Mrs. Petric is the best in the area! She has worked diligently to provide my daughter with competition level training. This level of training is fairly rare to find around here with highly qualify teacher like Mrs. Petric. Most teachers just want to teach basic with no experience in developing the hand and piano technique, but since my daughter is competing we needed intensive courses. Mrs. Petrics lessons are exactly that, and Im really happy to have found that here in Fairfax! She is also a wonderful human being, so kind and with a lot of patience. She definitely loves what she does. We love her and highly recommend her studio!

If your child needs a professional piano teacher, it is highly recommended. You have to experience it yourself to know how good she is.

Teaching adults is more difficult than children and require some skills that Mrs. Petric has in abundance. She is patient and provides a lot of direction when teaching the basics but lets you have fun with simple and tricky songs at the same time. Each class is a mix of the above two and before long you have confidence while being challenged. I highly recommend her studio. She is THE BEST!

My five year old daughter recently expressed her desire to want to learn how to play the piano. I searched for piano instructors and came across Mrs. Petrics Piano Studio and I saw all of the five star reviews. Now that my daughter has been taking lessons with her for the past few months, I understand why. Mrs. Petric is very professional, passionate, and consistent. In just a few short weeks, its amazing to see how quickly my daughter is learning and every day shes getting better and better and thats because of Mrs. Petric. Thank you Mrs. Petric for working with us during this difficult time and I highly recommend Mădălina Petric Piano Studio for any and all levels, but especially for beginners!

Mrs. Petric is an extraordinary and professional piano teacher. My daughter has been learning piano with her for about 2 years. She has made a lot of progress. My daughter seems to be a slow learner with especially piano, but Mrs. Petric is very patient and consistent with my daughter. My daughter is getting better and better. I am very happy to see her progress and thankful for Mrs. Petric. Also, I love recitals that happens twice per year. It is memorable and professional!

Amazing piano teacher! My daughter loves learning piano with Mrs. Petric and has improved a lot within the past few months since learning with her. Very good communication and professionalism.

Our daughter has been learning with Mrs. Petric since she was 4 and we have been overwhelmed by her progress and growth. Mrs. Petric emphasizes fundamentals to set a solid foundation while gently advancing to more sophisticated pieces to help her students learn. We highly recommend Madalina Petric.

I have to admit that when I first spoke with Mrs. Petric, even though she was extremely nice explaining everything in detail regarding her studio policy and teaching strategies, I was a bit surprised with her lesson rates. I thought about it, and I said, you know what, lets give it a try and see what is so unique about the studio. I am thrilled that I listen to my gut. Before coming into Mrs. Petrics studio, my daughter took piano lessons for 3 years (with low rates), and we didnt see any progress. My daughter is taking lessons with Mrs. Petric for the past two years, and her progress is tremendous. Mrs. Petric established her piano technique, which the previous teacher did not, and work a lot on her musicality, developing musical skills that we never know that our daughter had. Besides Mrs. Petric is an exceptional highly educated human being and pedagogue, she is also an amazing pianist. She can play anything and so beautifully Thank you for all your passion and dedication. We love you! I highly recommend her studio, and if she has a spot available, dont think twice!

Our six-year-old daughter began taking lessons with Mrs. Petric in January 2020. Within a few months the pandemic arrived and all in-person lessons were moved online. My wife and I were reluctant at the idea of virtual lessons, but we kept our daughter enrolled and it turned out to be a great decision. In just a few short weeks, our daughter had a solid grasp of the fundamentals and was playing progressively more challenging songs - all from our home. Mrs. Petric has the perfect balance of gentle encouragement yet firm direction to ensure consistent improvement. She is professional, passionate, organized, and has an incredible amount of experience. The progress and growth we have seen in our daughters piano skillset is tremendous, and because of that we recently enrolled our other daughter (five years old). We now have the choice of in-person or virtual lessons, and we chose to continue lessons online. If Mrs. Petrics Studio has a spot available, do not hesitate to enroll your child - you will not be disappointed.

Madalina is a phenomenal teacher and musician. Her passion for music is infectious, which provides great motivation. She also provides very practical and highly useful tips each week to ensure consistent improvement. Her style of teaching is a great balance between gentle encouragement and firmness to provide solid direction. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

Mrs. Petric is very passionate, organized and exceptional piano teacher.My kid is enjoying her piano lessons and her piano skill got improved for a short period of time.Id like to recommend Madalinas piano studio to anyone who wants to learn a piano from basic to advanced.

