About Us

Maya’s History

MUSIC ACADEMY FOR YOUNG ARTISTS (MAYA) is an association dedicated to nurturing and supporting young talented musicians, empowering them to reach their full creative potential. Our mission is to create a platform where aspiring young artists can connect with esteemed professors from around the world, share musical traditions, and explore innovative approaches to teaching and performing music.

At MAYA, we offer a wide range of activities and programs designed to enhance the musical journey of our students. From daily tutoring sessions to organizing Master Classes, Concerts, Festivals, and competitions, we provide a comprehensive learning experience that fosters growth and artistic experiences.

 

Our Philosophy

At the core of MAYA’s philosophy is the belief that artistry must be fostered and nurtured in every music student from the very beginning of their studies. Thus a student learns to connect music theory and music history.

Maya's Principle

While we pride ourselves on our commitment to the highest standards of technical excellence, we believe that it is equally important for a young musician to have a theoretical, historical and emotional understanding of music.

Key Of Success

Our goal is to offer a theory education at a level where all students will have enough knowledge to enter professional conservatories and music universities, should they so choose.

Maya Association has established a leading center for theoretical studies of music in Geneva. Our center aims to provide a comprehensive learning experience for individuals interested in music theory, musical history, and harmony. We offer weekly lessons in various locations throughout Geneva, covering a wide range of topics such as theory, harmony, music history, composition, improvisation, and choir singing.

 

 

 

Music is more than just entertainment; it nourishes the human brain and encapsulates the formulas of thinking, existence, and harmony. It awakens our creative abilities and fosters a deeper understanding of the world around us.

Led by Dmitry Rasul Kareyev, a renowned clarinet soloist of the OSR and founding director of the Soloist Academy in France, and Eugenia Pilyavina, the artistic director of Maya Association and highly experienced piano educator, our center ensures the highest quality of teaching. Inspired by the success of the Soloist Academy Junior, a youth music festival conducted by Dmitry and Evgenia, we have created a space where theoretical knowledge and practical skills intertwine.
