Piano Lessons

I apply a very individualized approach to each of my students according to their personality, age, and level as well as their individual goals as musicians.

While I have experience teaching students of all levels, I specialize in piano instruction for adults.

I strongly believe that learning to play an instrument should be an enjoyable experience.

My approach to teaching aims to help my students achieve their goals without compromising the fundamental principals of playing piano.

Evgenia has a balanced way of teaching. She insists that her students use diligence while working through new and difficult music. Also, parents are expected to assist their child at home with their practicing. However, this demand for excellence is complemented by Evgenia’s attitude of encouragement and genuine interest in her students. While she does push them to advance in their playing, she also wants them to love playing the piano and to be creative. My family appreciates Evgenia’s stern yet benevolent approach to teaching.

Teaching Philosophy

With solid Eastern European and American training, I draw my inspiration from the best pedagogical achievements of European traditions. (Bela Bartok, Zoltán Kodály)

To me, playing music is one of the only disciplines that simultaneously engages one physically, mentally, and emotionally. I believe that learning an instrument is essential in ones’ development and growth as well as inner harmony.

We were so delighted to find Evgenia to teach piano for our daughter. Evgenia is gentle, encouraging, and knows how to pace the lessons to fit each child. Our daughter has accomplished so much under Evgenia's guidance!
