LAT says, "Dr. Yulia Lipmanovich tailors her teaching methods according to each individual student and his or her individual goals. Her knowledge of the different music literature and composers is vast and she imparts a style of playing as taught by her very well-known teachers. In addition, she is very patient, understanding, and acts as an excellent guide. Working with her has truly broadened my understanding of Musical Interpretation and more fundamentally, Sound. I cannot recommend studying with her enough. Whether you are returning to the piano after a long hiatus (like I did), or just beginning no matter what the age, you cannot go wrong studying with her. Finally, as a working Concert Pianist, Dr. Yulia organizes a series of Recitals, Student Concerts, Masterclasses, and is very involved in various Festivals. Her students can and are encouraged to participate and from personal experience, I can say that these supplementary activities, in addition to regular lessons, have been invaluable. " Read more

I began taking piano lessons with Dr. Kania after an absence from my music of more than a decade. Dr. Kania has helped me shape my music and develop my musicality. I have enjoyed working on pieces we have selected together while focusing on techniques to improve the tone and line of my music. He has many small exercises specifically designed to develop correct hand position and movement for tricky or difficult sections. He has helped me understand and improve how my hand and arm can move without tension, creating a richness of sound I had been searching for in my music. We have worked on technique, theory, musicality, and correct practicing of difficult passages during the course of my lessons, creating an integrated view of the musical work I am studying. Dr. Kania is a talented musician and conductor who also instills a deep and sincere appreciation for music in his students. I have found Dr. Kania to be professional and also very responsive to the needs of an adult student. I have enjoyed my lessons and am very satisfied with the music we have studied together. The resulting changes in the quality of my piano performance is dramatically noticeable to my friends and family who often listen to me play. He teaches with a level of care and depth of understanding I have never known in any previous instructor. I look forward to continuing my lessons with Dr. Kania. I feel I play more expressively and with joy since beginning my studies with him. I have recommended Dr. Kania and his unique approach to piano instruction to my friends.

Daniel has been fantastic with my 8 year old. He has been taking lessons with Daniel for almost a year now and his growth has been incredible. Daniel has taught my son to play with music that my son chooses and now he can just look at any chord sheet and just play. It’s unbelievable. If you are hesitant about virtual, I just want to say how awesome Daniel is with it. He catches everything. He is so observant. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
