Polina Sisman

Piano

I teach piano to children and adults. I teach solfege and music theory. Every minute of our lesson is festive and inspiring. I blend singing, dancing, culinary and gardening analogies to engage different senses. What we learn with joy, we learn forever.

Ms. Polina Sisman was born in Lviv, W. Ukraine, where she earned a master's degree in Music, Pedagogy and Conducting. A Summa Cum Laude graduate, she expanded her musical education by taking advanced classes at SDSU from Professor Nan McDonald.
