About Alisa

My experience in education is broad and varied, it has shaped me into a empathetic and attentive teacher with a solid methodological foundation. I’m great at connecting with people of all ages, making them feel comfortable and trust me on the lessons. I prioritize keeping students motivated, helping them through rough patches, and encouraging them not to give up. Kids and teens have described me as a safe adult who’s easy to be around, while adults appreciate the care and support I provide, making learning accessible.

My education:
- Novokuznetsk College of Arts, Russia (2014), specializing in piano performance.
- Moscow State Pedagogical University (2015-2020). Bachelor of Music and Education.
- I attended masterclasses by professors from Romania and Detroit, MI conservatories as part of the XI International Music Festival in Oravita, Romania (August 2018).
- Attended Penelope Roskell’s (Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance) online course ‘Teaching Healthy, Expressive Piano Technique’ (2024).
- Attended Berklee’s online courses: ‘Musicianship: Tensions, Harmonic Function, and Modal Interchange’ (2024), and ‘Piano Techniques for Modern Music’ (2024).

19 years of academic education might seem like enough to teach, but I keep up with self-learning, adding to my knowledge with courses, refining my methods in line with new research, educational trends, and my students' changing needs.

About the lesson

My teaching methods:
-my goal is to give you the tools to reach your piano goals quickly and confidently, so you can eventually build your own practice routine;
-I focus on physical comfort, helping you develop relaxed but strong hands. We work on customized exercises with different movement patterns that might come up in repertoire. I identify tension points to make playing easier and more natural;
-music theory is essential, but we approach it in a practical way—through exercises, songs, and even improvisation (yes, even if you’ve never tried it before);
-your repertoire is based on your interests from day one, adapted to your level. I’m happy to take your suggestions or recommend pieces for you; -you can learn on any instrument—a MIDI keyboard, digital or acoustic piano. If you need help choosing one, I’m happy to assist;
-I use Miro, Notion, and training apps to help organize lessons, review material, and make learning more interactive and efficient. Typical lesson plan includes warm-up, working on technique, a little of music theory. The rest depends on student's goals: it could be classical repertoire, songs or improvisation, working on composing.

My lessons for those, who:
- want to master the instrument from scratch;
- learned a long time ago and are giving themselves a second chance;
- are looking to improve their skills and organize their knowledge;
- already writing their own music but seeking more variety, depth, and a stronger theoretical foundation;
- feeling unsure of themselves, needing support, attention, and non-judgmental feedback.
*I know how tough and scary learning can be. I’ll do my best to be a support on this challenging journey, making it about joy, discovery, and pride in yourself!*

Perfect! I'm so happy I found Alisa! She's not only a super talented and artistic pianist, but also one of the most easygoing and friendly teachers I've ever met. Her lessons are relaxed, fun, and somehow fly by so quickly!

What I love is that she doesn’t just teach you which keys to press — she actually explains the melody, rhythm, and all the little details that make the music come alive. You feel like you're really learning, not just memorizing.

I highly recommend her — both as a teacher and as a true professional artist!

Alisa's response
Anastasiia is eager to learn, motivated, full of energy and curiosity! She has good skills of sight reading, muscle memory and emotional connection with music. She is able to choose a repertoire by her own, work with note sheets, correctly read notes and rhythm. I really glad that we met each other, it's pure pleasure to work together on great music pieces!

I have attended offline piano lessons with Alisa for several months in Tbilisi. Alisa is an uncommon teacher in the music world: she is extremely open-minded, never saying no to any idea a student has to suggest, while implementing something new to each lesson herself. She is a professional and thus can actively support and help her students with their personal requests, tailoring the material to their needs. Alisa has a vast theoretical knowledge, which allows her to explain in deep detail the laws of music making and harmonies, alongside with practice. I highly recommend Alisa as a kind, understanding and fun teacher, who will make piano lessons the highlight of your week.
