We are a small team of highly qualified and recognized internationally teaching artists and educators holding advanced graduate degrees from conservatories in Russia and the United States. Our goal is to make classical music education available to everyone by maintaining the best standards of teaching at an affordable rate. Our core value is to evolve people’s lives and inspire it with a lifelong love and passion for classical music.
We believe the students need to be engaged and interested in what they are playing and studying. That is why in addition to studying piano with individualized repertoire choices, our lessons and classes incorparate solfège, ear-training, music appreciation and history, elements of Dalcroze eurhythmics and the Kodály method.
Many of our students have won local and international piano competitions, successfully completed AP music theory examinations, all levels of the Arizona Study Program, and Royal Conservatory of Music exams. While focusing on an innovative and re-envisioned classical music curriculum based on European tradition and legacy, we encourage students and parents to explore contemporary music education methods like classes in electronic music and music technology.
