Anna Vilenskaya is truly remarkable, brilliant, expressive, charismatic, and incredibly funny. Her lectures are not only intelligent and inspiring, but full of personality, energy, and humor.

I deeply admire her talent, respect her character, and believe she is a contemporary genius with an extraordinary future ahead of her in the U.S. and internationally.

What a special evening in Rockville. ❤️

Not music-related… but Angel and Karmic, my two little balls of happiness, are definitely affecting my teaching — in a very good way. 🤷‍♀️🥰🐈‍⬛🐈🎹
I may be teaching piano, but apparently they are teaching me how to relax, laugh, and enjoy the chaos. 😂
