НАЧАЛО - Mina Ivanova

Experienced concert pianist, pedagogue and researcher

"I have the opportunity to know Mina from the National Music School, as well as the happiness of continuing our friendship all these years. She is one of the most erudite individuals I know, which is reflected in her teaching skills. Her teaching style stands out for being academic, emotional and professional. Mina is a person who can inspire interest in music and art in young musicians, as well as develop both their professional worldview and their general worldview. This is undoubtedly due to her rich experience with different cultures, her high level of education, as well as her personal erudition."

- Stilian Kirov, principal conductor and music director of the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra, Chicago
"I have been constantly impressed with Mina's attitude as well as productivity during the time that she has worked with the University. She is a great pianist as well as piano teacher. Every student loves her. Moreover, Ms. Ivanova has excellent communication skills. She can speak many languages. Additionally she can work independently and is able to follow through to ensure that the job gets done. She is flexible and willing to work on any project that is assigned to her."
