I'm an award-winning singer-songwriter and pianist whose music touches the depths of the soul, leaving a lasting impression. With over 15 years of experience teaching piano, songwriting, and vocal techniques, I founded the Margarita Shamrakova Music School to nurture the talents of aspiring musicians. From my upbringing in Ukraine to my vibrant life in New York City, my diverse cultural background shapes my unique approach to music education. Drawing from my success in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition and collaborations with industry giants, I offer comprehensive lessons covering everything from song creation to music theory. Whether teaching in the comfort of your home or group settings, I provide a supportive space where you can freely express yourself and discover your inner spirit. With a passion for unlocking the potential of each student, I'm dedicated to guiding you toward greatness in music. Recently I have performed in Lincoln Center in Ritual of Breath opera.

"Love Margarita’s methods and kindness. She is Skilled and activating for my little girl!!!

26 years of teaching experience, with a background in audio/music and video production. I play keyboard and piano with local bands and churches, and enjoy using this experience to help students learn to use lead sheets, chord voicings, and improvisation as well as traditional music reading, ear training, and theory. I'm also a piano instructor at Funkytown Music Academy. I also teach part-time at Artes de la Rosa at the Rose Marine theater for multimedia and keyboards. To add, I’ve re-activated my Speech Pathology license and certification to offer another approach to music and speech instruction.

"Richard is laid back and makes learning piano fun.

Hello, I am a professional piano instructor and concert pianist over 20 years of teaching experience and international critical acclaim. I am currently based in New York and I specialize in working with students 3 years old and up. I also work with adults. Getting the best of the lessons requires discipline, regular attendance at lessons, regular (preferably daily) practice as well as participation in a lot of concerts and recitals (if you wish to learn how to perform well in front of people) which I organize for my students and which are optional to participate in. Some of my students also are winners of piano competitions, festivals, scholarship recipients at conservatories and music colleges (the competitions are optional to participate). Special note for parents interested in lessons for their children: when working with young children, it helps a lot when the parents are also supportive and involved - for example to help make sure that written homework is done on time, to help establish regular time for piano practice in the child's schedule so that can become a routine. All of that will help establish natural discipline at early age and later it will be much easier when piano pieces are longer and more challenging (for example Beethoven Sonatas, Chopin Ballades, Bach Partitas, Prokofiev Sonatas, Liszt Rhapsodies, etc.). I have noticed that the gap between kids learning to play the piano for fun as an extra curriculum activity and kids learning professionally (to become concert pianists), is very big here in the United States. Parents who look for established music specialists usually sign up their kids at one of the most popular schools for professional music studies in New York: the Julliard prep division, the Special Music School (next to Lucy Moses), or the Mannes prep, etc. These programs are great but very extreme for some kids who are pushed often way too far at very early age. Also, the atmosphere is way more competitive (even between the teachers). It works for some, but not for all. That's why finding the right balance combined with positive and friendly environment is important to me in my work with my students. My students either learn music as an extra curriculum activity or professionally. But even those who are learning piano as an extra curriculum activity, they need to follow a certain level of discipline, routine and do weekly practice and homework assignments in order for the lessons to make sense. To me cultivating love for music comes first and it is very important that my students are enjoying the lessons while learning how to play properly (reading real music instead of reading numbers or pressing 2 or 3 black keys patterns), playing with correct posture, correct wrist position, wrist motions on particular phrases, sound, technic, inner voices, pedaling technic, music color, dynamic, music vocabulary, how to develop big sound without getting tense in the shoulder and arm area, curving fingers, etc and etc. My detailed professional background, testimonials and credentials are available upon request to serious inquiries only.

"I was referred to Galina by a family member eight years ago, and she now teaches all four of my children. We have been so fortunate to have her as their piano teacher! Galina not only teaches my children how to play the piano through weekly lessons, but she also has an incredible knowledge of music theory and music history. She is wonderful with students of all levels, whether they are just starting out or are more advanced. One of the things I appreciate most about Galina is her ability to adapt her teaching style to each student’s individual needs and personality. She is patient and understanding, while also providing the right amount of encouragement and challenge to help each student continue to grow and progress. My children have developed not only their piano skills but also a greater appreciation and understanding of music. Galina also holds an annual recital for all of her students, which is always a special event for our family. We love being able to invite friends and family and see how much the children have learned and progressed throughout the year. I wholeheartedly recommend Galina to anyone looking for a talented, knowledgeable, and dedicated piano teacher!

I teach piano and voice lessons to students of all ages. I teach in people's homes, in music studios, in meeting rooms, on stages, in amphitheaters, and online on zoom and other formats.
