Perfect Pitch Music Studio

"Irina is a phenomenal music teacher and absolutely the BEST teacher I have ever had my entire life! Even though I am an adult student, she doesn’t treat me any differently or make me feel as if I have any less potential than others starting young. On the contrary, my experiences with her so far have been extraordinary. Her teaching methods and techniques have taught me to see, understand, and love music in a way I have never been able to before. The only way I can think of describing it is this: I feel like I’ve been a color blind person who used to be able to see only a few colors but now can see the full spectrum. I hear music in a way I couldn’t and didn’t before. I think more critically while sight reading and feel I have gained a much deeper understanding of what I see and play. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an extremely high quality education and training to be able to experience the very best of music. She is so passionate, dedicated, and committed to teaching! Studying music has been such a joy with her - I am so grateful for her patience, thoroughness, and most importantly, her faith and drive to push me to reach my highest potential. Thank you, Irina! I feel so lucky to have found you!!"

"We would rate Miss Irina “5 out of 5” as an AMAZING piano teacher. She is very welcoming and encouraging to children, and cares deeply about them. Her piano lessons are tailored to each student’s individual learning pace. Our children were convinced that they wanted to continue learning to play the piano as soon as they finished their first lessons with her. She is a very patient teacher, but keeps students on a steady goal-oriented path. She is able to adapt her teaching methods to our children's vastly different learning styles. She also customizes the lessons based on their interests. She teaches with passion, giving attention to each of their skills and abilities. She keeps them motivated by giving them challenges without making them feel overwhelmed. Our focus has been on piano as another vehicle by which our children can understand what life has to offer and as a different challenge than the academic and athletic activities can provide. While Miss Irina can give so much to the potential development toward professional careers, she also supports our goals of shaping complete young people."

"My daughter has been taking Skype lessons with Dr. Irina for almost two years. We chose Skype because of the distance and time constraints. Before her we had two live teachers who were constantly saying how great my daughter was doing. It turned out to be the opposite! Dr. Irina had to start from scratch to build my daughter's skills and patiently teach her all the basics she missed with the other teachers. I am not a musician, so I have to trust a teacher to do their job well, but even for me the comparison is overwhelming. I can tell the huge difference in my daughter's progress. She has no more trouble reading and understanding music, and her technique has improved so much! She enjoys practicing now, because she doesn't feel lost not knowing what to do. Dr. Irina always invites me to be present and participate during the lessons. I find it extremely useful. I am actually learning a lot as well, so I can help my daughter during her practice. We are very blessed to have found such an incredible and caring teacher!"

"Dr. Yurkovskaya is truly the key to success. I have studied voice and piano with her for 7 years, and to this day have not met anyone who could match her professionalism and personality. She would notice the smallest technical or musical problem immediately and always find just the right, sometimes unique, way to fix it, whether it would be for singing or playing the piano. She is a vast source of ideas. I admire her creativity, passion, and love for making music. She is one of a kind."
