Mariya has been teaching me piano for 6 years. She is very knowledgeable in music performance and pedagogy. Coupled with her passion, my playing has improved leaps and bounds both technically and expression-wise ever since learning from her. Her encouragement for me to participate in recitals and competitions continue to foster my confidence in the instrument.

Under Mariya’s tutelage, I am much more emotionally and intellectually bonded to music, a gift which she inspires me to pass on to my own piano students. Mariya is an open-minded teacher who welcomes new ideas and questions, creating a positive learning environment. Meanwhile, she sets high expectations for her students, as she does for herself, to challenge them to attain new heights in the art. Her school is definitely one of the best choices for those who adore music and wish to pursue for self-betterment in piano.
