Piano Lessons in Hastings on Hudson. Amazing Teachers.

I am a Bronx native professional opera-singer that has been studying singing for 10 years and playing piano since the age of 7. I have been teaching both voice and beginner to intermediate piano to all ages for five years throughout the Bronx, Manhattan, and Queens. My voice and piano lessons focus on developing a healthy technique, learning how to sight read, breathing exercises, acting, and having fun. I teach all genres and can help with audition preparation.

Kristina is a classically trained pianist from Russia who has been teaching young children to adults since 2014. She started playing piano at the tender age of seven, and went on to graduate from the Michaylovsk School of Music with a Diploma in Piano Performance. In addition to her studies abroad, she also studied piano performance at Florida International University in Miami. She is both fluent in Russian and in English.

Kristina comes to us as an experienced and knowledgeable teacher, who brings a depth of skills to those who are eager to expand their musical talents. She believes in an approach that gives students positive reinforcement in a constructive manner, that creates an open space to learn and advance. She designs the lessons according to the students’ needs, with an emphasis on creating a solid foundation. Within her lessons, she implements the elements of Music Theory, Sight-Singing and Sight-Reading.

I have been playing piano for 10+ years and have taught piano for 1 year.

Piano Lessons with me will cover the core and fundamentals of playing but I allow my students the authority to learn music and songs that they enjoy to ensure the lessons remain fun and entertaining. I want people to always learn the basics to lay the foundation but what propelled me to a higher level was always making to have fun as I progressed in my playing.

I am very passionate about student success. My students not only learn how to play piano, but also how to use practicing strategies they learn in piano lessons in other areas of their lives. My students leave lessons feeling accomplished and motivated to practice.

With 10 years of piano teaching experience, I customize the lesson goals to what makes you excited about piano (playing pop music, writing songs,
playing by ear, or whatever makes you love piano) ... piano should be fun!

My studio is centrally located 5 minutes from Easton in Columbus OH, and my goal is to make sure you enjoy this musical journey!
