Shelevich subsequently became her music teacher.[2] Currently, Sadikova also studies at the Special Music School of Saint Petersburg Conservatory, with Kristina Bonner, under maestro Vladimir Spivakov's sponsorship.[3]
Alisa has two older sisters who are also classical musicians: Svetlana Sadikova who studies violin, and Anna fortepiano. They have a younger brother, Pavel.[4]
