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!

I have taken piano lessons from Ms. Zarema for a number of years. She is very knowledgeable, patient and kind, but at same time strict about setting the right foundation of piano playing: making sure my posture and hand position were proper. Ms. Zarema provides opportunities for all her students to participate in a class recital which is held twice a year, as well as participation in music festivals. In addition, I was able to take part in the Certificate of Merit test for a number of years, and each time progressing to a more advanced level. I have played some very beautiful and fun pieces, some of which, I can play by heart to this day if I were to sit down. I would highly recommend going to Ms. Zarema for lessons, she is patient and can teach anyone willing to learn! If I desire to take more piano lessons in the future I would sure go back to Ms. Zarema.
