Awesome teacher. My son worked with her for almost two years and learned how to play and read music. Hosting recitals was also a plus for my son and his development. Mrs. Yuliya is patient and very skilled to work with all ages. She provided all books, learning apps, and flash cards. Wish she didn’t have to move. Kristin Hill. Mrs. Yuliya, is an excellent piano teacher! Our 3 kids all learned a tremendous amount of material in a short period of time. Every child who takes her class will be 10 times better in 6 months. She is respected by all students under her care. We really miss her and consider ourselves very lucky to have had such a wonderful piano teacher for our kids! Marina McDonald. Ms. Yuliya is very professional and very patiently taught my three kids piano skills. She encouraged them join the state competitions and helped them build their confidence to perform in front of large audiences. I can see them grow both in piano skills and self confidences which attributes to Ms Yuliya endless efforts. I can not thank her enough, and kids miss her a lot since she moved to Florida. A great teacher and highly recommended. Kids or adults can learn great piano lessons from her. Ko Wang Ms. Yuliya is an excellent piano teacher, she is very patient with my triplets boys that started at age of 5 yrs . She encouraged my sons all the time and let them participate in a lot of competitions . She never fails to believe in their capacity even at their young age. She also treat my boys with kindness. I highly recommend her to any aspiring pianist. Wish she did not move and remains to be my boys piano teacher! Wish her the best !!! Heidi Sabado.

My 7-year-old daughter A. took piano lessons from Ms. Yuliya for a year. We would have stayed with her indefinitely had she not moved away. I think Yuliya is a wonderful teacher for children and for adults. In my opinion, she individualizes her approach for each student. Yuliya is kind but firm; patient but has expectations! She is the consummate teacher. My daughter A. had never been taken piano lessons prior to her year with Ms. Yuliya and her music reading was not where it should have been. Under Yuliya's tutelage (she has her own method on how to teach children to read music) however, I would say she caught on quite well. I was deeply pleased to see that Yuliya sets the bar high. And, my child rose to the challenge. Yuliya uses the lesson time very well. Her lessons include a wide diversity of skill development through the usual collection of level appropriate performance and practice books. A’s repertoire of music she can play grew very much this past year. Our daughter was happy to play her Christmas song for her first recital and then Spring piano recital, also she performed at the Maryland State Spring Festival Piano Solo an got rated as Excellent!!! Then she performed at Twenty-second annual Sonatina and Sonata Festival and got a certificate of achievement in musical performance in level one!!! Also, she performed at Rockville Competition and got a Superior!!! And all these thanks to our amazing teacher Ms. Yuliya!!! We love and miss her so much!!!

Yuliya Strongovska is an excellent piano teacher. My son has been taking piano lessons with her for over 4 years now, and has significantly improved each year. She challenges my son and her students to do their best and encourages them to showcase their talent at local and state-level recitals and piano competitions.

Ms. Yuliya, is a great piano teacher! My daughter is studying with her and has progressed tremendously under her direction. She is great with kids and has a lot of patience and expertise. She follows the Russian School with a lot of creativity and enthusiasm in the process. She works on proper sound technique, articulation and interpretation for each piece. I am a professional musician myself and I know that it is very important to study with a good teacher from start.
