It has been a pleasure to learn piano alongside the tutelage of Maria! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the piano yet explains it in terms that match my skill level and understanding. Her encouragement is always met alongside genuine correction, and it is clear she has a gift for training up pianists that leave with both confidence and craft. She’s awesome!

Reviews
Maria is a highly-qualified, excellent instructor. She has a deep interesting of proper technique and works hard to ensure that I learn correctly in every lesson. Maria has taken the time to understand my specific goals and tailors lesson plans to fit my interests and learning style. I highly recommend this instructor to anyone seeking lessons.
I cannot say enough about Dr. Lypkova! She is brilliant, engaging, and seamlessly merges music theory and practice! I absolutely love the assignments and practice she provides leading up to our online lessons, so our time together is maximized! She is a phenomenal teacher, even from across the country :)
Such an amazing teacher. She knows so much and is able to cater to your needs. You won't be disappointed with her. Im loving my lessons so far and can't wait for the next one. I would highly recommend.
Dr Lyapkova is absolutely a brilliant. I had owned a piano for three years at the time of our first lesson, but I always found myself giving up every-time I tried to get back to playing. Dr Lyapkova not only helped me rekindle my love for the piano, but she also helped break down parts that a I had previously found challenging and now I look forward to every class and practise session!
Maria was very professional, knowledgeable, and great engaging my two daughters 6 and 4. They are both excited about their next lesson.
