Testimonials

"My daughter started playing the piano at age 7 (she's 14 now), she had had 2 different teachers when we found out about Tatsiana. It was a big upgrade in teaching as well as professionalism. My daughter's music theory as well as technique has skyrocketed so quickly. My child has achieved a level that I know is due in large part to Tatsiana's belief that every student can succeed if they're willing to do the work. She's organized in her lessons so each student gets a tailored education, she spends countless hours researching music pieces for each students level and personality. She doesn't move quickly through music pieces, she makes sure the student has fully learned the technique required. She puts a lot of effort in creating a personal relationship with her students, after three years with Tatsiana I would say my favorite quality is how invested she becomes with each of her students. Without hesitation she continually goes far and beyond to help her students succeed, I truly feel she is a high quality investment and worth every penny and our time.

My daughters favorite thing is that Tatsiana introduced her to the competition side of music (her other teachers never exposed her), it brought a wave of motivation to work harder that sometimes declines after years of lessons. Because of Tatsiana, my child has completed the ABRSM exams in level 1 (earned an invitation to play in the "Global High Scores Concert") and 2 with a near perfect score in both theory and performance and she recently received 1st place in division 2 in a sonatina festival. Tatsiana was relentless when she convinced our local PBS Student Showcase to interview my child on her success and future in music. My only regret is not finding out about her sooner so I gladly tell everyone I meet that Tatsiana is the Rolls-Royce of piano teachers!"

We are incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful piano teacher for our four children! From the very first lesson, it was clear that she sets high expectations, which has motivated my kids to strive for excellence in their musical journey. Her kind and loving approach creates a nurturing environment where they feel encouraged and supported.
My kids don't complain about attending their lessons, and I can see their progress each week. They are not only learning to read music and play correctly, but they are also developing a strong foundation that will help them avoid bad habits in the future. I am so grateful to have a teacher who truly cares about her students and is dedicated to helping them grow. Her balance of discipline and compassion is perfect, and I couldn't ask for a better guide for my children's musical education. Thank you for all that you do!

"Thank you Tatsiana for all that you have poured into our son. Not only has learned how to play the piano but he has also developed a great appreciation for beautiful music. You have a real gift for teaching and making lessons enjoyable for your students. We love how you incorporate all facets of music instruction and are able to keep our son focused whether it be during music theory, sight reading or scales. We have found great joy watching him progress in his piano playing abilities, your enthusiasm has sparked a desire for him to create and compose his own pieces.
You have been a great blessing to our family!"

"We have been so impressed with Tatsiana's dedication to her students and their musical success. Over the past five years, she taught our son to read and play music with fluency, encouraged him to do things outside of his comfort zone (recitals and competitions!) and helped to instill a confidence and pride of his musical abilities. We are so thankful for all that he has learned in the years he has taken lessons with Tatsiana!

Tatsiana started teaching my son piano a little over a year ago, who was a brand new student to the instrument. From the beginning, Tatsiana was wonderful to work with. She has a unique combination of professionalism, passion, and being a natural teacher. When I first reached out, we were put on a waiting list, as she's much in demand. But she spent a good portion chatting with me on Dean (my son), what our schedule needs were, and even invited Dean to an upcoming recital to see her students play. Tatsiana even helped advise us which piano would be best to get Dean and the pros & cons of an upright piano vs. a keyboard piano. She was welcoming and helpful even before we were official students! Dean has loved his lessons with Tatsiana from the first day. She's infinitely patient and yet holds high expectations for her students, which makes them strive to meet them. She balances hard work with sincere praise and motivation. It's clear that she's as passionate about teaching as she is about music and her love of the piano is shared with her students; the student's feel valued for their own musical skills. Tatsiana continually builds trust with her students and prioritizes a good relationship with them. As a parent, I appreciate her organization and communication, whether it's on scheduling, expectations and upcoming needs (e.g. new piano books needed). Dean has thrived under her tutelage, both musically but also in responsibility. Tatsiana is a true blessing for our family and we're grateful for her sharing her time and talents with us!

