    About Me

    Hello! My name is Irina and I am a qualified Opera Singer, Composer, and Music Teacher. I used to live in Cyprus for many years and currently, I am based in Latvia. I speak Russian, English, and Greek. I am teaching Classic Vocals for all ages, Music for Beginners, and Music Theory.
    I have taught music to kids, but also I can work with teenagers and adults. Also, I can prepare you for entrance music examinations in Music schools.
    I have a Bachelor's degree in Music from Arte Music Academy in Cyprus. Currently, I am a Master's Student in Jazep's Vitol's Latvian Music Academy in the Vocal Music department specializing in Opera Singing, where I am also improving my qualification in Composition. I have performing experience singing as a soloist and choir singer with Symphonic Orchestras for many years. I really hope that my experience of performing on stage will help my students to achieve better results in their Vocal lessons. I also love teaching and my lessons will be Student-Centered, so my students will have the opportunity to choose their way of learning based on their interests and needs. I speak English, Greek, and Russian. You are very welcome to go ahead and book lessons with me and we can discuss further your music objectives and how I can help you to achieve your goals in Music.

    Education

    Arte Music Academy in Cyprus, Bachelor's Degree in Music, Specialisations (Performing Opera Singing, Music Composition, Music Pedagogy, Music Theory), Grade GPA is 6.1

    Experience / Qualifications

    Vocal lessons with an 8-year-old girl for 1 month and Piano lessons with an adult 40+ for 1 month. Both were completely beginners.
    Every student, who wants to learn music will have to learn Music Theory. This discipline is necessary to learn music instrument, voice, composition e.t.c. How ro read scores, what is rhythm and how to count, how to find a key of the piece and many other questions will be answered through this course. After this course, student will be ready to learn Solfeggio and then Music Harmony. After learning all these music disciplines, student will be ready to learn music form, polyphony, instrumentation, arrangement and composition.
    You are using your voice everyday. Speaking all day at work, or with your friends at the party, sometimes getting your voice tired. This problem is common for the people, who speak with their vocal chords making their throat and neck muscles tight. The right way of using your voice and your vocal chords is going to make your life so much easier even if you don't sing. The singing requires many skills from using your resonators and vocal chords, to a correct breathing using diaphragm. In this course I'm going to teach all levels how to use your voice not only for singing, but also to make your everyday life better and easier.
    Music Harmony is the last discipline that every professional musician has to know to be ready to learn further music disciplines such as Music Composition, Instrumentation, Arrangement e.t.c. How to harmonise your song, correct using of chords, what are chords and how to use them e.t.c. This knowledge is the base of the base to start to move on in your music journey. Modulation, cadenzes, chords, progression and other principles will be learned through this course.
    Solfeggio is a next step of Music Theory discipline. It will imporve your aural skills (ear training), pitch and sight-reading which is the only way to continue to learn music. Aural skill is very important for every musician to understand and to "feel" the music. It will let the musician to play with other musicians, to hear each other and to play music together. After completeing this course, you will be ready to learn Music Harmony and then as a next step you will be ready to lean Instrumentation, Arrangement, Music Composition, e.t.c.

    Composing Music using computer software (any genre)
    Composing your own music has always been a very rewarding task. This has never been so true as the present day when you can hear what you compose instantly by using computers to generate and play back your own music. However, to ensure that your music sounds really great there are many principles to be considered. I have had a great interest in composing for over 40 years, composing in a wide variety of styles. Having been a music teacher in a comprehensive school for over 30 years, I have had a lot of very relevant experience in teaching composition to a wide range of different ages and abilities. The class will be personalized to your particular standard and chosen style of composition. If you are a complete novice and have not used computers to create music we can use a web-based programme or a free downloadable programme. On the other hand, if you are familiar with a particular programme that you have installed on your computer we can work through screen sharing and sound sharing to enhance your compositions using my experience. I will tailor-make the class to suit you.

    Music Production 101: Get To Grips with Electronic Music Production
    Electronic music production is a way of expressing ideas and stories beyond just the realms of a musical instrument. As a jazz trained piano player, band member, composer and producer, I've had the pleasure of performing my works across Europe to crowds of all sizes, age ranges, and tastes. With six years of self taught production and industry knowledge under my belt, I've been fortunate enough to play clubs, festivals, and international shows with my music, and have released music on a wide expanse of award winning electronic labels, such as Low Down Deep, Billegal Beats, Kingdom Audio, in the Lab Recordings, and more. This class will see you explore your journey as a music producer, regardless if you are a beginner, or more advanced in your production journey. Hope to see you here soon!

    Guitar Lessons: online, with written and video material provided
    Since 2015 I have been a private guitar tutor, teaching face to face and online. I cover a broad range of genres and have helped players build a strong foundation for anything from pop to metal. Most of my students pursue guitar as a hobby or a creative outlet, writing songs or performing in bands. I have also helped players prepare for Trinity Rock & Pop or GCSE exams. I provide written notes and video material and can help you organize your practice time. I set aside 30 minutes of prep time per lesson, which can also be used to transcribe and film tutorials for songs of your choice. I encourage all my students to apply the skills they learn in their own personal way. If you are beginner, you will get enjoy what you learn very soon. Your lessons will be simple and practical, with a healthy mix of technique, knowledge and repertoire, along with the basic music theory you need to get by. Intermediate and advanced players will have the chance not only to make progress, but also to fix past mistakes and gain confidence in their playing.

    skills and techniques are explored during classes that aim to awaken listening, in this context, practice is an ally of imagination.
    A music class aims to master the musical language without leaving fun aside. Musical education arouses enthusiasm and curiosity by tuning from the student's particular objectives to the singularities of repertoires that dialogue beyond the barriers of already conditional aesthetic currents. Teaching music is continuous learning, but instruction can become disadvantageous when there is no stimulus to encourage good habits. For these habits to be established, skills and techniques are explored during classes that aim to awaken listening, in this context, practice is an ally of imagination, learning an instrument is not treated as a monotonous activity, as a curated musical practice invoked by improvisation and creativity, essential tools in the construction of the different scenarios of music making.
