Marina Porchkhidze &Vladimir Shinov- music teachers

                                            MARINA'S PIANO STUDIO  was established  in New York City  in 1994.



                                            

Our GOAL is to  teach  MUSIC , not just  the instrument...,awake passion,to open new horizons in one's
imagination and all that without the pressure of competitive anxiety.  We share the goal of bringing joy to every
lesson. We believe, that music education is a noble subject that develops both skill and character through
self-discipline and working artistically with others.
Children enjoy to study piano for the pleasure it gives them; adults who work under stress seek music study as a
way to find repose and artistic satisfaction. Music education should be for everyone,not only for those who excel.   
 Many students really enjoy music,even if they do not make rapid progress.

Our METHODOLOGY depends  on your individuality. The  approach to each student is unique, student's
interests are always taken into consideration. We combine solid academic basics with exciting games,
improvisations and composing.  The lessons are held in quiet ,professionally soundproofed,perfectly            
accommodated studio, which helps students to concentrate and focus on the lesson's assignments.

Among OUR STUDENTS : Children/who are very special students here!/ ,pianists,from different music schools
and colleges,who are studying here to refine their skills and find out something new; violinists, singers,dancers,
adults-amateurs.  

BEAUTIFUL GRAND PIANO,  as well as digital concert piano and  our extensive music library/more than     
2500 music scores and books / will help your dreams come true!!
