Testimonial:  Students Testimonials As a parent of one of Ms. Raisa's students, I believe that she is one of the best piano teachers my daughter has studied with. Her piano skills clearly demonstrate her superior knowledge of music! Leping W., Snellville, GA Our daughter took piano lessons for 5 years prior to beginning lessons with Ms. Raisa two years ago. We are amazed at the growth she has demonstrated during these 2 years. Not only has Ms. Raisa helped her to continue to improve her piano technique, but she also stresses to our 12 year old the importance of emotion and meaning behind the music. It has brought a whole new level of understanding and maturity to her performances. She has a long way to go still, but we believe Ms. Raisa is an excellent steward of her budding talent. Not only is Ms. Raisa a great piano teacher, she is an absolute amazing performer in her own right. Any opportunity to see her perform is a real treat! However, I believe the best compliment I can give Ms. Raisa is that she inspires our daughter. Regular piano practices occur with little parental prodding in our home and our daughter gets really excited about competitions and recitals. Thanks Ms. Raisa! Annette A. Alpharetta, GA Ms. Raisa is a wonderful piano teacher. Her way of teaching is very impressive and her skills are by far the best. Michelle W., student Snellville, GA My 2 children are eager to practice and have learned so much in a short period of time. We look forward to continuing our lessons for years to come! Anne F. - Alpharetta, Georgia My experiences with my piano instructor have been really beneficial especially in my technical areas. I have learned lots of information about many classical, and modern composers, the time they lived in, and the way their music is meant to be played. E. A. - Alpharetta, Georgia Learning a new skill later in life requires a trainer with patience, a great since of humor and the knowledge to answer all manner of questions. Raisa inspires, a thirst for more experience. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She requires that you learn not just put in the time. With Raisa as my music teacher a long and fulfilling relationship will develop. F. F. - Atlanta, Georgia I feel very fortunate to have found Raisa as a piano teacher. I am an advanced adult student who has played the piano for many years and studied with many teachers. I am truly convinced that Raisa is an exceptional teacher she has an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of the music including styles, historic context, technique, and of course, musicianship. And she conveys this knowledge effectively and often with a great sense of humor. She has shown me how to make difficult technical problems easier (I am playing pieces that I never thought I'd be able to play) and given me a greater understanding of how to analyze a piece of music always in a manner that makes the knowledge transferable to other pieces of music. What's most important to me, however, is that I feel that I am always being challenged to reach my personal best. She does not let me settle for just okay or just good, but encourages me to listen and work out those details in the music that separate the good from the artistic. Because of her, I believe I have really grown as a musician, and even though musically there is so much more for me to learn, each day I know that have achieved my best for the moment and that is a dream come true. D.B., Alpharetta, GA Ms. Raisa is a wonderful piano teacher. Her way of teaching is very impressive and her skills are by far the best. M. W., Snellville, GA Dr. Isaacs is a fantastic piano teacher. She has taken me from barely being able to play with two hands at the same time to playing Chopin Preludes from memory in a little over a year. She has a depth of knowledge that surpasses most of the professional music educators that I know. I highly recommend that you take lessons from this amazing music educator! J.T., Cumming, GA Dr. Isaacs is one of the greatest teachers in my life. She teaches me not only technical skills but also develop my knowledge about background of the compositions and interpretation of music. Since I started lessons with her my performance greatly improved. S.H., Japan
