We offer one-on-one lessons taught by our professional, highly educated, and experienced pedagogues, who strive to make lessons informative, efficient, and engaging. Our primary goal is to enrich our students' lives with the magic of music and ensure their instrumental and vocal instruction is effective. It's important to us that our students come to and leave their lessons with a smile. We believe in a balanced, open learning and teaching relationship. With our young music students, we collaborate closely with their parents to ensure they have the support they need to grow and enjoy playing their instruments, in whatever style they choose.

With over twenty years of teaching experience, she enjoys working with students of all ages, from young children to college students and adults. Elena was born into a musical family. Her teacher in Russia, who introduced young students to the rich history of music, art, and culture, played a significant role in inspiring her to become a professional pianist and teacher. After continuing her studies in the USA with notable teachers, she embarked on a personal journey and in-depth research into the physiology of piano playing, injury prevention, and the Russian/Eastern European School of Piano Playing. In her private studio, Dr. Nezhdanova uses the "Tales of a Musical Journey" curriculum created by Irina Gorin, which has been translated into 14 different languages worldwide. She aims to create a fun and engaging learning environment where students can develop their music appreciation and skills without feeling intimidated by rigid instructions.

Dr. Roman Placzek is a Czech-American cellist whose professional experience embodies the best of Eastern and Central European music education, enriched by valuable graduate diplomas and a terminal degree from North American conservatories and universities. In his studio, Dr. Placzek uses his method, The Physiology of the Cello Playing, known as the BumbleBee Method, which allows him to tailor the speed and load of studied material to every student while guaranteeing steady and healthy progress. His teaching is based on expert knowledge of the correct physiological habits necessary to successfully learn the art of cello playing for both future amateurs and top-level professional cellists. His former students are excellent professionals in other than music fields who never lost the love for their instrument, as well as sought-after professional cellists with degrees from prestigious music schools enriching our lives as cello teachers, chamber musicians, soloists, and members of ensembles and orchestras. Students love Dr. Roman's fun and friendly teaching style and his studio's light yet efficient atmosphere. They admire the instrumental artistry he uses to support and inspire but never intimidate. For this, he earned a loving nickname he forever cherishes 'Ro-Ro Man.'
