The Studio for Piano555

I have been taking lessons with Zerrin Kostem for about seven years and I cannot believe how rapidly I have been able to advance under her careful guidance. I tried a few other teachers before beginning lessons, but none of them were as kind, patient or as fun as she is. She has taught me proper technique and music theory and she loves watching her students master difficult pieces. A former concert pianist, she is the best teacher one could ask for. Visit her wonderful website at www.thestudioforpiano.com

I just completed my second year as one of Zerrin's students. Zerrin makes my weekly lessons a time to look forward to. She is a very dedicated and accomplished teacher, and she manages to make the sessions fun and informal, while keeping a serious focus on the learning process. How she does it, I don't know, but it sure works. I feel very lucky to have found such a good teacher.

I am a student at the Studio For Piano. I have been studying with Zerrin for just about one year. Zerrin is a master of the piano. She has sustained her love for music and she imparts her knowledge with love to each student she teaches. She is extremely patient with each of us regardless to our skill level, has great sense of humor and most importntly,she enjoys what she does. I am so very thrilled to have an opportunity to study the piano with Zerrin.

...lessons at the Studio For Piano with Zerrin Kostem for two years. Before I started my lessons with her, I tried a few other teachers. She is always very patient and I am so glad I found her before I started taking lessons from someone else. With her guidance and instruction, I am now playing pieces I never would have dreamed I could play with just two years of lessons.

I have been practicing and playing the piano for over 11 years that of which has been about 8 years with Zerrin. As a high school student it is extremely difficult to try to tackle the art of playing the piano along side with studies and school work, however Zerrin has a way of effectively teaching me and giving me the best overall piano experience. A short overview of the atmosphere of the lesson is an effective learning atmosphere with the tools taught to a student in order to have the potential to master the piano. In my opinion it is extremely rare to find a teacher that is able to effectively provide all the needed knowledge and technique to play any type of piano pieces, however, Zerrin does this well. She teaches not only piano pieces but the ability to appreciate the art of playing the piano, music theory, and the neccessary "tools" to not only play well but most importantly to play beautifully.
