Welcome to the Gorbik Method

The Gorbik Method is an online (and offline) home for Orthodox Church musicians all over the world. Founded in 2020 by Vladimir Gorbik, our approach has always been a straightforward one:

"Gorbik  teaches you to conduct from your heart. It's not just about the fundamentals of conducting, it's how to worship and lead from your heart. 


He doesn't just spend time on your hand technique, he teaches about the theology of the music.


I have a lot more confidence and I feel that I have someone to look to for help."

“These tutorials have been so helpful for me. To be able to ask Maestro Gorbik simple questions about prayerfulness, music, tone and all that, is basic and necessary in any classroom. 


The administration of the choir, on the other hand, is something I don’t think I could get anywhere except in the Gorbik Method: How do you do X? What if someone is doing Y and you want him to do Z?


The wonderful thing about the Gorbik Method is that I discover, in every monthly call or chat, is that what I thought was a problem unique to me, is something many other choir directors are encountering. Not only that—Vladimir Gorbik has an answer! Most often, it’s something I had never thought of before!”

“I’ve always had problems with directing, but Vladimir could always  tell me what to fix. He taught me how to move my hands correctly...  ...how to live the music you’re directing, and how to feel the music in your heart and translate it through your hands.

I have no words to express my deep gratitude to him. I count myself extremely lucky to have met him!”

“Vladimir not only wants you to surpass your potential, he wants you to surpass his potential. 

He does all this in order to keep alive the rich tradition of singing in a church choir for the glory of God. 


Maestro Gorbik is the best there is at applying classical conducting technique to a church setting. 

He elicits the highest quality of sound, diction, & intonation, all while maintaining the prayerfulness which is the element that sets his choirs apart.  

Via his instruction, I have learned how to apply these techniques in the same manner. 

I am truly grateful to study under one of the best, and will forever continue learning and applying that which I have acquired under his instruction.”

“If you have any doubt about Vladimir’s unbelievable teaching ability, listen to this: 

Even though I had absolutely no formal music education... and even though I had to compete against others who spent their whole lives learning music...

Thanks to Vladimir, I was able to pass my entrance exams into the Saratov State Conservatory. I am now a professional choral conductor! 

Thanks to the knowledge Vladimir gave me, I have participated in multiple nation-wide choral conductor competitions and won multiple awards.

I still consider him my teacher and mentor. I often ask him for professional or life advice. And he always helps me.

My dream of becoming a professional musician and choir director has come true only thanks to my teacher – Vladimir Gorbik.”

If you’re serious about building your choir, becoming a successful, confident, experienced and educated choir director - don’t wait. Start learning from Vladimir Gorbik. You’ll never regret it.


Your choir will soar to new heights. You will get confidence and joy.  Your parish will start praying better. Do it for yourself - and, more importantly,  for the glory of God!
