I truly love teaching. Being there for someone during their growth and celebrating their achievements together is such a joy. And honestly, I can’t even imagine my own development without teaching anymore!
My main focus, both in my own practice and in my lessons, is body awareness and understanding how to use the body efficiently when playing the piano. What I can help you with is explaining which muscles should be involved and how to activate them, finding the right real-life analogies to describe physical sensations as precisely as possible, showing correct body positions, and helping you understand how different parts of the body interact and what role each of them plays. My goal is to make your piano playing conscious and enjoyable, and progress predictable and clear.
In my lessons, you can ask absolutely any question; there are no “silly” ones. I always encourage my students to ask whatever they like and to talk in as much detail as possible about what they feel. My lessons are not a monologue of instructions but a dialogue where your feedback truly matters. That’s why no one feels shy and everyone can simply be themselves.
You can’t imagine how wonderful it feels to play the piano when everything in your body works in harmony. It’s almost like a body practice, and in our digital age, it brings such genuine joy. I myself enjoy every single touch of the keys, and I’d love to help you learn to experience that same pleasure.
Looking forward to seeing you in class!

Recording Analysis
A detailed, personalized analysis of your piano posture and technique, based on your video recordings. This service is designed for pianists who want to improve their body awareness, sound quality, and physical comfort at the instrument.
Assessment of your current technique:
- Posture
- Hand, wrist and arm position
- Muscle tension or underuse
(throughout the body) - Overall body coordination
Action plan:
- What to focus on and why
- Which muscles to strengthen or release
- Exercises (with video demonstrations)
to develop proper movement - Precautionary measures
Answers to your specific questions:
- Struggling with a certain passage?
- Dealing with hand fatigue?
- Need help with a specific technical element,
such as chords or octaves? - Facing another technical challenge?
What I need from you
A high-quality video of you playing, showing three angles: your full body in profile, a back view (to see shoulders and back), a close-up of the hands and elbows. Please wear fitted clothing (no baggy sleeves or sweaters) so I can accurately assess muscle use and posture.
Let's make your playing more expressive, comfortable, and sustainable!

Dasha is an incredible teacher — patient, intuitive, and genuinely curious about what makes each student tick. She always takes time to understand what I enjoy and where I’m struggling, which makes every lesson feel personal and purposeful. Her focus on how body movement connects to piano playing has helped me feel more relaxed and natural at the keyboard. Working with her has helped me grow not just in how I play, but in how I appreciate music.

I really appreciate Dasha’s approach to piano playing as a physical and embodied act. She pays great attention to the physiological and neurophysiological aspects of pianism. Under her guidance, I had to relearn my finger technique from scratch and explore various “power training” methods, which finally allowed me to feel confident and to enjoy playing the piano on a physical level.
