Russian with Irina D.

Do you want a teacher who keeps you motivated and focused ? Who can show you all the skills of a well-rounded musician in a relaxed, friendly way? I am the teacher you are looking for! With a solid foundation in classical technique and experience as a cello performer, we will put together a plan for you to achieve your goals in playing cello. I began my musical education at the age of ten, have played for 24 years, and have fourteen years of formal musical education. I specialize in classical music, and can play any musical style required. I am a Legal Permanent Resident of the United States. I was born in Uzbekistan in a Russian family. I graduated from the Music Conservatory of Uzbekistan with a degree in stringed instruments, studying under professor Atham Mansirev, as well as from the University of Foreign Languages with a degree in English. Currently I am working as a principal cellist in NIH Philharmonia and Pro Arte chamber orchestra.
