Music without limits
Every child has a talent. My job is to find the key to it, using methods that turn learning into joy, therapy and growth.
“Music is the language the soul speaks when words fall short.”
Adaptive learning
Learning the instrument through specialized methods. We adapt music reading and hand position using a color system and simplified fingering.
Music therapy
Based on the Orff approach. Music becomes a tool for developing speech, motor skills and emotional intelligence, with a focus on rhythm and stress relief.
Special education
Lessons that help compensate for developmental differences, working on movement coordination, auditory perception and concentration.
Inclusive approach
A barrier-free environment. The program adapts to each student’s abilities and brings out their unique potential at a comfortable pace.
Play the grand piano
Rotate it, open the lid, press the keys and pedals — with the sound of a real concert grand.
Drag to rotate · Ctrl + wheel to zoom · click keys and pedals · play from your keyboard (A S D F G H J, black keys W E T Y U) · Space is the sustain pedal
Pedals, left to right: una corda (soft), sostenuto, sustain (longer notes).

What students say
“Dana found a way to connect with my son from the very first lesson. Music practice used to be a constant “I don’t want to,” and now he runs to the piano on his own. The Orff method works wonders — he has even become more focused at school.”
Translated from Russian · Show original
«Дана нашла подход к моему сыну с первого урока. Раньше занятия музыкой были через 'не хочу', а теперь он сам бежит к инструменту. Методика Орф творит чудеса — ребенок стал более усидчивым и в школе.»
“I always dreamed of playing Ludovico Einaudi but thought 30 was too late to start. Dana proved me wrong. No tedious drilling — straight to playing. Two months later I was already playing “Experience.””
Translated from Russian · Show original
«Всегда мечтал сыграть Людовико Эйнауди, но думал, что в 30 лет поздно начинать. Дана доказала обратное. Без нудной зубрежки, сразу к практике. Через 2 месяца я уже играл 'Experience'.»
“I prepared with Dana for my conservatory entrance exams. Truly top-level professionalism: we worked on technique and on stage fright. I got in with a tuition-free state grant!”
Translated from Russian · Show original
«Готовилась с Даной к поступлению в консерваторию. Профессионализм на высшем уровне: разобрали технику, поработали над сценическим волнением. Я поступила на грант!»

One-on-one lessons
I teach online, so you can study with me from any country — all you need is a video call. If you live in Astana, I can also come to your home (Yesil district, Left Bank and other areas). Either way, you save time and learn in a familiar setting.
Trial lesson — 3 000 ₸
The exact lesson price within this range depends on the programme and format: online, at home or in the studio.

Frequently asked questions
Don't see your question? Message me on WhatsApp and I'll answer personally.
Ask a questionYes. Lessons take place over video call, so you can study from anywhere. When you request a trial lesson, I'll find a time that works for your time zone.
You don't need an acoustic piano to get started. To practice regularly and make progress, though, you will need an instrument at home. At first, a good digital piano with a weighted keyboard that mimics the action of a real piano will do — for example, a Yamaha P-45 or Casio CDP-S110.
I teach children from age 5 and adults of any age. For the youngest students I use a play-based approach, and adults play their first beautiful melodies in the very first lesson.
Absolutely. Adults learn deliberately and often grasp theory faster than children. Some of my students started at 30, 45, and even 60, and now play the pieces they love.
Online lessons take place over video call (Zoom or Skype) using several cameras. You see a close-up of my hands, and I can see and hear you play. It's just as effective as lessons in person, and you don't spend time commuting.
