"My name is Anna, I have been dancing Argentine tango for eight years now. Once my husband and I got to a concert of a tango orchestra, and I was completely delighted with the music, the energy and the skill of the musicians. And a couple of years later, at one of the Moscow milongas, I suddenly saw a pavement sign with an invitation to bandoneon lessons from an incredible, technical and charismatic bandoneonist of the same orchestra. And I suddenly decided, in the order of absolute delirium, to try myself in this business. (That is, there is a history of music school, but when was it? And the instrument is painfully different). That is how I personally met Ivan Talanin. All my life I was lucky to have Teachers, and this case was no exception. Ivan is an amazingly wise, delicate, patient and passionate musician and teacher. It is a great pleasure to study with him and just communicate! Unfortunately, health problems prevented me from becoming the star of the stage, due to which I had to stop studying. But the memories, knowledge and sensations gained in the course of music lessons are some of the most pleasant ones received in recent years. Many thanks."
