MARSHA STARIKOV

ABOUT ME: My name is Marsha Starikov and I recently moved to Florida from Massachusetts. I’ve been teaching kids and adults for 45 years and after being retired for 2 years I’ve really missed teaching piano. I’m seeking 6 - 8 students a month to bring the joy of music to.

WHERE I GOT MY EDUCATION: I studied piano at the Ukraine Conservatory, a very difficult school to get into.

WHERE I TAUGHT: In Ukraine and then in Massachusetts (Ashland, MA) for 45 years.

WHY PIANO IS BENEFICIAL: There are so many reasons for kids and adults to learn to play but most importantly music is fun and brings people joy. Piano lessons have many benefits for kids and adults and it’s been shown to help with stress relief, confidence, enhanced memory, discipline, and creativity, just to name a few benefits.

One of my many talented students that I had the pleasure of teaching. I’m so very proud of Sarah and her growth as a person and pianist over the years.
