Empowering pianists to find emotional and physical healing, to grow, and express their full potential through mindful practice, compassionate teaching and community support.
Welcome to PianoWell
Our goal is to transform the piano journey into one of
healing and self-discovery.
We believe that through mindful practice,
compassionate teaching,
and a strong community, pianists can overcome their past traumas and unlock their full potential—
not just as musicians, but as individuals.
Our community is built on the principles of empathy,
respect, and mutual support.
Pianists here are not just students;
they are part of a family that celebrates each other’s victories
and offers comfort during setbacks.
Through regular workshops, group discussions, and support,
we believe every pianist feels connected and uplifted.
My Journey & Mission
Hi, I’m Emma, a Moscow Conservatory-trained pianist with a Master’s degree in Piano Performance.
Over 25 years, I’ve created a teaching approach that nurtures both technical mastery and emotional well-being.
By embracing a gentle, mindful approach to music, I transformed my struggle with tendinitis and musician’s dystonia into a path of healing and resilience, which now shapes my teaching philosophy and helps others to play without pain.
I believe that true musical expression and mastery are deeply interconnected
with emotional and physical growth and healing.
The journey to becoming a great pianist isn’t just about perfecting technique, but also about healing from the emotional and physical traumas
that can accompany intense training.
I believe that a compassionate, holistic approach to teaching empowers pianists to connect with their inner selves,
overcome their struggles,
and find true joy and freedom in their music.

Retraining
Program
While I’m passionate about performing and teaching piano,
what truly motivates me is helping you heal—
