Teach according to my aptitude. Good teacher!!! He possesses a most strong educational background and professional competence. Despite my limited self-study experience, he didn't force me into his teaching methods. Instead, he first understand my thoughts, assessed my abilities, and provided the space I needed while guiding me.

Daniel Lessner - piano lessons

Hovik L.

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.
