Galina's Guitar Studio

I've had many music teachers teach me, but never have I ever met one quite like Galina. Her experience with teaching and music is unmatched, her love and passion for her work is immense, and her care of her students is unparalleled. Prepare for your son/daughter to be pushed towards success, and to be taught valuable life lessons along the way. Galina will open the floodgates of music's potential. She will show you why it matters and how it can change your academic/career/personal life. I was not an easy student to teach, nonetheless she has guided towards countless accomplishments and success. 11/10, would recommend to anyone willing to learn.

Fantastic and patient teacher.

Galina is so great! Very patient with little kids and knows how to deal with kids! My boy actually starts to love music after taking her class and after a month he actually want to practice without forcing! Anyways from all the music teachers I have gone to, she is the best one ever!

Galina is super nice, patient and talented teacher. She contribute her own spare time on sponsoring concerts and build music community for the students. With her efforts, my son has achieved enthusiastic in music. She's the best teach I've ever met!

Galina is the best teacher from my son's view. She is very kind, professional, responsible and patient. She really cares about the students and try her best to help them to dig out their potential abilities, and improve their guitar skills. She always concentrates on teaching and has never wasted one minute during class time, and she knows how the encourage the students. With her guidance, my son got several award, and also got high score in RCM exam. I recommend her to all the family who want to send the child to learn real classic guitar. I believe she is the BEST guitar teacher in Greater Vancouver area.

Galina is so patient with my son. She is so caring and continues to follow through with her commitment in teaching all her students. She has the experience, wisdom and applied knowledge which is why she is such an incredible teacher. Thank you Galina!!!

If you're looking for a teacher that can give kids a solid technique foundation, Galina is definitely one of the best classical guitar teachers in the Vancouver area. Galina’s students won many competitions and some students who graduated from her got fantastic music achievements such as going into music colleges, becoming guitar teachers, etc.Beyond the technique, Galina also gave the kids confidence, love, patience, taught them how to never give up, and all the good characteristics that a person/musician should have. With all the skills she taught to her students, they can keep pursuing music in the future.The kids will never feel bored when studying with Galina, they love Galina’s teaching method and her personality.

Galina is an amazing and inspiring teacher. She loves all her students and adores her instrument. She has decades of experience and an in-depth knowledge of music of all eras. I have never met anyone who is so enthusiastic about teaching guitar and cares so much about her students and their needs. Galina has built a very strong musical community that engages students of all ages and their parents. They participate regularly in festivals and concerts, and are a very happy crowd. Ask her for pictures!Galina teaches the RCM program, the Suzuki method, and prepares you for competitions and university auditions. I got into a University Music Program after 4 years of learning guitar with Galina from scratch.If you don't want to follow a specific program, she will make one just for you.
