“Yuriy is a really thorough and precise teacher. He explains things fully and, as a result, I feel more confident in my playing now. I had been learning for four years before starting with Yuriy, and had taken my grade 2 ABRSM exam, but had never felt comfortable with my piano; now that I understand more, I find it easier to play. I passed my grade 3 with Honours.”
Lucy Williams, 26, London Bridge
“My seven year old son, James, has been learning the piano for 6 months now, and he really loves it. Yuriy is very good with him.”
Ms. Joanna Baker, 34, Hampstead
“I really enjoy my lessons with Yuriy. I learnt piano for six years in school and theory was never my strong point, but Yuriy has really helped me pull it up. I never understood the importance of it before, but my playing is so much better now.”
Dafydd Prys-Davies, 24, Clerkenwell
“I’m so glad I took up the piano, I really love it. It’s never too late to learn something new, and Yuriy is a really great teacher. Would recommend to all.”
Dr. Triveni Dasgupta, 47, Kentish Town
“Yuriy has been teaching my children Natasha, who is 7, and Ivan, who is 9, for almost a year. In this time I have seen incredible progress. I am truly impressed with both him and my children.”
Natalya Semenovna Morozova, 33, South Kensington
“I started the piano along with my 8 year old daughter Ashu to keep her company. I didn’t think I would really like it too much, to be honest music isn’t really my thing, but I’ve actually had a great time! I really enjoy our lessons. And Ashu is glued to the piano!”
Ramya Jeganmohan, 31, Wood Green
“Great Stuff! Yuriy is an amazing teacher – would definitely recommend him! He’s a great guy, and has really pushed me to play as well as I can – which, as it turns out, is actually very well, if I may say so myself!”
Olushola Imasekha, 21, Bayswater
“I used to find the piano a bit boring, but with Yuriy it’s different. You can see he is very passionate, and that in itself is inspiring. I really enjoy playing the piano now, and can see myself getting better.”
Emma Holland-Smith, 17, Marylebone
“I had played piano up to grade 7, as well as a variety of other instruments; so when my girlfriend gave me an accordion for my birthday in March last year, I thought there would be no harm in trying some lessons. I started with Yuriy Chubarenko a few weeks later, and have been learning since; he is really something else, a fantastic musician and teacher, and it’s a pleasure to learn with him. The accordion is a beautiful instrument, and you can get a lot of interesting sound from it.”
Hugo Levoison, 28, Hackney
“I’ll be starting my BMus in September, and these lessons have been a huge help in giving me some extra preparation. I tour along with the choir in my school, so I need to keep my piano at a very high standard all the time.”
Maja Wiśniewska, 18, Walthamstow
