The two musicians started out by teaching a handful of students in their Carmel home, and in only a few years they had young performers coming from across the U.S. to train with them.Now, as Nadia and Val celebrate the academy’s fifth anniversary, they also are opening their own studio so they don’t have to continue working out of their home. The studio, at 301 E. Carmel Dr., Suite E350, has an open house from 3 to 5 p.m. Nov. 14, when people can tour the facility and learn more about what it will offer.“It’s a difficult process but it’s so magical for me to see,” said Nadia, 32. “I still can’t believe that it’s happening because everything moved so fast. It was my dream to open a big studio. I can imagine already that it’ll be a perfect environment for our musical community.” Nadia and Val were born and trained in Russia, where they attended the Gnesins Academy Of Music in Moscow. Val, 47, is a guitarist while Nadia is a vocalist. Nadia’s uncle lives in Carmel, and when she visited him, she was impressed by the community. She and Val qualified for an EB-1 visa, which allows people with extraordinary abilities — ranging from music to science to athletics — to immigrate to the U.S. They moved here in 2019.They work with individuals from the age of 3 and up, including adults. Classes range from guitar to vocal performance to music production to music theory and beyond. Thanks to the new studio, Nadia said, they hope to host more group classes.Nadia and Val give their students the autonomy to pursue their interests. Instead of picking a musical or a performance for the students to do, they allow the students to choose their area of interest. They even offer a Modern Viral Dance class where students learn dances they see on social media.“It’s really important for us that they have the opportunity to pick songs that they love,” Nadia said. When Nadia speaks about the academy and about the students, she frequently uses the words “love” and “magical.” Nadia wants to keep that magic going with the studio, and said she and Val are happy to bring the service to Carmel.“We really love this place,” Nadia said. “It’s so blessed and the people are so amazing. We are lucky to live here and to share our skills with people and to help them grow and express their talents.”</div></body>
