Why Parents Choose Maria
  • 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.

  • 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.
