Teaching experience
My teaching philosophy encompasses not only the technical aspects of piano playing but also a deep understanding of aural skills music theory various musical forms and the rich history of classical music. This holistic approach allows my students to develop a well-rounded musicianship that enhances their performance abilities. I am also an expert on the prevention of occupational injury in pianists and am promoting healthy piano techniques.I take great pride in the success of my students many of whom have excelled in various piano examination boards in the UK achieving prestigious qualifications such as LRSM and FRSM diplomas. They regularly showcase their talents at competitions where numerous students have earned awards and recognition for their outstanding performances. I have thought privately and in schools in the UK since 1989. I commenced my career at an early age distinguished as a child prodigy and embarked on my concert journey at the age of eight with solo performances. I have achieved success in music competitions and festivals showcasing my talent through television appearances and national radio broadcasts. As a classically trained pianist I have had the honour of performing over 300 concerts throughout the United Kingdom as well as in Eastern and Southern Europe. These experiences have significantly enriched my understanding of performance dynamics and audience engagement.

TESTIMONIAL
This is a reference from a private student when Marina joined TeachTutti
Marina, is simply a phenomenal teacher. She has years of professional concert pianist experience and over 3 decades of teaching experience. She knows how to approach students of different levels and ages. She is attentive to detail especially proper hand posture and technique. She enhances her lessons with explanations of music theory and history. She teaches her students to appreciate and love music, not just play the correct notes. She very much attentive to her students interests and gets them to play the variety of musical styles and types of music. She tackles the challenges of playing and interpreting very challenging scores. Marina is excellent at preparing her students for exams and performances, both in terms of technical musical readiness and also approaches to manage performance anxiety. She has been my daughters teacher for 2 years and managed to achieve really impressive results. My daughter adores her piano lessons. We are very lucky to have Marina as a teacher. I would highly recommend Marina to both adults and children, beginners and advanced students.

Marina really helped my playing in every way: listening, technique, repertoire, and physical health. I highly recommend her teaching methods and I wouldn't hesitate to return to Marina when I have more spare time to commit to regular lessons as a working adult. I felt her lessons were extremely valuable.

Marina is a calm highly experienced piano teacher with an in depth knowledge of the piano and the history of music. Marina is a skilled problem solver who matches the solution to each student, young or old. She is incredibly patient and seems to impart the skills of piano playing seamlessly over time. My piano journey started later in life and it has been revelatory to go on my musical journey with such an incredible teacher and piano player. Any student would be privileged to have Marina as a teacher.
