About me

Classical Music has been a part of my life since early childhood. Discovering an old upright Piano in my Grandmother’s room helped form my future path in a musical career.

Playing since I was seven years old, I eventually went on to study Piano at the Brno Conservatory in the Czech Republic. I have studied under the fantastic Russian teacher Inna Aslamas. This helped me develop my playing skills and provided me with a very valuable and deeper understanding of music. I graduated in 2007, obtaining a diploma of music which qualifies me to teach professionally in Music Schools.

Being interested in the latest teaching methods, I also took a one year course in Current trends in piano pedagogy at the Educational-Methodical Center in Janacek Academy of music and Performing Arts. I took this course under the guidance of renowned Professor Alena Vlasáková, who introduced me to effective teaching and playing techniques.

Although I have obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Science & Librarianship, then a Master’s Degree in Service Science, Management and Engineering; teaching Piano has always remained one of my greatest lifelong pleasures.

My Teaching History

My piano teaching career in a nutshell:

Early Beginning
2003
Brno

I started teaching back in 2003 whilst studying at the Brno Conservatory of Music. I was a teaching assistant for children and students who needed help with preparation for their lessons, end of term concerts and exams.

With aim to extend my teaching experience, I started giving private lessons in 2005 by teaching children and adults. I also worked as a tutor for university students who needed help with music theory.

After moving to the UK in 2013 I spent a few years improving my English and learning the English for certain Music terminology. After gaining a proficient level of English I resumed teaching.

In January 2018 I became part of a great team at De Rosa Music. I have been teaching Piano to dozens of students of all age groups. All of my students currently hold a 100% pass rate undertaking music exams.

My Students & Philosophy

I believe that playing an instrument helps you grow as a person since you cultivate many aspects of your psyche such as patience, listening skills, concentration,
abstract thinking, creativity and self-consciousness
. The world of music is different from the world we live in, and so is the pace. There is no age limit for getting into the world of the music, so the age range of my students is wide:
Piano lessons for pre school children
Pre-school children

Lessons consist of clapping or singing rhymes, playing easy tunes and music theory introduction to develop their basic music skills. The usual length of the lesson is 20 minutes. This is a good time to start building and improving children’s concentration abilities. Lessons are elongated once children are ready.

Piano lessons primary school
Primary School Children

The scheme of the lessons for young beginners is very similar to pre-school children depending on capabilities and playing level of each pupil. Pupils who have achieved a higher level musically may enjoy preparing for exams with renowned exam boards. The length of the lesson varies from 30 to 45 minutes.

Piano lessons for teenagers
Teenagers

Teenage players are usually divided in two groups – one is into playing Contemporary Music whilst the other is naturally following their current progress and are interested in taking higher grade exams. The recommended length of the lesson is 45 minutes.

Piano lessons for adults
Adults & Pensioners

Although I love teaching children and teenagers, I find adult players as the best learning group because they always come with a true desire to learn and play. Their great inner motivation and mature character helps to make the most of the lesson. The usual length of the lesson is 45 or 60 minutes

Testimonial

What my clients say

I am 26 years old and have recently got back into learning the piano. Initially I was concerned that my age may give an awkward air to the learning atmosphere but Anna is an excellent teacher and now a warm and jovial friend.

I started learning with Anna last November (2019) and since then have made astounding progress thanks to Anna’s help.

I am currently studying for a grade four exam and hope to continue studying higher grades in the future and with Anna leading the way I’m certain to knock it out of the park.

Not only does she make lessons enjoyable and interesting; she can tell by how I play exactly how much I’ve been practising and even how I chose to practise certain pieces. It’s extraordinary how well she can read me. I couldn’t recommend her any higher!

My Piano teaching Scheme

My Piano teaching scheme covers the topics below, which we study in different combinations in every lesson based on the pupil’s needs and abilities:

Scales

Scales play a crucial role when it comes to the development of technical skills and understanding music. They are included in the lesson once the pupil is ready.

Playing chords

After playing scales, students follow with playing chords (broken chords, arpeggios…). Learning chords also gives a better understanding of music.

Pieces

The main part of the lessons is playing pieces from the lesson book that the pupil has chosen to learn from. Even beginners use both hands right from the start.

Music Theory

I include elements of Music Theory at all levels when teaching piano. Pupils will have their own theory book that we will work with alongside playing pieces.

Rhythm Exercises

Feeling the rhythm is integral to playing smoothly, thereby rhythm exercises are a natural part of Piano Lessons. For example: Clapping, Counting Aloud, Supporting Rhythmic sounds when playing etc..

Sight reading

Sight reading skills play a significant role when it comes to learning a new piece. It also helps to get into playing with a deeper understanding of how melodies flow and change across different pieces.

Listening Skills

All pupils (especially young children) are encouraged to sing (e.g. main melody) while playing piano as singing’s proven to improve the quality of the performance and listening skills.

Other exercises

Following the needs of each student, I often create my own set of exercises in lessons that improve a pupil’s playing technique, musical expression, creativity or improvisation skills.
