My son has been learning piano with teacher Irina for the past 6 years, Irina really cares about her students, and her students know it. She has a special combination of being loving as well as being firm.  My son is not the easiest student to teach, we feel grateful that we have found teacher Irina, she teaches both theory and classical piano pieces, I cannot say enough great things about teacher Irina!.

I took lessons from Irina for around 6 years. In that time, I learned not only how to play the piano but how to grow as a musician. Initially, I was a very stubborn student when I started--my first teacher wasn't Irina, and it took years to correct many of my bad habits when playing. At times I was tempted to quit, but I'm very glad I stuck with Irina. Piano has enriched my life beyond words, so I'm very thankful to Irina for helping me foster this interest..

Irina has been teaching my daughter since she was 5. Throughout these years, Irina has demonstrated not just a genuine love for music but an unequalled enthusiasm to cultivate the same love in all the students she teaches. Rather than emphasizing high scores on exams and competitions, she considers her students' true appreciation and enjoyment of music as the main goal of her career. By using methods that are innovative and well-tailored for different age levels, she manages to make every lesson interesting, fun, exciting as well as challenging.

Both of my children (12 and 18 years old) have been studying piano with Irina since 1996 and 1997. Irina is a dedicated teacher who works with each child to reach his/her potential. Irina does this with one-on-one coaching and fun workshops... Thanks to her, my son and daughter, not only have an appreciation for music, but also play beautiful melodies."

Thank you very much for teaching me. I not only learned how to play piano but also learned to put feeling into my music. I also think you for giving me a good opportunity to play in front of other people. I promise to keep practicing while I am away, and look forward to seeing in the new year.

Hi Irina, Thank you for being such a wonderful piano teacher to me for the past 8 years. Thank you for encouraging me and for the support. Thank you for teaching me to play musically and for your enthusiasm. I am still playing piano all the time, maybe even more than when I was taking lessons. There was a point in high school when I wanted to quit, but I didn't because of you, and I am tremendously grateful for that. I still like play my old songs like Nocturne in Eb by Chopin and Etudes. I remember the fun times we had with learning duets, and also the times you had to be patient with me! I have a lot of good memories and gratitude for you and how you have shaped who I am as a person and as a pianist. Thank you for everything.
