Talented and a wonderful teacher, Val is a breathe of fresh air. He know how to work with students at all different levels and ages, and shows an exceptional balance of bringing both fun and seriousness into learning the piano. He has so much knowledge and is very professional. We are delighted to be working with him!

Valery is the absolute best! For the first time in my life I actually feel like I'm getting closer to reaching my goals and learning how to play. After each lesson, I always feel more confident. He caters his lessons to each student based on what they hope to achieve by learning the piano which I think makes each lesson so exciting because it very much motivates you to practice.

V is a very passinate musician who is very true to his art and work. He loves music and has a dedication to share it with other people. He is a very nice and patient guy to work with and always trying new ways to help his students with a better approach if they can not figure out the right technique at first.

Val is awesome! He's a very good teacher and patient. I'm a music producer yet have never had formal piano instruction. He's great because he challenges me and backs off when I'm just not getting it and goes a little slower with me. Very professional and kind gent!

My wife started taking lessons with Val and it was so inspiring, vibrant and accessible that my daughter and I started lessons after the first day. We have had other teachers but Val is unique - he can speak and teach to any skill level and age and keep it about the music and techniques that keep you interested and inspired. We can't recommend him highly enough - it's our most exciting day of the week.

Val is very good with kids and is very patient and kind. After only one month my 8 year old is excelling and my 7 year old is continually getting better. Below is what they have to say about him. "Val is a very good teach because he helps us rise to the top" - 7 year old. "He helps us with the notes and different fingering so we can learn how to play piano better." - 8 year old.

I came to Val in search of a piano teacher and mentor and he has so far exceeded those expectations! From day 1 he helped me figure out what areas I needed strengthening and has given me exercises that I can work on as well as clear outcomes for each week. Just after a few weeks of lessons with him, I've noticed big improvements in my playing as well as felt more confident!

In this day and age with the infinite number of resources on the internet to learn music, private lessons better be well worth your time and money, and let me tell you, Val's lessons are indeed well worth it. From the get go, Val was able to pick up on what musical knowledge I had already and where my strengths and weaknesses lie. Every lesson is truly tailored to me.

We are so thankful we found Valery! My son took a sudden interest in playing our piano and because he is only 5 years old, I knew I had to do some quick and thorough research for an instructor who could successfully teach a student so young. After reading countless positive reviews, we didn't hesitate to take a chance on him and we are more than thrilled that we did!

As a musician and music educator myself, I was very particular when it came to finding a piano teacher for my 9-year-old daughter.  Valery has exceeded my expectations. He is the perfect combination of being kind and patient as well as being strict and setting high expectations. Valery is also keen to see my daughter's individual strengths and help inspire her to develop them.

Annie L.

I went to Val in hopes of learning the piano in my 20s. I've never played an instrument before but I wanted to give it a try. Val asked what my goals were which truly helped him design lessons for me. He broke everything down in ways I could understand and has turned my hesitation into confidence that with practice I can take this skill wherever I want it to go! 100% recommend taking lessons with him at ANY age!
