I'm an award-winning singer-songwriter and pianist whose music touches the depths of the soul, leaving a lasting impression. With over 15 years of experience teaching piano, songwriting, and vocal techniques, I founded the Margarita Shamrakova Music School to nurture the talents of aspiring musicians. From my upbringing in Ukraine to my vibrant life in New York City, my diverse cultural background shapes my unique approach to music education. Drawing from my success in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition and collaborations with industry giants, I offer comprehensive lessons covering everything from song creation to music theory. Whether teaching in the comfort of your home or group settings, I provide a supportive space where you can freely express yourself and discover your inner spirit. With a passion for unlocking the potential of each student, I'm dedicated to guiding you toward greatness in music. Recently I have performed in Lincoln Center in Ritual of Breath opera.

Throughout my coaching experience, I have focused on delivering personalized instruction that meets each athlete’s unique goals and skill level. I design structured yet adaptable lesson plans that strengthen fundamentals, refine advanced techniques, and build game intelligence. Beyond physical development, I emphasize confidence, discipline, and a strong understanding of the game that makes for qualities that help players succeed both on and off the field. I saw 7 of the kids I coached play DI baseball and one get drafted - 13th round of the 2025 MLB draft.

I run six pickleball sessions a week for my local church to raise money, combining my love for the game with a commitment to community service. My journey with paddle sports began as a kid, but it was in 2015, introduced to pickleball by my dad, that I truly found my passion. I fell in love with the game not only for its excitement but also for the positive social aspects it brings. Pickleball has a unique way of building connections and fostering a supportive community, and I strive to share that experience with others. Whether you're a newcomer or looking to improve your skills, I'm here to help you enjoy the game and be part of the amazing pickleball community.

I started swinging a tennis racquet at the age of 13 hitting a wall and getting fascinated while watching the major tournaments on TV with my dad and instantly falling in love with the sport! Fast forward, had the opportunity to play college level for NCAA II Division and the honor of serving as the team captain. Today, my love for the sport still grows as I play on a regular basis, participating in local tournaments and events, as I'm equally excited of sharing this fondness to other enthusiast people out there. I’m very eager to share the core techniques and personal strategies I've honed over the years to get you hitting like you’ve never hit before! Let's tailor your tennis journey to bring out your best game and form!!

"One of the best basketball training experiences I’ve had. Coach Teek brings great energy, attention to detail, and a real understanding of the game. Every workout is challenging but purposeful, focusing on improving skills, footwork, shooting, and overall confidence on the court. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping players get better.
