“Laryssa is an inspiring teacher whose support and guidance helped me achieve more than I thought possible. She motivated me to grow, introduced me to new composers, and nurtured my love for the music I wanted to play. Her combination of warmth, expertise, and encouragement makes her an exceptional mentor.”

“ I studied classical piano with Laryssa throughout my high school years, and she played an important role in my development as a pianist. With her guidance I learned many advanced works, including a particularly challenging Brahms sonata with violin. Laryssa was always encouraging while also pushing me to grow as a musician and take on more difficult repertoire. She even helped me find my own piano, which I still greatly appreciate. We’ve stayed in touch over the years as I’ve continued my musical journey, including studying jazz piano and independently learning new classical repertoire. I’m very grateful for the strong foundation, encouragement and lasting love of piano that developed during my time studying with her.”

“Ms. Krupa is a virtuoso pianist. I watched her perform on many, many occasions and was always amazed. As my teacher, Ms. Krupa was inspiring both because of her talent and her ability to challenge me at every lesson. With her guidance, I truly grew as a pianist.”
