“I never thought solfeggio/sol-fa could be so fun and easy. When I was studying at the music school, it was a great torment for me to write a dictation, but now it is interesting. Thank you Marina, for opening music for me again, each lesson is a small step towards a dream!”

“I began taking music lessons with Marina a few years ago. I was interested in expanding my vocal range. Since then I have learned proper singing techniques, proper breathing, posture, and vocal projection. I did a lot of useful ear training with her and learned to do my own piano accompaniment. Thanks to Marina I did well in my Vocal Development class at school, and was even able to correct my teacher!”

She teaches the main things in music – how to be musical, how to feel and understand the music you are performing, how to listen to music with your heart, not just your ears. Marina has an individual approach for each student. Her lessons are a process of personal development. Being a professional singer, I fully realize the value of everything I learned in Marina’s classes.”

“Marina is a wonderful, passionate musician and a great teacher. Her lessons are very well structured and engaging. Each lesson covers lots of different aspects of music, such as sol-fa, harmony, composing and music theory. Marina pays great attention to each child’s development and creativity. With her help, my son began to play the piano, sing, feel the rhythm, and even compose his own melodies. Marina always feels a child’s mood and knows how to encourage them to learn something new. My 8 year old son is always happy after her lessons. She is a kind, attentive, patient teacher. It is always fun to watch her at work and the see the huge progress my child is making. I highly recommend Marina!”

I am an actress. I have been studying solfeggio/sol-fa with Marina in a group for six month. If I was asked to describe these lessons figuratively, I would say “embracing a whirlwind “. The atmosphere in our group of “sol-fa lovers” is very democratic and supportive: everyone has a right to endlessly ask questions and make mistakes; we share ideas and just jokes. I am pleased to invite you to visit us, and I am sure that Marina’s pedagogical gift will reveal a lot to you in music and yourself. See you 🙂
