Bellevue Studio
A Comprehensive Music Education
Private Piano Lessons
The piano is a glorious instrument and has a unique place in the world of music. As such, pianists play a vital and important role wherever music is played, and pianists enjoy the versatility of being able to play anything from the most simple tone to a whole orchestra part on the instrument. Furthermore, research shows that learning to play the piano has many benefits including mental fitness, executive function, coordination, and boost in creativity and confidence. Our private students make a longterm commitment for this endeavor. Students enrolled in private lessons through the Bellevue studio meet for 45-60 minutes of lessons per week from September to June.

Teaching Philosophy
Kristina believes in a comprehensive yet personal approach to piano lessons. In addition to learning repertoire, students study and experience improvisation, technique, ear training, applied theory, arranging, and composing. Students are coached in both their strengths as well as their weaknesses, and through it find and express their own musical voice and perspectives.
Composition
A major part of our studio culture is the emphasis on composition. Contrary to traditional thought that only those who are born with extraordinary skills were set to become composers, Kristina believes that all musicians should have the opportunity to create music using their own voice. All students taking piano lessons with Kristina are encouraged to compose, and experience the compositional process, skills, and tools.