“Tatsiana is an excellent teacher. My 7 year old began taking with her and I cannot believe how much she has learned and progressed in 5 months! I love that Tatsiana makes sure that young pianists understand the fundamentals of theory and good technique AND also makes it fun. My daughter loves practicing and playing now. I can’t thank her enough.”
Thank you again, we are so glad we found you!

"I came to Tatsiana Asheichyk with some trepidation. I am in my late forties and was fearful that I had come crossed the threshold of "too old to learn playing the piano". While learning and/or playing the piano is not something that comes naturally to me, Tatsiana's patient and kind manner of teaching has allowed me to persevere. I am now in my third year of piano lessons. I enjoy learning, particularly since Tatsiana tailors the piano lessons for adults."

"Tatsiana is a top-notch and talented professional. It has been a wonderful experience having her as our son's piano instructor. His progress has soared under her guidance."

"Tatsiana is amazing. I have seen what she is able to accomplish with my cousin Lily and my daughter Ruthie. Whenever I hear these girls play, my mind is blown. They are each proficient at reading music as well as knowing when to play loud vs soft and fast vs slow. Their piano playing is beautiful, sometimes I can’t believe it’s actually them making the music. Tatsiana is a professional when it comes to her standards and expectations, but what makes her special is her ability to also know her client. She knows when to push harder and when to slow down and soften up. I appreciate what Tatsiana has done for these girls in my family. Learning to play piano has taught them so much more than just the music. You will not be disappointed if you have Tatsiana teach piano to your child."

"My 8-year old daughter has been taking piano lessons with Tatsiana for the last two years, and we could not be happier.  She's learned so much!  Not only does Tatsiana work with her on how to read and play music, but she also works with our daughter on ear-training, which I wish I had done as a kid.  Aside from being a very capable teacher, Tatsiana is also very accommodating.  Last spring, my daughter wanted to learn to play the theme music to a video game that she had been playing over the summer, so we found the music and brought it to one of her lessons.  Video game theme music, clearly, is not part of any standard piano music repertoire, but Tatsiana was totally fine with it and, over the course of a few months, helped our daughter learn every note.  And Tatsiana now regularly asks that our daughter find music that she wants to learn, which helps keep her interested.  Tatsiana's also gotten to know my daughter quite well.  When I was excited at the prospect of purchasing a set lesson books that advanced more quickly than the previous set in order to push my daughter along, Tatsiana delicately suggested that we move my daughter along slowly for the time being, because she observed my daughter getting frustrated easily when she didn't learn something right away.  "Oh!  You're absolutely right!  Heh, I should have thought of that..."
What does my daughter think?  She says that Tatsiana is "very good with correction," which apparently means that "she does it very nicely."  My daughter always smiles after a piano lesson with Tatsiana--and not because it's over, but because she's enjoyed it.  Thanks, Tatsiana!"

"Tatsiana has been been my daughter's piano teacher for almost a year now and we absolutely love her! My daughter's piano skills have improved tremendously since she is her teacher. I would highly recommend her to anyone!"

"Tatsiana is an amazing pianist who is a dedicated teacher and passionate about sharing her wealth of knowledge to help her students reach their goals. "

"Tatsiana is a great combination of a fine and Exemplary musician herself and a great teacher to her students. Our daughter was a basic pianist when we first approached Tatsiana to train her. Under her tutelage, over 2 years she has advanced her skills as a pianist to the point that she won a competition and scored distinction points in her ABRSM grade 1 exam. We are extremely grateful to have found someone as qualified, driven, and involved as Tatsiana to teach our daughter. As a teacher, she fully understands the potential of her pupils and the need to push them to attain excellence."

"...Undoubtedly, she was among the very top students of our institution, she is a very gifted, very reliable, and  she was determined and responsible student, who demonstrated remarkable progress, intelligence and enthusiasm. She was a great asset to our school. Tatsiana never fails to bring her best to every performance. She thrives on success and is determined to become the best pianist that she can be...”
