English - teaching inspires me to write new songs.

I am a musician and I also enjoy teaching English. Teaching inspires me to write new songs it also makes me happy. When I see a person learn or discover something new during my classes it brings me back the moment when I was experiencing this myself and I relive it again through the personality, it is very fulfilling. The story of my relationship with English. My friendship with the language began somewhere around 2004, I was a student of Kaliningrad Technical State University. One time I accidentally attended the contemporary dance performance of Vitaly Glykhov, in the Kaliningrad Museum of History. After the performance I approached him telling that I was very moved by what I saw, we chatted a little bit and it turned out to be that he was also an actor in the theater and an English teacher as well. I went to the audition because I wanted to be part of this amazing world of creative personalities, it went well, and I was accepted and became part of the troupe, to my great happiness really. It was an incredible time for me, when you are in the theater, there are a lot of people there, and they are all creatively crazy in a good sense of this word, so I had the opportunity to learn from them by being a 'sponge'. I also started to take private English lessons from Vitalik. he was also my choreography teacher he was an incredible actor in the theatre, and an amazing dancer, and he was kind of guru to me, because I saw his performances and it was very inspiring, I could talk to him as an actor, teacher, choreographer, director, and just as a friend. he was very supportive in every passion I had, we talked about (actually I talked about my creativity and he was listening to me) music, English, meaning of my songs, etc and it gave me a great confidence about my creativity. I was so inspired by the theatre, his lessons and the whole mysterious atmosphere of this creative world so I even changed my University from technical to the humanities. ...when I was changing my University from 5th year, everyone - friends, family told me I shouldn't do it but I did the right thing, it's kind of a challenge when nobody around believes in you, but once you get through it your belief in yourself becomes stronger, and then you begin to see absolutely new perspectives. I had my English teacher who believed in me, and I did the right thing. So I would take private English lessons from him. Often the theater rehearsals would finish quite late so what it meant – me sneaking around in the rehearsal room with an English book, Rhymond Murphy, in my hands making sure the director didn’t see the aspiring student because I could be fired, and riding my bicycle in the midnight towards the place where Vitalik was living, really a mysterious one in the basement of the amber seller’s mansion with a quite underground atmosphere. So I took inspiring lessons from him and at the same time I was a student of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, ‘Philology and Journalism’ (‘Art and Humanities’) and Linguistics & Intercultural Communication - ‘Spoken English’. I also joined Contemporary Dance Theatre as a dancer where Vitalik was a director, ballet classes and started to take jazz singer lessons.
