Marina’s Harp and Piano Studio

I’ve taken harp lessons with Marina for about seven years. Her teaching has taken me so far in the harp community. It’s because of her that I am currently auditioning at prestigious universities to pursue a degree in harp performance. So far, I’ve been accepted into three music programs! Marina has also guided me through many solo competitions, concerto competitions, orchestra performances, and summer music programs. Marina is great when it comes to working on advanced music. She is very detail-​oriented and knowledgable. She can help you with anything in advanced music from interpretation to rhythms to articulation. Graduating from one of the top harp programs in the country — Indiana University — Marina really knows what it takes to be a professional harpist. Any harp student in Reno who is considering a serious career in harp should look up Marina. It will be worth your while!

My daughter, who plays the harp, goes away to boarding school. When she comes home for breaks, we rent a harp from Marina so that she can practice. It is always a smooth and professional interaction with Marina. She has a good selection of harps (with tuners) and is very accommodating. The prices are fair and reasonable. She has the dolly to transport the harp and also has a music stand, if you need one. Marina responds to inquiries and questions right away, too. She is 100% pleasant and professional!

I am currently learning to play the harp with Marina at UNR. She is very patient with me as this is my first instrument. I was taught how to read music and which strings were which. I have a long way to go still but I am sure with her I will soon be able to play beautiful music.

I have worked with Marina for 5 years on and off dew to distance between us., both myself and my daughter studied with her. (me more on the piano, and my daughter on Harp).
Her skills as an instructor are unmatched! The amount of encouragement and positive energy that she brings to her lessons is wonderful. She makes the work fun and enjoyable. She brings passion, and her love for music to every session, and makes you believe in yourself!
Marina will make you work hard, and don’t get me wrong — she will be tough when necessary, but you will only grow and be more polished dew to that.
Both my daughter and are very thankful for all the work Marina has done for us.
