I am Irina. I teach students from all levels,Violin and Viola(beginners, medium, advanced and very advanced) I was born in Matanzas, Cuba and began my musical studies in the specialty of Violin at the age of 8 years. From a very young age I was passionate about the sound of this beautiful instrument. I studied 16 years in professional music schools until I graduated from the University of the Arts in Havana. I have been Concermaister for more than 20 years of the Symphonic Orchestra of Matanzas, Cuba, playing a very extensive and varied repertoire such as opera, ballet, zarzuela , operetta, contemporary and fockloric music from different countries. With the OSM I traveled to many countries such as Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Austria, etc. As a soloist I have performed in different countries such as Brazil, Spain, Mexico, Cayman Islands,United States, Jamaica, Venezuela, Colombia, Italy. and playing chamber music I have traveled to the United States, Jamaica, Venezuela, Colombia, Italy. I have trained many generations of violinists who today are part of prestigious groups in Salzburg, Franceand Canada. I like the teaching of the appropriate technique to be able to achieve important interpretive advances, I am very faithful to good teaching, not to let the wrong thing pass without correcting it, and I also like to make the student feel comfortable in class, I even accept suggestions that enrich the teacher and student relationship. I like to teach both classical and popular music.

My first lesson with Irina was amazing! I loved her energy, and she was so friendly and encouraging. I’m an adult beginner and have never played a violin before. Irina started by tuning my violin, preparing my bow with rosin and teaching me the various parts of the violin and bow. When she began to show me how to properly hold the bow and violin and moved my arms and hands in the right positions, I felt so thankful that I’d made the choice of in-person lessons. I’m confident that I’ll learn the proper technique from Irina and happy about the hands-on correction I’ll receive. Irina has so much experience and plays beautifully. I’m so excited about our lessons and eager to continue learning from her.
Irina has been absolutely wonderful with my 11-year old daughter. She has a lot of patience and has a natural ability of teaching my daughter how to play the violin.
