Yesterday I had a very exiting visit from my former student Adrian Cheung. He is about to start his second year at the Georgia Tech university. He is going to major in CS with a concentration in AI. Being deeply involved with his studies he still finds a lot of joy in playing piano pieces and participating in the orchestra as a violinist. For nine years Adrian was studying piano in my studio. It has been a great pleasure to teach him. He always has been and I am sure still is a very dedicated and enthusiastic scholar. Good luck in your new life adventure!

As this school year come to the end I have mixed feelings. I am exited about coming summer time and prospects of the coming year. Yet It is very emotional for me since one of my student is about open next chapter of her life. Ava The Little Fingers has graduated from High School and going to study at UVA. Ava has been studying piano with me since she was almost five. She is very talented and dedicated young musician. Not only she play piano, she compose her own music and a signer.
Farewell Ava! enjoy your new life!

My musical journey began when I was 8 years old, and it's been an incredible learning experience ever since. From the thrill of uncovering new music for my students to the challenge of learning new piece, every step of the way has been so rewarding. Taking black symbols on a page and transforming them into vibrant, living sound is truly magical!
What does "lifelong learning" mean in the classical music world?
"I am a beginner. I am always learning."

Few photos from our recent Winter Recital. It was a pleasure to watch my students perform. The first group, composed of my beginner students, was especially impressive as for most of them it was the very first stage performance. The second group, featuring my more experienced students, showcased their growth in skill. It was truly inspiring to observe the development of my students.

What a pleasure for me as a teacher to see a student's comeback to music education. Several years ago Nika put her piano lessons on hold only to return to it with a different twist. Not only she is eager to learn piano, she also plays guitar and deeply involved in her high school band activities.

At my piano studio I offer lessons for children and adults. Lessons are tailored to each student's individual needs and abilities. I teach all levels , from beginners to advance, from hobby players to competitors in international competitions.
A vast amount of musical literature collected over 20 years of experience allows me to expose students to the treasures of musical culture and help them enjoy a rich musical life by participating in its traditions.
