Toni-Anne AndrisanoAnastasia is a fabulous teacher. We highly recommend her. My daughter has excelled at playing the piano after 3 years of lessons. She knows how to bring out the true talent in children. My son who has been playing for 2 years is coming along nicely as well. She is someone you can trust with your children.
Susan WalterAnastasia is an excellent piano teacher and an inspirational musician and artist. She offers the perfect balance of "firm" and "fun"; both kids and parents love her.
Patricia LeitchAnastasia’s teaching skills are as wonderful as her piano playing. Her mantra “always trust the child” guides her ability to determine what your child needs in terms of pace and teaching style. The recitals give the motivation to succeed but with great support and compassion. The kids love Anastasia as do the parents. She books up but if you can get on her schedule for classes I highly recommend her!
Wen J.My daughter Angelina was studying with Anastasia since June of 2015. Our goal was to prepare Angelina for the British royal music theory test (www.abrsm.org) and then consequently for the British royal piano exam (grade 8-highest grade). I am happy and proud to announce that recently my daughter received a stunningly high score of 94 at the British royal music theory exam. Angelina never studied music theory prior to June of 2015. During four months of rigorous theory lessons with Anastasia, Angelina covered three years' long theory course. I am very happy with my daughter's success. At the moment under Anastasia's guidance, Angelina is preparing for the British royal piano exam. Anastasia's goal-oriented instruction and passion for classical music helps my daughter to grow as a musician and to reveal her artistic and intellectual potential to the fullest.
Steven ZynshajnAnastasia has been teaching my 8 year-old daughter the piano for three years. She is passionate about music and dedicated to the art of teaching. She is the bearer of a great tradition, the school of Russian playing represented by legendary pianists such as Horowitz, Gilels, and Richter. Having grown up in the cultured city of Saint Petersburg, she carries herself with dignity and is always considerate in her communication. Her manner with my daughter is neither tyrannical nor soft. She adapts well to a given situation, whether the child deserves accolades for dedicated practice, or whether a greater effort is required. The pieces she assigns are always enjoyable and melodic, and adapted to my daughter's current technical needs. We are very fortunate to have such an accomplished teacher and performer such as Anastasia in our midst, right here in Morristown.
Christian RoesslerPlaying piano is more than a skill to Anastasia. It’s poetry free of the inaccuracies of words, a way to experience life deeply and express oneself beautifully. Hearing Anastasia for the first time in a concert made a powerful impression on me. It opened my eyes to higher plane of beauty. While she mesmerized the audience with her skill and passion, I thought about life’s greatest rewards, and was I doing the right things to find them? Anastasia studied at a prestigious conservatory in St Petersburg and at NYU. She has masterful technique and an evocative style. She also speaks fluent French; I believe many of her clients are from Europe. These days, we are inundated with things to pay attention to. Learning from an accomplished pianist like Anastasia attunes us to focusing on the moment, experiencing it fully, living with passion. What could be more valuable, really?

Imene Said KouidriMy three children have been taking lessons with Anastasia and it's been great. She is also fluent in French and conducted her lessons with my children in French. We couldn’t ask for more in US—a piano teacher who would also encourage our children to speak our native language.
