"Our son started taking piano lessons with Elena when he was seven, and is still doing it happily five years later. Elena has been an outstanding teacher. She is rigorous, nurturing, detail oriented, encouraging and flexible. Elena's passion for music comes through her instruction, which is always of a very high standard. Beyond the piano books, Elena has prepared our son to play difficult pieces with ease. Under her guidance, he has successfully completed multiple levels of the certificate of merit program. Elena makes every minute of the lesson count and is very generous with her time. We are very grateful and happy to have found her and I hope you will too. Highly recommend!”

“Studying piano with Elena was an incomparable experience which was more rewarded than challenging, but never dull. Her musical expertise is evident by the depth of her commentary and suggestions for improvement during her music lessons with students. Her dynamic piano lessons are structured in a way which requires both student and teacher to listen to one another, beginning with Elena's positive feedback and coming together with visible improvement in the student's performance. Elena keeps her students on their toes, helping to increase their confidence, passion, and determination to continue enjoying and delving deeper into the language of music. Elena is a disciplined and inspiring musician whom anyone would be very lucky to have as an instructor. This was clear to me during my time as one of her former students. I will cherish our lessons and her advice without end!”
