Natalie Ter-Agapova dreamed of becoming a musician from her early childhood, beginning music lessons at age 3. At age 15, she graduated with honors in the piano and vocal divisions of the Shostakovich School of Music in Moscow.

In 2007, Natalie began teaching private vocal, piano and music theory lessons for children. During this time she also began her work as a choral conductor with a group of 4-7 year olds. In two years time, she transformed this small ensemble into a nationally recognized chorus Velikan, from which two of her students become finalists of the popular TV show “VOICE-kids” in Russia.

In 2010, Natalie began her pedagogical studies at Moscow State Teacher’s University and congruently worked in the public school system as a music teacher.

In 2017, Natalie moved to Brooklyn, New York where she worked as a piano teacher, vocal coach and choral conductor. She has served as a judge on several panels and committees for competitions and festivals, and has also performed as a soloist and member of the folk music group Russian Beauty in international festivals and contests in the United States, Russia, Spain, Slovakia, Serbia, and China.

Natalie is a true teacher, with a heart of service and and deep desire to share the joy of music with her students. She combines her extensive knowledge of music with a deep understanding of her students' individual needs in order to help them achieve their musical dreams.

Natalie moved to San Francisco in August of 2019 to bring her experience & passion to the MMS team. Her primary goal is to inspire her students to enjoy music as much as she does!
