Bio

Marina Petrov, a highly accomplished classical pianist and an experienced teacher, is deeply dedicated to her students’ success and well-being. With over 30 years of teaching experience, she works with students of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced musicians. Her students excel in various piano examinations in the UK, achieving impressive results and often competing in music contests where they win awards and recognition.

Marina Petrov’s musical journey extends beyond teaching. She has performed over 300 times across the UK and Eastern Europe, including concerts, music festivals, and competitions. Her performances in renowned venues like Regent Hall and St John’s Smith Square have earned her a reputation as a skilled and versatile pianist.

In addition to her performance and teaching, Marina is a visionary co-founder of Around the Globe Music & Arts and the Around the Globe International Music Festival, which features various keyboard competitions. She also serves as the Executive Editor of Around the Globe Music Magazine, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit and leadership.

As a child prodigy, Marina made her name in national piano competitions in her home country of the former Yugoslavia. This led to tours and media features, including shows on Radio and TV in Belgrade. In 1979, she was also awarded a national grant to continue her studies at the prestigious Moscow Music Conservatoire. Her remarkable talents have been recognised globally, including in the British press, and she has been listed in the International Who’s Who in Music since 1992.


Teaching Info

I offer face-to-face and online piano tuition in Islington (N7), North London, designed to help you take your playing to the next level.

Why Study with Me?

  1. Tailored Instruction

I customise every lesson based on your specific needs—whether you’re refining classical repertoire, exploring jazz improvisation, or preparing for competitions. With my experience, I can quickly spot areas needing attention and guide you towards clear, measurable progress.

  1. Goal-Oriented Lessons

If you’re aiming for ABRSM exams, major recitals, or simply enhancing your technique for personal enjoyment, I’ll create a structured plan to keep you on track. Together, we’ll work on everything from sight-reading to performance etiquette.

  1. Holistic Musicianship

I firmly believe in developing well-rounded musicians. Our sessions go beyond scales and drills, focusing on phrasing, expression, and stage presence. My aim is to nurture not just your technique but also your confidence and artistic voice.

What to Expect from Our Lessons

  • Personalised Assessments

At our first session, I’ll listen to your playing, discuss your musical interests, and devise a bespoke plan that suits your aspirations and respects and nurtures your unique musical style.

  • Structured Progress

I’ll provide detailed lesson plans for each week or fortnight, ensuring a steady and exciting development of technique, theory, and repertoire mastery. Each step forward will bring you closer to your musical goals.

  • Performance Opportunities

I encourage you to participate in local recitals or community events whenever possible. Performing before a live audience is an excellent way to build confidence and showcase your growth.
