Kennedy Piano Studio, Scarborough Reviews (6)
I've been taking violin lessons here since last September. I did not know it can be that much fun. While being patient and encouraging teacher, my violin teacher Sophia pays close attention to positions and intonation, and correct them to make sure I build good playing habits. In addition to that, she explains music theory & background of the pieces. In terms of the teaching materials, she used a combination of scales, etudes and pieces from the Suzuki books for me. I think it's a good balance for building foundation, practicing techniques and enjoying good pieces of music. I definitely recommend her for anyone who's looking to learn violin, either as a beginner, or as an experienced player!
My son has been taking violin lessons with since 2018 at Kennedy Piano Studio, for both in person and online lessons. I am very happy with my son's progress. Sophia patiently works to improve the sound and technique using fun games and stories that my son adores.
Lana has been teaching my two daughters piano since 2012. Lana has helped both my children achieve excellent progress during this time. She was instrumental in finding an alternative path when my older daughter started to show lack of interest in the more traditional curriculum of Suzuki's program at the Royal Conservatory, suggesting to move to a Contemporary program at Conservatory Canada. My daughter has now completed, with excellent grades, up to level 4 (all above 84%). She is currently working towards level 5, and she is more motivated and interested in piano than she has ever been. During her classes, Lana has always shown generous amounts of patience, commitment and professionalism, yet also fun. I can often hear my younger daughter laughing as if she is playing with a friend, yet her results from her tests at the Royal Conservatory classical program have been extraordinarily high (90 and 87%). We are immensely thankful to Lana for all her help during all these years as she is a fantastic piano teacher.
Lana is very rude and arrogant. Piano should be fun and engaging. She takes it way too seriously leaving students in tears. Find another teacher!
Lana Tchernaia embodies all the qualities that define an ideal piano teacher. Not only is she extremely talented, her endless jokes and unique personality is what separates her from all of my former teachers. I really admire her, not only as a piano teacher, but also as a person. Her down-to-earth personality always makes it easy for me to talk to her and her welcoming smile is a plus. Lana’s strict nature also demonstrates her ability to adapt to various situations, as well as portrays her values of hard work and commitment.
Lana Tchernaia at Kennedy Piano Studio is a passionate and knowledgeable teacher. She is sensitive to the needs of her students and goes above and beyond for all her students. She is a colleague one can count on and is always there with helpful advices.
