“Throughout my thirteen years being taught by Mr. Kosta Haralampiev, I have learned the value of having a deep understanding and knowledge of music in one’s life. The skills required for learning the piano can be applied to every aspect of life, from the diligence required to practice, to the appreciation of the complexity of music. Music is an unavoidable part of life and gaining musical education opens up one’s mind to endless possibilities and opportunities. I can say with confidence that Mr. Kosta’s teachings have made me excel, not just musically, but academically. The piano is something that will stay with me forever and I am a better person because of it. There is something very special about coming across a public piano, sitting down, and having people enjoy what you play.”

“I have been taking lessons with Ms. Tania Haralampieva for eight years. When I first started, I took classes in person, where she taught me all the fundamentals of playing and understanding the piano. I made my switch to online lessons during the global pandemic. At first, we were concerned because it was a completely different format. I soon realized that I could not get away with any mistakes because Ms. Tania could catch them even better online. Once the pandemic ended, my family and I moved to California, and I continued to take online piano lessons. She is tough but kind and pushes me to be better. She can always catch a mistake, whether the wrong note or a timing issue, and she always helps me fix them with patience and precision.’’

“Tania Haralampieva is a wonderful teacher. During my time learning with her, she adjusted the coursework according to what I was interested in and what level I am at. She made more interested in playing the piano.”
