Testimonials:

  • Darya worked with me to get me to understand complex concepts quickly through my own experience. She used various approaches to help me understand some things that I was struggling with at first. Our lessons were tailored to me specifically and to the areas in my voice that needed the most growth and support. She really helped me grow exponentially as a vocalist. Darya takes her profession seriously, she is very knowledgeable, and is a great teacher who really cares about her students.

    Marina Bajszár, singer-songwriter

  • With great pleasure I want to publicly extol the virtues of Darya as a music teacher. I’ve been around music all of my life, I know it well and know what qualities make up the essence of a very, very fine music teacher. She has them all. She is a very talented pianist, composer and a singer. Darya is intuitive and has great insight as to how to approach her students so that they thoroughly enjoy their experience at her lessons. She listens to what her students want to achieve, whether it’s as a piano student or a voice student. She meets them where they are and thus begins a really wonderful musical experience for student and teacher.

  • Both Drake and Colton have had several piano teachers. So far, Anna has given the most homework, but that is a good thing. I have found out because of that my kids are not as good at sight reading as I thought. So her approach is helping them with fundamentals much more than their previous teachers. I really appreciate that. Double thanks to Anna.

  • Anna is an awesome piano teacher! I love her enthusiasm every time we meet! I am really focused on my piano practice now since she has told me to learn notes. I am thankful to her for everything.

    Elizabeth Pena - 16 y.o. piano student

  • Anna has an amazing blend of musicality, warmth and structure that keeps my child engaged during her lessons. My daughter has been taking lessons with Anna for over a year and is receiving a solid foundation in music theory while learning to play with poise and artistry. Anna holds recitals which also allow her students to showcase their progress and learn how to perform in front of an audience, skills that will serve them well in all areas of life. She is also a gifted pianist in her own right which inspires my daughter to no end. I cannot sing Anna's praises enough as an individual and a teacher.
