My son feels very comfortable and he keeps learning and loving piano and music.
Cynthia Russakoff is fantastic. My children have been taking lessons from her for years and I am always amazed at how quickly they progress and how their understanding of the music grows. She also genuinely cares for her students. I cannot say enough positive things!

"Cynthia Russakoff is great. She is thorough, patient and has fun with the kids. She teaches every level and gave my daughter the encouragement she needed as a beginner." Kelli P. July 9, 2015
"I am very pleased with the level of professionalism, patience, and teaching methods of Cynthia Russakoff. I feel that my daughter (8 yrs.) has established a wonderful foundation, and moreover, a love for piano. The schedules, times, additional activities and incentives provided a sense of accountability, challenge, and interest in my child. I am very excited about her next year to unfold as she is propelled to the next level of learning, dedication, and overall advancement musically.
A special thank you to Ms. Russakoff for a wonderful year!!" Angel O. July 8, 2015
"Mrs. Cynthia is an excellent music teacher. My 7 year old has taken classes now for the past few years with significant progress. She is wonderful with children and has a disciplined approach that achieves tangible results. There is a good balance between having fun yet being able to have your child focus on the task at hand. I would highly recommend Mrs. Cynthia as a music teacher for any parent that's looking for an activity that is both fun but also enriching to your child as an individual. There are lessons learned in music class that also translate into better focus in school and resulting in higher performance of your child in the classroom. I hope my review was helpful to whomever is trying to make a decision on a music teacher." Ian B. June 3, 2015
"Mrs. Russakoff taught all 3 of our children to play the piano and we will always think of her as such a positive influence in their lives. Weekly lessons were always fun! The children felt encouraged, motivated and rewarded, and they learned and succeeded. As piano teachers go, you can't do better!!" Sandra S. July 24, 2014
"Cynthia is a wonderful piano teacher. I love that she provides music theory to the students as well as traditional note playing. I'm amazed at how far my children have come in the short time they have been taking lessons. While learning piano came very easy to my daughter, my son was struggling. Ms. Russakoff was in constant contact with offering suggestions on how to better get him to succeed all the while trying to boost his self esteem. I can't say enough about the quality and dedicated piano teacher!" Beth M. March 14, 2014
"Mrs Russakoff proved to be a brilliant, flexible and challenging (in the best sense) teacher for our children. As parents of talented but occasionally less than motivated offspring, we were more than pleased to discover a teacher with patience, care and sufficient skills as a tutor to lead and inspire. Moreover, we are UK expats, and, as such, we came with hopes of finding a music teacher prepared to consider the curriculum of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. This is a widely recognized program (in Britain & Europe) combining practical as well as theoretical aspects of music, leading students through both sides in a coordinated system of study. Mrs Russakoff not only agreed to teach our children within this unfamiliar context, she did so with interest, enthusiasm and success (i.e. numerous successes with written and performed pieces for examination). We recommend the Russakoff studio Appassionato Deciso!!"
