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

“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!

Wayne Leung: Piano – Irina

Two years ago, I disliked classical music and only wanted to play pop. Then I met Irina, and her lessons changed everything. After an 8-year break, I decided to take on ABRSM Grade 8, despite my rusty skills - proof that it’s never too late to try again. Now, I’ve earned my diploma and rediscovered my love for classical music, and my playlist is filled with Chopin, Liszt, and 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!

We highly recommend Irina and her team for their excellent piano teaching. She has a wonderful approach with young children, bringing great energy and enthusiasm to every lesson. We especially enjoyed the end-of-year concert, where students had the chance to shine and showcase their progress. The event was well-organized and a great reflection of Irina’s dedication and impact on her students.
