“My passion gives me the ability to help people. From my perspective, those who have had negative experiences with music often feel vulnerable, and I can sense that. Understanding this has been the most important part of my growth as a teacher and educator.” Music is often seen as a talent reserved for the naturally gifted, but in reality, it’s a skill that can be developed with the right guidance. The ability to learn and grow in music isn’t about perfection from the start—it’s about embracing mistakes, building confidence, and understanding the structure behind what makes music work. The key lies in developing a “zone of possibility” just beyond one’s current abilities, allowing for continuous progress. With the right approach, even someone who has struggled with music their entire life can unlock the joy of playing and singing. Marina Gregorian has spent decades proving that music isn’t just for the “gifted.” Her approach focuses on rebuilding confidence in those who’ve been told they’re not musical, often turning complete beginners into capable musicians. Through passion, patience, and a deep understanding of music as a language, she helps students break through self-imposed limitations. Whether it’s recognizing patterns, training the ear, or making mistakes part of the learning process, Marina transforms the way people see their own musical potential.
