We have been with Andrea for over three years, and the transformation in my daughters playing has been nothing short of tremendous. Beyond her technical growth as a pianist, Andrea has instilled a deep, genuine love for music. My daughter doesn't just play; she truly enjoys the process and has become incredibly diligent about her practice. What sets Andrea apart is that she teaches more than just notes on a pageshe has taught my daughter the joy of learning, the value of persistence, and a true passion for her instrument. We are truly grateful to her for opening up the world of music to our daughter. We couldnt ask for a more inspiring mentor.

My daughter has improved so much since taking lessons with Ms. Andrea! She really enjoys it and even practices on her own without being asked so that she can perform well at her next lesson.

We are so glad we found Ms. Marsavonian as our Daughter's piano teacher. Our daughter was taking piano classes for about 4 years as she was growing up elsewhere before we moved to this area and she has been the student of Ms. Marsavonian for over a year now - we can see tremendous improvement in her skill. I am no expert but I can see Ms. Marsavonian 's teaching style and technique really focuses on student mastering the music and instrument.
I have also noticed she encourages student not to give up but at the same time not hard on self while practicing. Gives nice life lessons in the process to student for personality development. I strongly recommend Ms. Marsavonian and we are glad she is our daughter's teacher.

Andrea is AMAZING. Decades of experience and a wonderful teacher. Our daughter had studied under a few other teachers for years but within the first month of working with Andrea I noticed a HUGE improvement in her playing as well as the complexity of the pieces she was undertaking. Andrea is a very serious teacher who works hard to advance students.

I took lessons from Ms. Andrea for many years. She's not what I'd call your average teacher. What can I say folks. what a gem she is and a rare find. Her wonderful personality and passion for teaching everyone from adults to children, her skills and training, and her amazing piano playing will make u fall off your chair. Somehow she makes learning piano exciting and so much fun.never a drag.! And then, I can't say enough about her awesome smile that just lights you up every time you walk in her studio. If there were more than 5 stars. believe, I'd give them to her. B & P Sawyer

Ms. Marsavonian is at the top of her class as an instructor, she has the patience of an angel and takes the time to ensure that her pupils understand every phase of their lessons. What an excellent pianist she is in addition to teaching. She hears everything, every note and nuance of the music she so obviously loves. She not only teaches her pupils to play but also instills a love of music in each one who happens to come to her class. She is outstanding and anyone having the opportunity to learn from her has been blessed with God given talent.