Our family has had the pleasure of working with Madalina for the past five years. She has become a very special part of our lives. My son (9 years) and daughter (6 years) have received outstanding instruction from her and have both made tremendous gains in the areas of music and piano. Madalina is extremely caring and positive, and relates well with my kids. She is professional, organized, and well-prepared for their lessons. Madalina offers her students fun and familiar, yet challenging pieces to learn and offers choices so they feel they play an important role in their success… My kids always look forward to going and argue over who gets to see her first!

Im an adult beginner and I have been taking lessons with Mrs. Madalina for a year now, and will wholeheartedly recommend her as a piano teacher with no reservations.Because of Covid-19, all of our lessons so far have been through Zoom meetings. Even so, I am thoroughly impressed by how well Mrs. Madalina picks up the details in my playing, and how clearly she communicates even the finest points about piano techniques and musicality through demonstrations and analogies. Aside from techniques, she also incorporates music theory, sight reading into the lessons for a comprehensive curriculum that I dont feel constrained at all by the online format.Ive really enjoyed the learning experience and can feel myself improve with every lesson. Aside from her expertise in piano, Mrs Petric is an awesome teacher because she cares a lot about piano and her students. She comes to each class well-prepared with a thoughtful lesson plan, postive attitude and patiently helps me identify problems and find the right remedy for it. Even though she sets high standards that seem intimidating to me at first, she is always very encouraging and has more confidence in my abilities than myself sometimes. I can see how she works hard to help students realize the potential that they did not even know they had.

Mrs. Petric is an incredible piano teacher. Ive been taking lessons with Mrs. Petric for the past year and I can say that her approach to teaching piano technique is simply the best. For those who seek beginning lessons, Mrs. Petric ensures that a strong technical foundation is laid. Advanced students benefit from her professional expertise by way of her unique ability to identify subtle technical issues and provide solutions for addressing them. Beyond her knowledge and skill regarding piano technique, she teaches in a student-centered way, ensuring that students connect deeply with the piano as an instrument and the music they play. I highly recommend Mrs. Petric to anyone seeking piano lessons. You will not be disappointed.

Mrs. Petric has been teaching our daughter piano for the past several years. She is a wonderful teacher and has been instrumental in inspiring a love of music and piano in our daughter. Mrs. Petric has that rare quality of pushing children to try their best to fulfill their potential, yet doing so in a way that doesnt overwhelm them or cause them to be discouraged. Our daughter has gone from just learning how to play a few years ago, to competing in piano competitions! She is an exceptional teacher and has been amazing to work with. She really knows how to relate to our daughter in an encouraging--yet disciplined--and playful and loving way.

Madalina is an outstanding artist who also happens to love teaching and sharing her talent with other people. She is extremely dedicated and focused on both technique and artistry in her teaching and can truly make you fall in love with music and the piano. I enjoy every class we have together: she keeps me focused and engaged. Besides, she is very creative and always comes up with little surprises and internal contests to motivate her students. I highly recommend her services to anyone of any age who is thinking about picking up piano playing or wants to learn more about music.

My daughter has been attending Madalina’s studio for a year now and she absolutely loves it. She has been able to learn the basics of piano in a fun environment. My daughter loves to attend the weekly classes and is always looking forward to the new challenge. Madalina has taken the time to teach her a solid foundation and build upon it. While doing so, she has demonstrated great patience and love towards her. I highly recommend her as a piano teacher.

My son had several piano teachers before, but none of them can keep his interest in piano. Our friend referred Madalina to us. She told us Madalina turned her son’s crying face into smiling face when playing piano. And she is right. Madalina increases my son’s passion for piano. Before we need to force him to go to piano classes and practice piano. After taking lessons with Madalina, he is looking forward to attending the weekly class and learning new songs. And he is doing the daily practice by himself. I have to say Madalina really knows how to attract kids’ attention on piano and make them love playing piano. She is a great piano instructor!

Madalina is a wonderful teacher. She is an extremely knowledgeable and gifted pianist. She is an even better instructor. Patient, engaging, and very relatable to our son. He enjoys learning and playing piano with her every weekend. We have had our son with a few other instructors over the years, but his comprehension and playing has grown leaps and bounds in a very short time since she has been in his life. We are very much looking forward to continuing his growth in music with Madalina. My wife and I highly recommend Madalina for anyone, kids or adults, interested in piano.

