I came to Darya with absolutely zero experience in singing and a lot of shyness about my own voice. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient and encouraging, which helped me feel comfortable right away. She was also very flexible with scheduling, which made it easy to stay consistent with lessons.

One of the things I appreciated most was that she let me choose the songs I wanted to practice with, and she would even adjust the tonality to fit my range, making the learning process both fun and approachable. Along the way, she also introduced me to music theory, which gave me a deeper understanding of what I was singing and how to improve.

Thanks to Darya’s guidance, I’ve grown so much—I’m now a much more confident singer, and I’ve learned how to control my voice in ways I never thought I could. I’m truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to start their singing journey or take their voice to the next level.

I took weekly piano and singing lessons with Dasha, and she’s an amazing teacher! She’s very responsible, always had something new to teach, and made every lesson fun. When I was a kid, I used to sing Sakha folk songs, and Dasha introduced me to classical music, which was a whole new experience for me. It’s actually different muscle work, and hard to switch from “throat” singing to pushing to your “forehead” (Sorry for my very simple explanation).

One of my favorite memories was filming three songs together for Christmas with her piano accompaniment, and later performing at her birthday party. This part was a great idea: you learn and then perform (for yourself or maybe a family); it keeps you motivated. Her teaching style is so engaging and entertaining. I loved playing the piano and learned a lot. I highly recommend her!

Singing lessons with Dasha were both satisfying and effective at strengthening my voice. I had a lot of fun practicing singing exercises, vocalises, and duets. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their singing skills!

Darya has been working with our family since 2020, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has a wonderful ability to individualize lessons, constantly adapting them to my children’s needs and interests. Her teaching was both warm and challenging, filled with genuine love for music and for my children.

What stood out most was that Darya never rushed for quick results or speed of learning. Instead, she focused on cultivating a true love for the piano and for music itself. Because of this approach, my children often played on their own without being asked, proudly sought out sheet music for their favorite songs, and even tried teaching themselves how to play new pieces. They developed a passion for practicing and remain excited about advancing to the next level.

Thanks to Darya’s dedication and thoughtful guidance, my children developed both skill and a lasting passion for the piano. I deeply appreciate the love of music she has planted in them, and I wholeheartedly recommend Darya for anyone seeking private piano lessons.

My son loved taking lessons with Darya. She is very patient and encouraging. He is always so proud to play his favorite songs in front of our family, especially around the holidays. Can’t praise her enough.
