Introduction: Holistic piano, violin, voice lessons for all ages in ARLINGTON, MA. Mindful Music Studio was founded by violinist/vocalist Ariadna Kryazheva and pianist David Harewood. It is a small private studio. What's special about Mindful Music: - Individualized curriculum based on mind-body wellness and mindfulness. - Prioritizing music literacy; your ability to read notation. - Alexander Technique elements to prevent bad habits and injury. - Somatic Voicework principles in vocal lessons to unlock the greatest potential of your unique voice. - Jazz voice/singing and improvisation. - Jazz piano and improvisation. - Jazz violin and improvisation. Exploring an instrument is a great way to expand your life experience! We help both children and adults develop a relationship with their instrument, providing a nurturing environment for artistic growth. Building healthy instrumental and vocal technique is our priority. Through careful observation and use of the Alexander Technique we work on preventing physical injury (pain, tension, vocal fatigue, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, etc) and frustration that arise from bad habits and poor basics. We also apply the principles of Somatic Voicework(TM) in our voice instruction. Somatic Voicework was developed by singer and pedagogue Jeanie LoVetri. It is a functional approach to vocal health and development applicable to all singing styles. If you are thinking about having your child try a musical instrument, it is crucial to start off with the proper foundation.

Ariadna Kryazheva has been a wonderful piano and trumpet teacher to my 14 year old son. He started with some experience with both instruments, though he had little confidence with either instrument. He has studied both piano and trumpet with Ariadna for almost a year and a half now. He has come far in his knowledge of music and ability in both sight reading music as well as finger dexterity and timing using a metronome. Ariadna is very accomplished in a variety of musical instruments and provides a professional teaching environment. The teaching methods she implements is stimulating and she keeps him focused. She has helped our son build confidence in his reading and playing and yet she is very soft spoken and encouraging in parts where my son experiences frustration. Our overall experience has been very positive and rewarding.

Ariadna & David are an exceptional pair of musicians/teachers of all genres and compliment their work with their expertise and specialties! I personally started playing the piano with Ariadna whose style of teaching helped motivate myself, an adult, to coast through the beginners stages of learning a new instrument! Everyone has an instrument that they wish to play and usually most people are worried about committing to the practice and expense of the task! Ariadna and David are affordable, fun and challenging and are willing to work with a careered individuals hectic schedule! If the piano is your instrument, When you graduate past the beginners foundational stages, you'll experience David's exceptional style to help mold you to learn the instrument in your own unique way! Two thumbs up for these two as teachers or musicians to hire for events!!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We schedule an initial consultation to meet in person for a trial lesson. We learn about the student's background and aspirations, and go from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As mentioned above, in music the education is never-ending. We work on our instruments daily, in any hours free of teaching. A life of an artist, of a musician is filled with constant work, improving and re-discovering the skill set and expanding the mind. We write, we improvise, we perform and record projects, we collaborate with other artists, we travel abroad to share our work internationally.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We provide music lessons - violin, piano, voice, improvisation, and composition in various styles. We focus on quality technique work and individual musical development. We teach not only how to play an instrument, but how to practice constructively, using only the time and effort necessary to succeed. While results matter, studying music is about the process, self-awareness, peace of mind, curiosity and inquiry.