I started taking piano lessons with Madalina about 4 months ago and have enjoyed every lesson so far.Madalina is exactly the kind of teacher I was looking for. She is gifted, patient, supportive and most importantly passionate about music. Her class is well organized and easy to follow. I highly recommend her to all piano enthusiasts.

Madalina is an awesome teacher and human being. She manages to share her love of music with my child and pushes him to do better every time. Thank you for all of your hard work. We love you!

Madalina is a wonderful, energetic and fun piano teacher. She can engage her students and makes learning piano fun. Through her teaching process she imparts good techniques and instills a lifelong love of music. She is extremely professional and responsive. I highly recommend her studio!

Madalina is a sweetheart. She has patience, she is calm and positive. As an experienced piano teacher she is the best person for you if you want to start playing the piano! She loves what she does and she does it with so much passion thats why every lesson will be a wonderful time you get to spend! I highly recommend Madalina to anyone who wants to learn how to play the piano!!!

Before sending my 5 year old to Mrs.Petric, We consulted some other piano teacher and she thought my daughter was too active and not ready for piano. My friend refer Mrs.Petric to us and We are so happy we gave it another try. So far my daughter is with Mrs Petric for 1.5 month, she is very interested in piano practice, everyday she will remind me its her piano time and she will show what she have learned, I should say I am very surprised at what she can do. Really appreciate Mrs Petrics patience, and made piano a pleasure to my daughter and us. Thank you so much!

Ms. Petric is a very successful pianist and piano teacher. Her studio is neat and professional. My son learned wonderful piano skills with Ms. Petric.

She is absolutely awesome. My nephew has been going for the past 2 years and I am completely amazed by his development. He is really lucky to have a teacher like Madalina. Thank you so much. Dr. Brown

Im a musician (I play guitar) and I wanted to also improve my piano playing skills, as an adult. Madalina is the perfect teacher: she pushes me just the right amount and adapts the pace of the lessons to my skill level. Shes also amazing with her young students, she knows how to motivate them and keep them engaged - its a real pleasure studying with her.

Madalina is very talented in technical and performance skills. I found her two years ago through a very limited information online. Though her rate is a little higher than the average rate in the area, I decided to send my daughter to her after our visit and talk. Apart from her talent, she is a very good teacher as she is very patient to understand every single kid and is able to encourage and to challenge all the kids to a higher level of skills.My daughter now loves piano very much and practices very hard everyday. I highly recommend her to any students. Note that you will have a chance to play on a very nice grand piano :).

Madalina is very passionate about music and about teaching, and great with children. She is very sweet with children, but firm, not letting them distract her from the music. Needless to say, she knows what she is teaching. She is also great about gently, but firmly encouraging them.

Madalina is not our first piano teacher. With the previous one my daughters interest to music was declining drastically from week to week, basically to tears. We have to make a choice to give up the piano or try something different. We have been going to Madalina since January this year and there are no tears anymore. She is looking forward to the next lesson and doing her homework willingly. Madalina has a gift to feel the child and chooses pieces to play according kids inclination. She is also very passionate about what she does. My daughter loves her.

We love our piano teacher -- Madalina! It was always my dream that my children should play piano. We started private piano lessons with Madalina when my daughter was in K. Ana Maria is very fond of Madalina and has advanced so much! Madalina has an incredible talent to develop the love for the instrument and knows how to encourage her young students to work hard but also have fun during classes. Madalina has a solid education (European and US) and background in piano, and that shows. Last spring Madalina organised a recital and I had the pleasure to listen to most of her students play. It was a joy!!! Madalina works hard to understand the specific of each child and adjusts her teaching methods according to the individual needs of the child. I strongly recommend Madalina to all my friends. If you get a spot dont hesitate to take it; its not going to be available for too long.

Madalina is a wonderful and talented instructor. She is very patient and caring to her students. She specializes in piano and tailors lessons to fit the students needs, which I personally found it amazing!!! You will not regret to take his lessons. I guarantee you!

My girl learned piano for one year at another place before we sent her to Ms. Petrics studio. Now she has been with Ms. Petric for one year and two months, I can not believe how much more she learned here and how fast she progressed!! Ms. Petric is super professional and such an inspiring teacher!

I have never met such a dedicated teacher, her students always come first! I highly recommend Madalina! Your kids will love her and who knows, maybe they will fall in live with piano, too!

