Lezhnev Piano Studio

My piano lessons with Hiroko are thoroughly enjoyable. She has a highly concentrated and compassionate approach that strikes a balance between challenging me and refining my piano skills. Hiroko personalizes her lessons according to one's unique capabilities while demonstrating remarkable flexibility and attentiveness to one's learning requirements, which I deeply value.

For almost two years now, Hiroko has been instructing our 14-year-old son again, following a lengthy five-year hiatus. While we believed it would be a fresh start, Hiroko skillfully coaxed out his underdeveloped and out-of-practice abilities from when he was 8 or 9 years old and efficiently brought him back up to pace. In anticipation of our son's participation in a school talent show as a pianist, Hiroko was instrumental in preparing him, increasing his lesson frequency to provide additional guidance and polish his presentation, resulting in an amazing performance.

Ms. Hiroko is an exceptional piano teacher! It has been an absolute pleasure to receive piano lessons from her. Her teaching methodology is perfectly tailored to suit your needs and preferences, and she excels at fine-tuning each lesson to perfection. She is committed to providing you with all the necessary support and guidance to enhance your piano skills and appreciation. As a former skeptic of piano teachers, I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Hiroko's services!

Around a year ago, my teenage daughter commenced lessons with Ms. Hiroko after her previous teacher stopped teaching during the pandemic's early days. Discovering Ms. Hiroko was a relief for us; she is an outstanding teacher who genuinely cares about her students' growth, is thoughtful and kind-hearted. Over the past year, we have navigated the pandemic's highs and lows, experiencing surges of Delta and Omicron, yet Ms. Hiroko remained cheerful, respectful, flexible, and patient while discovering suitable music for my budding artist. She continuously teaches with her mask on and swiftly changed between in-person and virtual lessons when it was crucial. My daughter was delighted with Ms. Hiroko's teaching, and she even convinced her friend to join the studio earlier on. Both of them enjoyed their lessons and recently presented a beautiful recital with other students at the Lyceum, which was incredibly well-prepared. If you're searching for a piano teacher in the Arlington/Falls Church area, Ms. Hiroko comes highly recommended. Thank you, Hiroko-san!

Hiroko is a remarkable piano instructor. I had the privilege of learning and playing the piano when I was young, but it was not until recently, after almost 25 years of not playing, that I was drawn to it again. Through CrackerJack, I fortunately stumbled upon Hiroko, and I cannot express enough how she has reignited my passion and adoration for the piano. To my amazement, Hiroko has revived my nearly forgotten skills and brought them back to where they once were. Over the last six months, we have explored Mozart sonatas and delved into the brilliance of Bach and other classic composers. Hiroko is more than just a piano teacher; she has become my musical therapist. At the end of each lesson, I feel a sense of tranquility and joy because of the progress we make, the harmonies we play, and the instruction in theory and interpretation of various pieces. To those who cherish music, you know how extraordinary it is to find someone with whom you can connect and create music together. Hiroko is something of a treasure.
