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.

I am coming to the cello as a brand new beginner. I have play around with some fretted instruments, ukulele, banjo, etc. But Irina was super at getting me relaxed, focused on basics and encouraging me with small, but important mechanics and technical details. I have taken other music lessons like sax, so could compare. I totally enjoyed the start of my cello training.
Oh, btw, I'm retired and over 65!!!
