Pianist Vladyslav Ustiuhov offers professional piano lessons for students all ages and levels at his home studio in the South Miami area.

I’ve been taking lessons with Vladislav for just over a year. He is very patient , and he has helped me improve at reading music . Vladislav has also taught me a great deal of music theory compared to what I knew before . I’ve learned many new chords, chord progressions, and he’s given me a lot of information regarding scales and improvising, including how to structure melodies and creatively harmonize them.

He’s always encouraging and adapts his teaching style to fit my learning pace, which has made the whole experience enjoyable and rewarding. If you’re looking for a teacher who truly cares about your progress and makes learning piano a pleasure, Vladislav is the one.

Teacher Vlad is the best. He's very patient and make me feel comfortable during the lessons, he's a knowledgeable, energetic and fun teacher. I'd recommend him to anyone who want to learn piano, you'll not regret to take his lessons.

I think Vlad is a fantastic music teacher. Vlad is a patient teacher that covers the lesson materials at a pace that necessitates my ability to digest the material. Vlad is constantly pushing me to take on more challenging compositions, so that I can continue to improve rather than remaining stagnant and frustrated. Vlad is open to permitting me to select compositions from whatever genre of music that I'd like to play. We have played pop music from Phil Collins and George Michael, to film and TV scores like Game of Thrones "Light of the Seven." We are currently working through John Thompson's books and are beginning Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" and "Fur Elise." I enjoy pop music and Vlad is always open for me to pick a Billy Joel composition or "Chariots of Fire." I really enjoy the flexibility to play both challenging classical music, while playing pop songs that I love. Vlad's instructional approach is the same regardless of the compositions we are playing. Vlad is patient and makes our lessons enjoyable. That's not to say they are easy. My lessons always challenge me to grow and improve. We also work on music theory incorporating flashcards and different techniques to learn pieces that I get stuck on. I am an adult student with learning disabilities/ADHD and Vlad has been an excellent teacher. When I first contemplated taking virtual lessons via Zoom, I wasn't sure if it would work for me or if I would get easily distracted and/or bored. However, after months of lessons, I have found that Zoom lessons are excellent and it's as if Vlad is sitting right next to me at my piano. Something else I really like is that Vlad can record the audio and video of our lessons, so that I may rewatch them through the week while practicing. We cover so much information in one lesson that it's easy for me to not pick up on everything Vlad teaches. I highly recommend Vlad as a music professor. He cares and is extremely knowledgeable.

I met Vladislav five years ago at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where we studied piano under Professor Max Levinson. We had the opportunity to collaborate and work together on multiple occasions during our studies. Vladislav is a hard-working and passionate musician, as well as a reliable and supportive friend. I am truly grateful to have such a colleague and friend who is always eager to help others in need. His skills and musicianship are truly inspiring and something to strive for.

As a 25-year-old female with a great passion for music, I was thrilled to work on some piano pieces with Vlad. His expertise and dedication have transformed my piano playing. His patient and encouraging teaching style have helped me to learn several pop songs with challenging rhythms. I am grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend taking piano lessons with Vlad!

As an adult beginner, I had a great experience taking piano lessons with Vladyslav. He is quite knowledgeable and passionate about music. Every lesson is informative and well-structured. In 2 months we have covered the entire first level lesson and a performance book of “Piano Adventures”. Besides pieces, I have learned 2 scales, arpeggios and some exercises. I always felt motivated and encouraged during my lessons. I highly recommend lessons with Vlad.

I am taking piano lessons with Vlad for 3 years already. I have never played piano before. Vlad helped me with some piano basics and we quickly jumped into learning pieces. He is passionate about teaching. We worked on pop pieces that I was dreaming to play. We also studied several classical pieces. He is good with keeping things organized and balanced. I had a chance to play at his piano studio recital.
Highly recommend!
