Nataliya Frenzel was born in Ukraine. At the age of six, she began her first piano lessons, and since then, music—especially piano music—has become the focal point of her life. After seven years at a music school, she continued her education at the music conservatory in Kirovograd, where she successfully completed her piano studies in 1990. She then pursued a degree at the Faculty of Music Education at the Pedagogical University. Since 1999, Nataliya Frenzel has been living in Germany. At the University of Augsburg, she studied Music Education with a focus on piano, as well as Psychology and German Philology, graduating in 2007 with a Master of Arts (M.A.).
Since then, she has worked as a freelance piano educator, including at the Faculty of Music Education at the University of Augsburg. Since 2022, she has been teaching at the Sing- und Musikschule Zusmarshausen-Horgau. In her teaching, she places special emphasis on versatility in piano playing and encourages creative thinking. As an accompanist, she has performed multiple times with children's and adult choirs and has accompanied singers and instrumental soloists on the piano. She has played in a salon orchestra and in a salsa band.
Throughout her extensive career as a piano instructor, Nataliya Frenzel has composed numerous piano pieces tailored for her younger and adult students. Her compositions are characterized by memorable melodies and clear harmonic structures, and they are very popular. Nataliya has also composed several children's songs for children's choirs, using poems by Frantz Wittkamp. Since 2018, she has been publishing her works with the artist-ahead publishing house. To date, she has released six books for beginner and advanced pianists through this publisher. In 2023, her new book for beginner pianists titled "Hauptsache Klavier" ("The main thing is piano") was published by Matzneller Verlag in Vienna. The book is illustrated in a child-friendly manner and contains many accessible piano pieces aimed at improving the pianistic technique and musical expression of young pianists.
