what artists say
'Rebekka saved me when I needed to learn a role quickly. Each session was filled with layers of knowledge — from diction to musicality and style, to historical context. Her coaching is unparalleled.'
Raehann Bryce-Davis
Mezzo-soprano, USA
'Rebekka is an exceptional pianist, repetiteur and Russian language coach. She was an invaluable member of the team for Queen of Spades at Garsington Opera in 2025 where she trained our principal and cover casts with musical and linguistic insight.'
Jonathon Cole-Swinard
Head of Music, Garsington Opera, UK
'Rebekka was the pianist for my conducting coaching sessions with Professor Colin Metters. Her playing was sensitive and demonstrated a strong understanding of major orchestral works, particularly in the operatic repertoire. I especially appreciated her spontaneous, generous and sincere approach to the instrument, which produced a truly symphonic sound and provided me with the pace and musical breadth I needed as a conductor.'
Hu Kun
International soloist, conductor, professor of Royal Academy of Music
'Rebekka is excellent at explaining the ‘why’ of the language, rather than just the ‘what’ — essential for artists using the Russian language in performance. No matter what aspect I struggle with, she always has a helpful exercise or piece of context to unlock it. She is rigorous in her method, deeply passionate about her craft — and also a truly lovely person!'
Ben Mills
Stage Director, UK
'Rebekka Magomedova’s one of those rare gems that seems to have everything one can wish for in a collaborative pianist. She is a pleasure to be around, is a carrier of so much knowledge: styles, languages, traditions. A collaborator in the truest sense of the word, she supports and enriches every musical environment she is in.'
Olga Makarina
soprano (Metropolitan Opera), vocal teacher, Artistic Director of CantoFest
'I recall with great pleasure Rebekka’s professionalism and preparation — a pianist attentive to every technical, musical and expressive detail; a remarkable coach with the desire to convey and reveal the profound secret that music holds.'
