Teaching Philosophy
My main idea in teaching piano is to find a gold mean between technics and musicality in relation to the specific individuality of each student. Deep in my heart I believe that music is develops our souls and minds in many different ways. It helps us to better communicate and understand life. I know how to teach Students to play with flexibility and freedom, but at the same time a very accurate technical methods, which are the basis for performance. Specifically, I begin by adjusting the hands of beginners In the right way as a foundation for their further success. I myself am very passionate about music, performing as well as teaching , and will be happy to to open this beauty to my students through analogies of nature and through a rich palette of human emotions .

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.

Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
