hand coordination, and the control of each finger individually. Along the way, we try picking out music by ear to activate improvisation and freedom. Gradually, you’ll start to see the logic of musical thought and shape the sound through dynamics, articulation, and phrasing. We choose repertoire that matches your mood and taste. If you’ve played before, we’ll restore your skills and continue from your current level.
If you’ve ever wanted to be able to play by the campfire, in a band, or simply for yourself at home, this is exactly it.
From the very first lessons, we work on posture, right- and left-hand technique, clean sound production, and timing. We break down how the guitar works and the logic behind its sound, learn to keep time with a metronome and along with a track, and put together your first parts. We choose repertoire based on your taste, and track your progress through clear mini-goals in every lesson.
We build your technique and rhythmic thinking from the ground up. We work on posture, grip, rebound, learn to count note values, and read drum notation. Then we develop a solid groove based on the Money Beat, lock in your timing with a metronome and along with a track, add breaks and fills, and expand your rhythmic vocabulary through syncopation and new time signatures. As you progress, we break down different styles, dynamics, and characteristic patterns—so your drum part gives the music shape and energy.
In one-on-one classes with Danis, we develop stage movement as a precise tool for an actor. We start with the body fundamentals — alignment, breathing, balance, and stage walk — so you feel confident in space and read clearly from the very first step. Then we build physical expressiveness and attention control through tempo-rhythm, impulse and response, isolations, gesture, and character. We work with imaginary objects, partner-based practices, and short movement études, learning to convey meaning without words and to fit a specific picture for stage and camera.
The classes are built around your goals. We identify what’s holding you back from sounding confident and truthful, and develop your actor’s instrument through exercises and scene work. We work with the body and attention. At the same time, we build your speech so your thoughts come across clearly and convincingly. Then we add improvisation, monologues, and dialogues — and later camera work — so you can be just as precise both on stage and on screen.
We bring music notation, rhythm, and harmony into a clear system and connect it to practice right away by breaking down your songs, working with your instrument or voice, arranging, composing, and improvising.
We do a lot of ear-based work. You’ll learn to hear intervals, chords, and harmonic pull, and to capture them in notation. Theory becomes a practical tool that speeds up your progress and makes your music more conscious and expressive.
One-on-one Audio Production lessons at UNIKI are where you develop your ear and immediately translate it into studio practice. We learn to break down your favorite tracks into their “building blocks” and shape your own ideas so they sound cohesive and convincing. Tempo, form, harmony, groove, timbre, and dynamics become clear tools — not a matter of chance.
Then we move everything into Logic Pro. We set up a project, build an arrangement, program MIDI and drum parts, record vocals or instruments, do basic editing, and learn the fundamentals of mixing. We work with references to develop your taste in sound and to clearly understand how to take a demo to a track you’ll want to replay on repeat.
We go from idea to a finished video you can immediately add to your portfolio. Together, we develop the script and storyboard, then shoot and edit so the video holds attention.
You’ll master camera work, lighting, sound, composition, and editing rhythm, and learn to work with references and style to match the brief — whether it’s reels, a music video, or an interview.

HOW DOES THE UNIKI UNIVERSE LOOK AND FEEL?
Band Practice every week
It’s the rush of live performance and a way to feel life brighter through music. You’re on stage — at an instrument or the mic — guided by an experienced curator, surrounded by equally creative people. Vocals, keys, guitar, bass, and drums in one lineup.
You record tracks, perform regularly, then rewatch the live videos and see how real music comes to life.
Why choose UNIKI?
UNIKI is a 360° performing arts education system that brings together music, stage, and production — designed for adults, without a «school-like» format. These are classes for grown-ups where you choose your disciplines and build a personal path: piano, vocals, guitar, drums, band, production. We’ll help you combine classes around your goal — whether it’s «play for yourself», «perform», or «start a band».
We work with hands-on pros who perform, record, and shoot — so the classes are packed with real practice, precise feedback, and clear direction. UNIKI concerts offer a rare chance to step out of the audience and feel the stage as your own. A show every three months gives you a concrete goal and keeps you focused: within each cycle, we build the material, bring the performance to a confident level, and go on stage so it sounds mature, tight, and genuinely exciting.
And most importantly, it’s a space where you can show up as you are — and be anything.

Maria is a pianist and teacher with a strong classical background and professional jazz training. She has taught over 1,500 lessons.
At UNIKI, Maria teaches Piano, Music Theory, Band, Vocal & Stage, Vocal & Sound, and Piano Groups. In her work, she combines classical and modern methods, drawing on European and Russian standards of music education. She focuses on developing rhythm, ear training, improvisational thinking, and overall musical culture.
No one can tell you about Maria better than she can herself:
«In childhood, I used to go wild to Elvis Presley, and at one point I firmly decided I wanted to become a rock star. If UNIKI had existed back then, maybe I would have become one. But instead, I went to music school, and then to the Arkhangelsky Music College in Penza, where I studied classical piano and earned my first degree in music. Even then, I became a laureate and prize-winner of regional and national competitions.
But my dreams of the rock stage wouldn’t let go, so I decided to continue my education in jazz — because, as it seemed to me, from jazz with its complex chords and improvisation to rock music is just a small step. That’s how I became a jazz pianist, graduating from the Maimonides Academy in Moscow in 2022.
Alongside my studies, I began teaching private music lessons to children and adults — and unexpectedly discovered a gift for mentoring and teaching. Over time, I realized that my true calling wasn’t to be a rock star (though who knows what the future holds), but to light up new musical stars.
Today, I teach classical and jazz piano, improvisation, music theory, and music culture. My teaching is built on empathy, attention to each student, and the belief that learning music can—and should—be interesting and fun. I use modern approaches to developing rhythm, ear training, and musical thinking, and I follow European and Russian teaching standards.»

