Performing and teaching are equally meaningful ways for me to bring music to life and share it with others. I have taught students from many countries and find great joy in inspiring each of them to discover their own voice at the piano and to shape the repertoire with depth and imagination.

Anastacia has been teaching my son for a year now and I could not recommend her more. Her approach has inspired him so much and given him a confidence I have not seen in him before. She took the time to really understand his passion for playing and helped select pieces that he really enjoys learning. I am amazed when I hear him play now, he has improved exponentially. Anastacia is flexible and easy to work with as well as being an incredible performer herself. More...

Anastacia is a top class piano teacher, she has truly inspired my son and he has developed at an incredible pace. When they first met she really took time to understand what he enjoys and selects pieces that he wants to learn. He has gained a huge amount of confidence and his musical flare is blossoming. Anastacia is also flexible and very easy to work with making the whole experience very satisfying. I feel so proud when I hear my son play and much of that is inspired by Anastacia More...

In Anastasia, my teenage daughter has found an inspiring, caring and exceptionally hard-working piano teacher and virtuoso pianist.
Now a year later, we can absolutely say that my daughter’s piano playing, understanding of classical music, and self-confidence as a piano student have been transformed.
In my daughter’s own words: above all, I am learning to be independent because Anastasia not just teaches me to play a few piano pieces but she teaches me to see a big picture in music. At the same time, she is always willing to look into small details, whether in terms of my technique or musical expression or music theory, and it really demonstrates her amazing work ethic. Once I watched Anastasia perform herself and accompany other musicians in a concert, she worked non-stop and did it with such grace and humility. She demands a lot from me in every lesson (and between our lessons), but at the same time she is very sensitive and can tell very quickly when I am tired or not feeling well, even though we meet mostly online. I am really inspired by Anastasia’s deep teaching and passion for classical music, and I am simply in awe of her piano-playing skill! And yet, she is one of the kindest and most humble people I have personally met or seen in the media. I whole-heartedly recommend Anastasia as a piano teacher and pianist.

Anastacia started teaching my son on piano music since last month. He had obvious improvement on his skills and better and deeper understanding in each music piece. Thank you Anastacia!

What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about teaching is to discover and develop the musicality of my students. To teach them to understand the deeper meaning of musical works.
What I love most about performing is conveying the emotion that I experience when performing musical works.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My passion for music transcends playing; it's in sharing its magic. Witnessing students' eyes light up as they grasp a melody or master a piece, became my driving force. Starting my own business let me offer a personalized, learning environment where notes play their story and every student feels the rhythm of their own musical journey.
Why should our clients choose you?
When I teach I love help my students and help them to move forward in reaching their musical goals.
When I give concerts I want to create something unforgettable for the audience.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I offer my piano instruction services online through platforms like Zoom, Jitsi and Google Meet. These online sessions allow for real-time feedback, flexible scheduling, easy sharing of digital resources, and consistent progress tracking. It's a convenient way for students to receive quality musical education from the comfort of their homes.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Covid-19 not only highlighted the importance of safety but also taught me the effectiveness of online lessons. In many instances, I've found that remote instruction can be more focused and efficient, allowing students to learn in a comfortable environment while also ensuring their health and well-being.
