Piano Lesson Testimonials

“Karina was an incredibly special part of my daughter’s musical journey. She started lessons with Karina at just 4½ years old and continued for over 12 years. Karina was always kind, patient, encouraging, and incredibly talented.

Her teaching helped my daughter develop a true love for piano and music. She went on to graduate from Berklee College of Music and earn her Master’s in Music from USC.

We are so grateful for the many years of guidance and encouragement Karina provided. She is a wonderful teacher for students of all ages and skill levels!”

“Karina Gordievich is an exceptional piano teacher who has made my dream of taking piano lessons after retirement a reality.

During a chance meeting at Costco, a friend recommended Karina to me. Her daughter was playing on a display piano, and our conversation led her to introduce me to Karina. I was thrilled to learn that Karina and I live just a few miles apart.

Karina’s teaching style is remarkable. She instills skill and confidence in her students and makes playing piano enjoyable and engaging. She teaches with enthusiasm, patience, knowledge, and professionalism. Karina tailors each lesson to the student’s learning style, balancing proper technique and music theory with pieces that keep the student excited to learn, from classical music to modern and contemporary music.

I particularly enjoyed doing piano duets with Karina in a studio setting and during group recitals.

Karina is an exceptionally wonderful and excellent piano teacher who is also a genuine friend. I highly recommend her as a piano teacher who will make your piano learning experience enjoyable and valuable.”

“I have been bringing my son to Karina at Concert Piano Studios for a couple of years now and we love her. My son was 8 when he started, he’s 10 now, and she has always been so warm, patient, and personable. She does a wonderful job of working through the books as well as incorporating opportunities for him to learn songs of his choice to keep it fun and interesting… which can sometimes be hard, especially for the younger ones. All in all, she is a real joy and I am so happy we found her!”

“Karina has been teaching our two teens piano for the last several years. She is an excellent pianist and well educated with a wealth of knowledge to share with students. We love her teaching style and all of the tips that she has given them as they learn and practice. What we love most about Karina is the care she has for her students and desire she has for each of them to succeed in music and in life. She has our highest recommendations.”

“I have been a professional flutist with a degree in music education and have taught classroom music from kindergarten through adulthood in the school, church, and adult education settings in both choral and instrumental music.

About 15 years ago when I wanted to continue my piano studies, I was fortunate to find a genuinely kind, flexible, and personable highly educated, well-accomplished pianist and teacher who is attuned to a student’s needs. Karina’s teaching inspires inquisitiveness and striving in an atmosphere of safety. She is a gem that we in the Puget Sound area are lucky to have discovered!”

“I have taken piano lessons with Karina for many years. I enjoy learning new things and enjoy music. I have found Karina to be knowledgeable and creative in her teaching methods. I appreciate her time and consistent relevant feedback on my techniques. I drive around 40 minutes each way to go to my lessons and find it well worth my time. I have also talked to people in the community that have taken lessons from her in the past and they all appreciate her teaching methods and time. I look forward to my lessons and try to practice every day and I found a great teacher in Karina.”
