What Larisa's Students Say
Kris Veenstra
Kris Veenstra
As an adult student of piano, I needed a supportive and positive learning environment and Larisa has provided that in spades. She is a superb teacher who is able to strike the perfect balance between encouraging the development of sound technical skills, building confidence and instilling her love of music into every lesson. I am very grateful for her tutelage and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Very flexible, patient and understanding
Victoria
Learning the Piano requires two things: exercise and great teacher. I find Larisa very flexible, patient and understanding teacher. She inspires me to learn and seek more. Her methods of teaching made my progress much faster than I expected and I honestly would recommend her to any student who has desire to understand the language of music.
A truly inspirational teacher
Alison Kennedy
Larisa has been my daughter’s piano teacher for over 2 years – since my daughter was 4. I can wholeheartedly recommend Larisa as a a piano teacher. My daughter now loves music and the piano and has great fun with Larisa during lessons.
Larisa is reliable and thoroughly well prepared for each lesson. She tailors exercises and chooses pieces of music to engage and inspire young children.
The framework that Larisa sets for learning is, in my opinion, beneficial for a child’s general approach to education – she encourages a joy of learning and encourages innovation and experimentation.
A truly inspirational teacher.
