We spent a full year with another piano teacher and honestly didn’t see much progress — Mikhail was never excited about it. But after just one lesson with Maria, everything changed. The next morning he actually woke up and went straight to the piano on his own. Now he looks forward to every single lesson and is always excited to go to her studio. We’re so happy we made the switch — it’s been a complete game-changer for our family.

Taking piano lessons as an adult was intimidating at first, but Maria made it feel completely natural. Her teaching is tailored, insightful, and non-judgmental. It has become one of the most fulfilling parts of my week, a recharging break from my hectic and sometimes stressful workday.

Both of my girls take lessons with Maria, and we couldn’t be happier. She really knows how to connect with each of them — even though they have totally different personalities. One is more shy, the other super energetic, and somehow Maria keeps them both engaged and motivated. We’ve seen great progress, but more importantly, they actually enjoy practicing. It’s been such a positive part of their week.

I love lessons with Maria. I have a busy schedule, but she always makes it comfortable for me. She built a learning plan tailored to my schedule, goals, and even the kind of music I enjoy. It feels personal, not one-size-fits-all and that keeps me motivated.I enjoy every lesson.
