I am 22 years old, I am studying Piano at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève, in the class of pianist and pedagogue Sylviane Deferne, I give PIANO lessons at home in Geneva.

I have 14 years of instrumental practice. Certificate of End of Piano Music Studies obtained, with highest honors, at the Regional Conservatory of Boulogne-Billancourt (and CFEM obtained also in Solfege, honors).

I also studied for 3 years at the Russian Conservatory in Paris, Serge Rachmaninov, and graduated in June 2016, after having obtained the "TB +" mention on the "Superior 3" exam.

This allowed me, after a teaching received from teachers from the French school to tap into the tradition of the Russian piano school.

Awards received at numerous music competitions (Claude Kahn: "Superior" level; 1st Prize at the Resonances International competition: in the "Excellence" level in 2014, and 1st Prize in the "Concert Diploma" level in 2015, 1st medal at the unanimity of the jury at the international competition of Brest).

I had the chance to follow master classes of masters such as Konstantin Lifschitz, Jacques Rouvier, Chantal Riou, Denis Pascal or Romano Pallottini (with whom I had the chance to work a lot in private lessons)


PROGRAM

I will adapt to the needs of each student, it is a real duty to transmit the maximum to students who wish.
I consider pedagogy as a great source of inspiration and personal enrichment.

I will combine requirement and flexibility, the goal not to dissuade the student to practice the instrument, but on the contrary to find the nature of the problem encountered, and then solutions adapted to the morphology and abilities of the student .


I use a playful and pictorial approach.

About Me
I am 22 years old, and study piano at the University of Music of Geneva, in the class of pianist and teacher Sylviane Deferne. I give PIANO lessons at home in Geneva.

I also studied for 3 years at the Russian Conservatory in Paris, Serge Rachmaninov, and graduated in June 2016, after having obtained the "TB +" mention on the "Superior 3" exam.

This allowed me, after teaching received from teachers from the French school, to draw on the tradition of the Russian piano school.

Awards received at numerous music competitions (Claude Kahn: "Superior" level; 1st Prize at the Resonances International competition: in the "Excellence" level in 2014, and 1st Prize in the "Concert Diploma" level in 2015, 1st medal at the unanimity of the jury at the international competition of Brest).

COURSE PROGRAM:

I will adapt to the needs of each student. It is a real duty to transmit the maximum to the students who wish it.
I consider pedagogy as a great source of inspiration and personal enrichment.

I will work with the student on ease on the piano. The posture, the use of the arm, elbow, wrist, to produce the richest sound.
The goal is to forget, when you listen, that the piano is a hammer instrument (and yes, the piano is not a "percussive" instrument, sound metallic and dry! :)), and therefore develop the ability to produce a line of singing. The pianist must produce a singer's sound.

I will combine requirement and flexibility, the goal not to dissuade the student to practice the instrument, but on the contrary to find the nature of the problem encountered, and then solutions adapted to the morphology and abilities of the student .

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the position of Music Teacher. With more than twenty five years of experience in music education, performance, and artistic development, I bring a deep passion for teaching and a holistic approach to music as both a discipline and a form of personal expression.

Throughout my career, I have worked with students of different ages, levels, and cultural backgrounds, supporting them in building strong technical skills while encouraging creativity, confidence, and emotional connection to music. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that music education should inspire curiosity and joy, alongside structure, discipline, and artistic integrity.

In addition to my teaching work, I am an active musician whose compositions and performances have reached an international audience through platforms such as SoundCloud. Listener feedback consistently highlights the emotional depth, originality, and atmospheric quality of my music, often describing it as expressive, cinematic, and deeply moving. This ongoing interaction with a global audience enriches my teaching, allowing me to share real-world artistic experience with my students and encourage them to develop their own authentic musical voice.

I have also contributed to collaborative artistic projects, including volunteer work composing and creating music for the Geneva theatre production Monolog 2020. This experience strengthened my ability to work in interdisciplinary environments and deepened my understanding of how music supports storytelling, stage performance, and emotional expression.

I consider creativity an essential part of both my professional and personal life. Outside of music, I enjoy painting, which further develops my sense of color, form, and expression—elements that strongly influence my musical interpretation and teaching. I am also passionate about skiing, a sport that reflects values I bring into my work: focus, discipline, perseverance, and the ability to adapt to changing conditions with confidence and calm.

Over the years, I have developed a flexible, student-centered teaching approach, adapting methods to individual learning styles and goals. My experience includes individual and group instruction, performance preparation, and long-term artistic mentoring. I value collaboration with colleagues, clear communication with students and parents, and continuous professional growth.

I would be honored to contribute my experience, creativity, and dedication to your institution. I am confident that my background as both a teacher and an active artist would allow me to make a meaningful contribution to your educational environment.

Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my experience and teaching philosophy.

Yours sincerely,
Branislava
