Daniel Lessner is undoubtedly the best music teacher I have ever had. I have been a pianist for more than 20 years and have been studying with Daniel for the last 4. His passion for the piano is unmatched and infectious. His teaching style is clear, focused, and highly practical. He explains not only the technical aspects of each piano piece, but also the musical aspects and the composer's intentions. With his guidance I've been able to learn pieces such as Rachmaninoff Concerto 2 and Chopin Ballades 1, 2, and 3. I highly recommend Daniel as a teacher to pianists of any level, and especially those who are looking to elevate their piano playing to the next level.

"I spent a magical evening recording The Musyca Children's Choir for my upcoming album. The group is one of the most talented choirs I have ever heard, their professionalism is world class. These kids in my book are “stars”!”

I have been taking piano lessons with Anahit for 2,5 years. I was recommended by an acquaintance, whose technique I admired and I also saw the improvement immediately after she started taking classes with Anahit. I am so glad I made the decision to commit full time and let Anahit work her magic. She has certainly taken me to new levels of knowledge, skill and technique. If anyone is serious about playing the piano, especially as a career, look no further. Aside being a master of her craft, she is kind, professional and polite. I highly recommend her!

Mridula Singh Mr. Bijor is an excellent teacher! He remains positive and encouraging during his lessons. He is very accommodating with class rescheduling/time change requests. I started learning from him in November 2021. He comes up with different creative ways to explain the concepts. Whether I am working on perfecting the beats or trying to understand how to read the music. During our lessons he actively listens to my playing and spots problems as they occur and provides additional tips to help develop the skill I am struggling with. Great teacher! I highly recommend him.