Madalina is a brilliant piano teacher. She s wonderful with children and challenges them to excel. Its also been a real treat for our daughter to play on Madalina s beautiful grand piano.

Both my daughter and I take piano lessons with Madalina and we both enjoy our classes a lot. She knows how to engage my kindergartener as well as teach me as an adult. I am very happy that I found her and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional, fun and very dedicated piano teacher

My grand daughter had several piano lessons prior with different teachers but she had no improvement at all!We have over 6 month with Ms Madalina my grand draughter is now she is so different as before!!She really enjoys the lessons 100%!!!! We are very happy with her !!l

Madalina is a fantastic music teacher. She is passionate, attentive, and very talented.If you are looking to have a very pleasant music learning experience, look no further than Madalina and the Madalina Petric Piano Studio!

She is a wonderful piano teacher who can work with kids and motivate them in learning music and piano. Highly recommend for anyone who want to learn piano at any level.

My children have been learning piano with Madalina for almost one year now. They started as complete beginners and I have seen such growth in them, both in their playing and in their appreciation for music. Madalina has high expectations and a gift for teaching, so she is able to help students progress quickly. Her passion for music truly inspires the children and it is clear that she wants them to not only progress but to really enjoy what they are playing.Continuing to study piano is a choice I give my kids, and they have the option to try a different instrument if/when they are ready for a change. So far they have chosen to continue learning piano with Madalina. Daily practice is challenging for them, but they feel successful and fulfilled studying at Madalina’s studio, and that makes me happy that our investment in time and money has been worthwhile.

I enrolled my son about a month ago to take lessons from Ms Medalina . He has progressed significantly . We didn’t have good experience with his previous teacher and my son always came to piano class in tears. However, Ms Madelina somehow got my son willing to go and practice at home without any force. What I like about Ms madelina is that she also teaches theory and gives my son a good foundation. I just recently enrolled my daughter too! She’s only 5 years old and after a trial she actually wanted to go back to take lessons. Her previous teacher said she wasn’t ready and it was impossible. However Ms Medaline made it impossible! I strongly recommend this studio. It is cute and creates a comfortable and good environment to enjoy music.

Awsome teacher and person over all. Very experienced and gives it all to her students, highly recommend her as your piano teacher no matter what age you decide to learn this instrument 😊

Highly recommend Madalina !! She is professional and patient . My son enjoys learning piano from her.

Madalina teaches by very high standards. Her love for children combined with her great knowledge and highly skilled performace as a pianist, make her a great teacher and piano instructor.

Madalina is a very talented piano teacher. My daughter has learnt so much since she started going to Madalina’s. She encourages her students to give their best and enjoy the learning process at the same time.

Excellent piano teacher! She taught our daughter how to enjoy piano again.

We have Mrs. Madalina for the past 3 years and we couldnt be happier. Before that, we took lessons at the Mason Community Arts Academy of GMU. There is no term to compare. Mrs. Madalina is wonderful and helped my child not only excel in piano but also as an individual. She fits the structure and needs of the lesson around the student. Passion, patience, kindness, and lots of professionalism are Mrs. Madalinas skills. We also have a great teacher-parents relationship. I highly recommend her studio.

My nephew took piano lessons with Madalina and she is a awesome piano instructor I value her as a piano instructor.She is the best.

Update: I have been taking piano lessons with Madalina for over 2 years. My learning experience has been great, Madalina is very patient with adult students. She also challenges me to focus on technique and to play interesting songs.

Madalina is an outstanding, gifted teacher, kind and patient with kids. I highly recommend her.

Talented piano player, passionate about music education and overall wonderful/caring human being, Madalina embodies the perfect teacher.

Madalina is a wonderful teacher who understands her students and knows how to encourage and challenge them.

Madalina has been a great teacher! My son (8 years old) has been doing piano for about 2 years. He connected very well with Madalina. What I like the best about Madalina is her perseverance and consistency. She always gives homework and she is also strict when it comes to sloppy work. My son always enjoys her classes and he learned a lot since he is been taking piano with Madalina. For instance he knows how to read/write musical notes because of Madalina. He also participates in recitals which he loves. Thank you Madalina for your wonderful work!

Madalina is a very positive and encouraging teacher , very friendly and patient, but also good at gauging her studentss level of knowledge and ability. I highly recommend Madalina as a piano teacher.
