Under the direction of Valery Kastelsky, he received his Ph.D. from the Tchaikovsky National Conservatory of Music in 1999.
 
In April 1995, Andrey Shibko won the 19th D'Angelo International Artists Competition in Erie (Pennsylvania, USA), which was the first international award for his piano performances. Committee Chairman Sam Rotman said: "He played Liszt’s The First Piano Concerto in E major has an amazing expressiveness..." "If a competition can discover a unique genius, it is a huge success."
 
Pianist Andrey Shibko not only has an outstanding personal accomplishment in the piano field, he is also committed to imparting piano skills to the students.

The master's explanation is very in place, and the children's lack of performance has been guided, so that everyone benefits.
 
The pianist Andrey Shibko's lectures are professional and fun. He can always tell you the piano learning knowledge and skills that were difficult to understand in the very easy-to-understand words. The wonderful lecture of the pianist also won a round of applause from everyone.
 
Piano master Andrey Shibko speaks with great enthusiasm: To improve the skills of piano performance and the ability to interpret the emotions of music, the most important thing is to learn more and listen to more experience. While listening to the music, according to the creative background and style of the music, students need to grasp the basic structure and rhythm of the music. Despite being a professional piano master, Andrey Shibko has shown a consistent affinity and sense of humor in his interactions with the piano children.
