Testimonials

What students say about my teaching style:

As a proud mom of Ana, I would like to acknowledge that the achievements of those wonderful musicians is only possible through following the great example of their teacher. A fearless performer, an incredible artist and a wonderful person, you inspire with your music and personality! 

It doesn't come as a surprise to me, after watching Ana maturing (literally) under your generous guidance and immense support, that your studio creates artists. I am truly grateful for you!

With respect,
Ivelina

You're an AMAZING teacher! You bring out the best in each of your students. You support them in any way you could! You're a great encourager to Margaret! Your skill in teaching piano is INCREDIBLE! These kids are so blessed to have you as their music teacher!

Petya is a highly talented, knowledgeable and experienced piano teacher who is able to bring out the best in her students. Both my kids (ages 13 and 17) have been taking lessons from Petya and they both have improved significantly in their musical skills. She is very patient in giving feedback in a way that you can understand and appreciate. She also helps you develop your own musical style, and the ability to critique your own playing. With Petya's guidance, my 13 year old son was able to win first place at the 2019 Kiwanis Music Festival. Petya was also instrumental in supporting my son's audition and acceptance into the Senior Pianist program at Phil and Eli Taylor Academy of music for September 2020. We highly recommend Petya as a piano teacher if you are truly looking to improve your child's piano skills."

"I started lessons with Petya one year ago and have learned so much from her. At the beginning I was very self concious about being in my late 20s with zero piano experience, but Petya was very patient and made me feel 100% supported. At the same time, Petya teaches in a very detailed and thorough way making sure that you never develop bad habits. Her focus on details and musicality really help bring out your sound! I never imagined being able to participate in a competition (before covid hit), but Petya helped me master my pieces and gave me the confidence to succeed. Thanks for being a wonderful teacher!"

"Petya is a very professional teacher who is dedicated to helping you grow. She concentrates on perfecting your form as well as your technique. She is very motivating and encouraging. She is also a very funny and friendly person to be around so it’s always a fun time! I would definitely recommend going to her if you want to really grow and develop your piano skills or just have a fun time learning how to play piano!"

"Petya is a great pianist as well as instructor. She is patient, encouraging, positive as well as deeply knowledgeable and willing to share her knowledge with anyone interested in learning. She has helped me improve my technique immensely and has an attention to detail that is remarkable. She also makes the lessons engaging and fun. I cannot recommend her enough!"

I highly recommend Petya if you are looking for a professional and caring piano teacher. Petya has the rare ability of being both a wonderfully talented musician, as well as a thoughtful and patient teacher who offers great feedback and tips for her students. As an adult learning to play again after a long break, I really appreciate Petya's supportive & encouraging approach!"
