About

I have graduated from the Juilliard school and the Moscow conservatory of music - the best musical institutions in the world . Having studied with wonderful teachers myself and being a concert pianist for most of my life , I feel great joy to pass all my aquired knowledge to my students.

I have been teaching piano for over 25 years , both children and adults, and have a lot of experience with students of all levels.

My lessons are engaging , fun and inspiring.

I have wonderful and lasting personal connections with my students and according to them lessons with me are more then just music lessons , but a great personal experience.

looking forward to working with you or your children

My daughter is in second grade and has been taking piano lessons weekly with Elena Baksht for over a year. Elena has a great approach with young children and my daughter learned not only to play, but read notes as well. Elena combines ways to incentivize my daughter to push herself and celebrate achievements and also finds more challenging pieces for her to play. We very much enjoy taking piano with Elena.

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

I play a few pieces for a student to choose which one they prefer to work on. Then we start a process on learning the compositions - we start focusing on learning the notes , but right from the begining I address the issues of phrasing and character , always making sure that the process of learning each piece is inspiring and creative. With my adult students I make correlations with works of art and literature to make the process even more inspiring . With all the students I evoke imagery and speak about expresivity and character of the pieces , making self expression our primary focus .

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Moscow Conservatory

Manhattan School of Music
