We love working with Dr. Bezuglova! She is so encouraging of our girls. Our girls have only been working with Natalia for a few months but they are already making tremendous progress.

Natalia is a wonderful teacher. My daughter admires her piano lessons and can't wait to the next one. She is a truly professional and demands results in her work. However, she luckily combines hard work and fun activities, so it's always a pleasure to have a piano lesson. Thank you very much for that! Oleg