Vladislav is a pianist, an international competition laureate, and a teacher with a strong academic background.
His path combines the big stage, deep academic training, and working with strong students of different ages. In his teaching, Vladislav relies on structure: he builds a clear system where technique, theory, and musicality come together as one process.
At UNIKI, Vladislav teaches Piano, Music Theory, Vocal & Stage, and Vocal & Sound. In his classes, you don’t “decode notes”—you learn to understand music, control your sound, and manage your progress. He helps you build a solid foundation, gain confidence in your skills, and see real results at every step.
«I love watching something grow and unfold over time. Like a plant that responds to care with patience and quiet perfection. Like body and spirit in sport, where discipline turns effort into confidence and strength. In my work, I stick to the most rational approach possible: I gather knowledge, systematize it, and pass it on in a way that makes the process engaging and inspiring. When there is interest and direction, results never take long to appear. I can also boast a truly inexhaustible reserve of patience and an ability to take things all the way to a result.»
— Vladislav

Thomas Shurkus is a drummer and teacher with 15 years of experience, including five years of professional academic practice. In 2016, he graduated from the jazz department of the University of Edinburgh, receiving a strong foundation in contemporary performance, rhythm, and music theory.
Thomas can tell you the rest himself:
«My name is Thomas. I’ve been behind a drum kit for as long as I can remember. What matters to me is showing my students that you don’t need any inborn talent to learn this instrument—you just need the right approach and practice. That’s exactly what we do in lessons:
– We create an individual program for each student;
– If you already have musical preferences, we start from that style right away and study it in depth;
– FINGERDRUMMING. Yes, we’ll bring drum controllers into the lessons to develop your sense of rhythm in a playful, interactive, and currently very popular way. Today it’s one of the biggest directions out there, using finger motor skills.
– My lessons are designed to be максимально interactive, using backing tracks, multimedia, prepared presentations—and, most importantly, additional software on screen (BFD3, Indaband, Media Evolution, Beatlii, etc.), which can teach literally anyone to play in a game-like format.
The range of skills here is very broad, so what you learn can easily transfer into other areas—from writing your own compositions for the stage and creating accompaniment to confident work in DAWs, which can become a professional starting point for a future DJ career.
The results speak for themselves. My approach removes everything connected to stiffness and fear of improvising—and a drummer charged with positivity is already half the success of any future band.»

Nastasya is a Vocal teacher and the director of a pop choir. She graduated from the pop & jazz department of the Tchaikovsky Music College, studied with residents of the Ever Jazz club, and performed on the same stage with them.
Her teaching is based on EVT (Estill Voice Training) — a scientific, anatomy-based approach that helps you control your voice consciously and freely in any genre.
Here’s how Nastasya describes herself:
«My name is Nastasya Matveeva. I was born into a family of folk vocal teachers, so I’ve been surrounded by music and singing since childhood. I first stepped on stage at the age of two, and I haven’t left it since. The voice is a unique instrument — one I’ve studied inside and out. I tried working in different genres and styles to better understand what the voice is capable of. My students also help me learn a lot. For more than eight years, I’ve been listening to and working with different people’s timbres and vocal habits. Working with children’s voices shows just how far you can go when you understand how vocal structures change over time.
I’m truly inspired when a student becomes a conscious performer. They don’t just copy sounds—they understand which muscles and cartilage help create the sound they want. I also love working on original songs—helping to color and enrich a written song with different techniques and tools. And of course, working with ensembles and choirs is its own kind of joy: when students build incredible chord textures and carry the melody forward. The more people there are, the bigger the feeling of unity through sound. I’m convinced anyone can learn to sing!»

Anton is a director, screenwriter, editor, and teacher with over 14 years of experience in film and media.
A key part of Anton’s professional path is teaching filmmaking to international standards—for example, the International Baccalaureate (IB) system. His students go through the full production cycle—from screenwriting and film-language analysis to shooting, editing, and sound—creating their own films.
«Hello! My name is Anton Retunskikh.
I’m a director and a teacher of film and video production.
Since 2011, I’ve been working in film and video as a director, screenwriter, and camera operator-editor.
It’s important for me to find a balance between an academic foundation and hands-on practice, making complex topics clear and engaging.
For me, it’s not just about teaching people how to shoot or analyze films—it’s about helping them learn how to watch and think. We talk about how a shot is built, how editing, sound, and rhythm work, how images convey emotions and meaning, and why visual culture has such a powerful impact on how we perceive the world.»

Maria is a pianist and sound producer—an active musician working on stage and in the studio. At UNIKI, she teaches audio production and bands so students understand musical logic, develop their ear, and turn ideas into tracks and live numbers—not just “complete a program.”
Maria’s classes are highly hands-on and industry-focused. You’ll learn to hear form and harmony, work in Logic Pro, record and build arrangements, develop your taste in sound, and take an idea all the way to a result you’ll actually want to play and share.
«My name is Maria Pokutnaya. I’m a pianist, composer, and sound producer. For nearly half my life, I studied academic and jazz piano. For more than 15 years, I’ve been working in the professional music world—on stage and in the studio.
In our studio, what matters to me is not simply teaching you to play or sing, but helping you understand music and create it consciously. We develop a professional ear and musical thinking. It’s important to me that every student feels not like a performer following instructions, but like a musician and author who can express themselves through sound.
In my classes, I care about an atmosphere of support and freedom—where it’s not scary to try, make mistakes, and find your own sound. There will be a lot of mistakes, trust me 🙂 But the real goal is for music to become a source of confidence and inner support for you, and for the skills you gain to be truly useful.»
