Smirnov Music School

Maestro Smirnov is very knowledgeable teacher. He is very passionate about music and loves teaching. He loves to teach young children and gives great feedback to his students. We highly recommend Smirnov Music School.

My 12-​year-​old daughter has taken singing lessons from Maestro Smirnov for nearly three years and has become a little diva. When she began lessons her upper range was extremely weak and I just wanted her to be able to audition better for school plays. Now, after what she’s achieved, that seems like a trivial goal. She now confidently performs in talent shows and youth musical theater. Maestro Smirnov teaches classically and my daughter does her share of Ave Maria’s but also sings musical theater and pop (think Whitney Houston’s «I Will Always Love You»). Her lessons gave her the courage to audition for America’s Got Talent and she even got a call from producer but alas she didn’t get in. Maybe next year.
My 15-​year-​old son has taken piano lessons from Maestro, for about a year and benefits from how Maestro weaves theory, technique and playing into one. This is still a relatively new effort and so it’s too early to see full results but my son definitely plays with more feeling than he did a year ago.
Maestro is a very knowledgeable musician and teacher. At first I thought his high-​knowledge and style might be better for university students (and he teaches all levels of skill) but he’s actually very engaging and warm with his younger students. Highly recommended.
