Piano Lessons, Music Theory Lessons & Ear Training in Indianapolis

Sophia Gorlin is a Ukrainian-educated musician with 30+ years’ experience teaching piano lessons, music theory lessons, and ear training to students in the Ukraine and in the United States.

Mrs. Gorlin maintains a home piano studio in North Indianapolis where she teaches piano, music theory, and ear training lessons to students of all ages and levels. Her lessons are largely informed by her deep knowledge of the European musical education system, and many of her students have won piano competitions under her tutelage.

In addition to her teaching activities, Mrs. Gorlin has authored works on music-related topics throughout her career. Most recently she published a series of works on Dmitri Shostakovich in the DSCH Journal (Nos. 27–29); these and other articles by Mrs. Gorlin can be accessed from her Music Criticism page. Mrs. Gorlin’s current writing project is a music theory textbook targeted at pre-college students of all levels and drawn largely from the unique materials she has developed for her students over the years. The book is intended to supplement the “Russian School of Piano Playing” piano method. Sample lessons from the theory book can be found here.
