Meet Anna
I am specialized in giving quality piano lessons for children and adults.
Music is my love and my passion which I gladly share with my students.
I have been teaching in St.Joseph area for about 15 years. Most of these years I taught Piano in Notre Dame Music Department.
Three years ago I started a private piano studio on the South Side of South Bend. Although my own private piano studio was established in 2013 I have been in this profession for more than 45 years when working for different music schools in Russia, Bulgaria and the USA
I hold a Master's Degree in classical Piano and Music Theory and Music History from the best music schools of Moscow and Leningrad, Russia. My extensive education and strong training helped me to accommodate to American main piano teaching methods and enhance them with the classical Russian school methods. My teaching philosophy includes: Supporting, Empowering, Engaging, Caring, Sharing, Reflecting, Nurturing, Assessing.
Welcome to my class!

Anna is a talented pianist and teacher. We have worked with her for seven years and our children have grown into beautiful musicians and music lovers. Anna meets children where they are at but always pushes her students to be the best they can be. She finds compelling music that each individual child is interested in and motivates in kind and caring ways.

Anna is a splendid teacher for students of all levels. She has a deep understanding of theory and performance, a command of all periods from baroque to contemporary and her demonstrations of the pieces are a joy to hear.
