My step-daughter started piano lessons with Olga a little over a year ago, with no previous experience on the piano, and has learned a tremendous amount. Olga is a very demanding teacher, which I like. The repertoire is primarily classical. She puts a strong emphasis on precise playing and on the proper touch involving the fingers, hand, and arm. She gives a broad musical education, that covers not only playing but also musical theory, sight reading, ear training, and public performance. She puts on recitals twice a year so the students can show off their skills. She also teaches flute, and the flautists perform in the same recitals. read more
