“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.’’

“It has been a pleasure learning piano from Tania Haralampieva for the past eight years. Her patience and kindness make it easier for students to follow along with her teaching and enjoy the classes. During COVID-19, Tania provided online classes which were very convenient and allowed me to continue playing without impending my piano journey. I am grateful to have had such a wonderful teacher!”

“Kosta Haralampiev has been the piano instructor for both of my boys for the past seven years. Additionally, I have started taking guitar lessons with him for the past four years. Kosta is prompt and on time to all the lessons. His style is very down-to-earth and flexible, adapting his teaching to each one of us individually. Under Kosta’s guidance we all improved not just in play skills but also in formal music understanding. Kosta pushes us to overcome our difficulties but with a pleasant attitude. Every year Kosta organizes three concerts where the students present to an audience - the experience of playing publically is invaluable! It is with great pleasure for me recommend Kosta to any adult or child wishing to learn piano or guitar. ”

“I was a student of Kosta Haralampiev for about six years. I had been taking piano lessons prior from when I was 6 years old up until I started middle school at age 11. For those five previous years, I had switched between many piano teachers and no matter who I had, I still felt like I was behind on my skills. I also felt that I wasn’t being recognized for my potential, which frustrated me to the point where I had wanted to quit. However, when Kosta became my teacher, I saw a difference even after my first lesson with him. He is the type of teacher who will assess HOW you want to be taught by asking what your goals are, rather than just teaching the same methods to every student. His teaching style is consistent in terms of technique but also unique to every student, and he truly does care about each and every one of his students. Throughout the 6 years I spent with Kosta, I learned to love the piano again and I didn’t feel like practicing was a chore. It became a part of my identity, and Kosta truly played a big role in helping me navigate my passion for the instrument.”
