What Adult Students Write
Thank you Marina for bringing so much joy to our lives!
My husband and I had never played the piano before. Within a few weeks of starting with Marina, we began to be able to play simple arrangements with both hands and the pedal. She is extremely patient and has a systematic way of teaching. Whenever I have trouble playing any part of a piece, she would always show me ways to overcome the difficulties. Her passion for teaching is simply inspiring. Once you start with Marina, you won't be able to stop playing. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in learning to play. I can't imagine a teacher better than her. We were simply lucky to have found her.

I am a senior and have studied piano for a couple of years while I was a kid. After I retired, I picked up piano again, but I found my touch was flat and dry. I could not produce beautiful tone.
I took lessons from Marina. In only two months, she corrected my bad habits and taught me the choreography of hand movements and shaping. I started to relax hand, waist and arm muscles; and have muscle prepared before fingers touching the piano keys.
Apart from technique and skill, Marina is very inspiring and guides me to appreciate music. She shows me how to anaylze sheet music, how to use pedal, and how to give up some music notes so as not to play the music too stressful when my hand cannot stretch far to reach the keys.
Marina is a great piano teacher.
