Piano

A results-driven piano instructor, choir conductor, and classical singer with 23 years of playing and 10 years of teaching piano and music to children ages 3-12, teenagers, and adults. Growing up in a family of musicians, Anna has fond memories of watching her mother sing and play the piano. She fell in love with the magical world of music and has been playing the piano since the age of 3.

Anna’s professional achievements include playing in ensembles and performing at major concert halls. She has won numerous piano competitions, including Best Accompanist Performance at Mikhail Glinka Minsk State Music College Festival in 2013. Anna has studied piano, choir, vocal, solfège, harmony, and music literature for 17 years, first at Minsk State Music College, then at the Belarusian State Academy of Music with a major in piano instruction, choir conducting, and vocal instruction. Anna’s students have been accepted, with high passing grades, to several university music programs.

Anna believes that playing piano is essential for everyone, because piano music is incredibly powerful and can bring out strong emotions in both the listener and player. This leads to stress relief and better all-around physical health.

Anna's classes are never boring for children, as she uses special play techniques and play exercises for the development of motor skills and ear training. Adults are usually enrolled in an individual program based on set goals. After attending your very first lesson with Anna, you will be able to perform simple melodies.

My teaching approach is to make piano lessons fun and enjoyable while building a strong foundation of playing piano, note reading, music theory, ear training, technique, and more. I always use music-based games, and I like to sing with my students while we play the piano, making my lessons engaging.
 
I also remember, that each student is different and requires different attention, and likes different things, that is why I'm good at adjusting the piano lessons to each individual student.

Pop, Disney, jazz, classical or rock we will play it all! I love to see students playing different styles of music.

My daughter love taking piano classes from her. Anna is an excellent teacher.

Anna is an incredible voice teacher! My 14-year-old daughter has been under her guidance for a year now, and the transformation in her singing abilities has been nothing short of remarkable.

Under Anna's guidance, my daughter has developed a beautiful singing voice that she's proud to showcase. She recently had the opportunity to perform at a recital and even participated in a competition, where she impressively secured the second-place position!

Anna's structured approach to vocal training ensures that my daughter is not only enjoying her lessons but also making steady progress. Anna infuses each session with creativity and fun, making learning a joyous experience for my daughter. This not only motivates her to attend lessons eagerly but also encourages her to practice at home with genuine enthusiasm.

As a parent, I couldn't be more thankful to Anna for the positive impact she has had on my daughter's musical journey.

My 9-year-old son and I had an incredibly positive experience working with piano teacher Anna for his lessons. There were several aspects I appreciated about her teaching style and approach.

First and foremost, Anna's patience and understanding were remarkable. She made learning the piano a fun and enjoyable experience for my son. Her ability to adapt her teaching methods to his age and skill level ensured that he remained engaged and motivated throughout the lessons.

Anna also had a knack for breaking down complex concepts into simpler, more digestible parts. This made it easier for my son to grasp fundamental music theory and piano techniques. Her clear explanations and visual aids helped him understand musical concepts more effectively. These qualities not only helped my son progress in his piano skills but also fostered a genuine love for playing the piano.

Anna is a phenomenal piano teacher! Her passion and expertise shine through her teaching. Patient, skilled at explaining complex concepts, and fostering a love for music. My progress has been remarkable under her guidance. Highly recommended!

Our son is having so much fun learning piano and his confidence is growing! I couldn't be happier with her teaching style!

Hanna is a kind and very knowledgeable piano teacher. I learn so much during my lessons. I could never ask to find a better teacher than Hanna!

Hanna is such a patient instructor and gets along really well with my 13-y.o. daughter. My daughter can’t wait for her next piano lesson. Hanna is kind and encouraging. I would definitely recommend her as an instructor!
