I studied with Mariya for 4 years during which my skills as a pianist and interpreter increased dramatically. During every lesson Mariya brings challenge, inspiration, a sense of tradition and pride, and consistently clear logical advice concerning technique and musicality. My time spent under her excellent guidance gained me admission into my top choice university, where I am now in my 3rd year of piano performance studies. Mariya’s lessons still often come to mind and continue to aid my progress. I highly recommend Mariya for anyone who is serious about learning the art of classical piano.
