Yana and Rima Golberg, parent and grandparent of Stass, 3yrs old
Our family comes from Russia and is used to very high standards in music education. Our culture recognizes the importance of a quality education, and how much music improves all aspects of a child’s development. When we searched for the perfect teacher for our 3yr old boy we were disappointed in what we found here in the States, but then we discovered Victoria Drozdova. She is an absolute professional with an exceptional background and education, and she has a very special way with children. She makes lessons so fun that we all want to join in. Our 3 yr old boy, Stass, progressed from 30 minute to 45 minute classes in just 2 months and gives his total attention to Victoria. Anyone who knows children will appreciate how exceptional this is at his age. He has...

I first met Victoria Drozdova at the Portland District OMTA meeting on Jan. 22, 2014, when she was introduced as a new member who lived in S.E. Portland. After that meeting and some introductions, Victoria agreed to give a presentation to the Far East Focus Group in February on Russian music. I was so impressed with Victoria’s presentation on the four transcriptions from Prokofiev’s Ballet “Cinderella”, and the ease and beautiful way she played the piano, that I asked to study with her. I truly feel she can teach me not only Russian music, but help me improve my piano skills. After 3 lessons with Victoria, I am amazed at how much I am learning. Her use of adjectives to describe a certain passage and technique are very easy to relate to the...

To whom it may concern: I recommend to your attention pianist Victoria Drozdova. Vika, as she is known to her friends, was classically trained in Russia and currently resides in Portland, Oregon. It has been my pleasure to work with Vika over the past two years as her piano technician. From the beginning, she impressed me with with her artistry and focus in playing the piano. Vika’s ability to sightread advanced material is remarkable. For so many students, sight reading is the most difficult part of being a musician. Vika is an inspiration in this regard. In the twenty year that I have been at my profession, I have worked with countless performers, music lovers and students. Vika Drozdova is one of the brightest lights I have encountered in my career. Her...
