Very pleased to recommend Irina and team for her work, teaching piano. She has a nice approach with young children and great energy. We particularly enjoyed the end of year concert which gave the children a chance to shine and show their ability. 

“My son, Nicholas was 6 years young when he started piano lessons with Irina. Going into his 3rd year, Nicky continues to gain confidence in playing the piano. Irina keeps a positive, enjoyable atmosphere for teaching. Not only does Irina teach different songs, in addition, she also teaches the important piano theory. And the mini concerts that Irina organizes, is a great way to showcase the students’ talents to family & friends, and let them be a performing Star for the day! Two thumbs up 

I absolutely loved my classes with Irina! Her teaching combines a solid theoretical foundation with an easy, fun approach. I hadn’t played piano since childhood, but with her support, I quickly refreshed my basics and progressed to playing lovely tunes. Most importantly, I truly enjoy every class and look forward to them each day! Irina even makes the “boring” theory simple and enjoyable. I highly recommend Irina’s school to everyone - you’ll love it!

I would say Irina is a wonderful teacher. My boy didn’t like music too much before and he was shy to give a performance. Under Irina's coaching, he enjoys playing piano and gains lots of confidence in performance. Irina is not just my child's piano teacher, but also our friend. My family is always invited to her music party, where we made friends with lots of music experts and little music players as well. It was a cozy community. So here in DMA, you can experience more than just the beauty of music. Virginia, Eugene’s Mom

Two years ago, I hated classical music and only wanted to play pop. Then I met Irina. Initially, I just wanted to learn a few pop songs, but her lessons opened my eyes to the beauty of classical music. Eight years after quitting at grade 7, I decided to tackle ABRSM grade 8, despite my rusty skills and weak foundation.

Now, two years later, I’ve earned my grade 8 diploma - proof that it’s never too late to try again. Thanks to Irina, I’ve rekindled my love for classical music, and my playlist is now filled with Chopin, Liszt, and even Bach!

I have joined Dechant Music Academy in 2015. Lessons with Irina are not only very efficient but also full of fun. I have learned a lot of new compositions; have improved my general knowledge about classical music. Every lesson we practice scales, which has significantly improved my skills. I believe that Dechant Music Academy provides with well-structured lessons, positive attitude and professional approach. Thank you!
