.......Ana is also passionate about teaching. She was the baroque strings coach at the inaugural edition of the Novi Sad Baroque Academy, where she presented a mixture of teaching methods incorporated with historically informed performance practice. In October of 2021 she joined the Herne Hill Music Studio in London as one of their tutors. She enjoys teaching students of all levels and ages, and is always willing to exchange knowledge, seeking new exciting and productive ways of learning. She has explored educational psychology, as well as Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique, visualization and different teaching schools. Having studied 2nd-study piano at her music college as a compulsory requirement, she is able to guide children to take ABRSM graded piano music exams too. The students’ happiness, acquisition of new knowledge and musical improvement are the most important things to her. Diana Cummings, the LRAM programme supervisor at the Royal Academy of Music in London, said: “Ana gave a detailed and very well-presented analysis of the baroque viola, the comparison with modern viola and how it could be taught. You have a very analytical mind and think through all the elements of teaching effectively and constructively. You are a most promising teacher, and you are exploring your potential with great enthusiasm. Well done.” ...

I am a 17 year old student in sixth form, and I take part in singing lessons myself. I've been going to singing lessons for 5 years, and also regularly attend multiple choirs in my school. I have also done duets and performed live multiple times in school concerts (my most recent performance was as a backing singer for my friend who won a song writing competition and performed it live for the Mayor of Ealing in a celebration assembly - for anyone interested, the song is on Spotify: it is called You've Changed by Erin O'Sullivan).

-Learn how to breathe efficiently, ease vocal cord tension, and discover resonant, healthy, singing!

-Musicality and singing in tune can be learned! It's not about "natural talent".
-Language coaching: French, Italian, German, Spanish, Nordic languages. Lessons taught in English, Italian or French. - I am positive, enthusiastic and want to help you sound and feel your best. It's about process - helping you find your way to improve your confidence, musical skills, and enjoyment.
ABOUT ME:
Art Dip, Opera Dip, BMus (all Honours). I am Canadian, living and teaching from home in West London. I taught voice at the University of Western Ontario and coached at Universities of Toronto, British Columbia and Montreal, and the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto), as well as at Tapestry New Opera, Soundstreams Canada and the Canadian Music Centre. Some of my students have gone on to perform at major opera houses, theatre festivals and professional choirs, while some have gained the confidence to sing a solo at their local church or community event. Some have completed their ABRSM or Trinity exams, or auditioned for conservatoire/university, which I help prepare them for. Seeing my students shine (both on stage and off) fills me with humble pride and fulfillment. We will strive to find the authentic version of your voice, which is important in ANY style of music we sing. You want to sound like YOU, right? This is how an audience connects with you, with music, and what you're trying to communicate. It's the secret behind successful singing and I know the way to get you there.

Welcome to our piano course! I am a Doctor of Performance from the Royal college of music , dedicated to providing high-quality music education for every student. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced music enthusiast, our courses are designed to meet your needs.

We offer personalized lesson plans that blend classical pieces with modern popular music, allowing you to learn in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. With professional guidance and ample practice, you will master playing techniques and enhance your musical understanding. Join us to embark on your musical journey, let your fingers dance on the keys, and create your own melodies!

I believe lessons should be first and foremost enjoyable, but also serve as a means to break new ground and inspire as much practice as possible at home! So we'll start by establishing an objective of the student's choice that reflects their ambitions, and then work through the appropriate techniques, exercises, and repertoire that allows us to get there in as enjoyable a way as possible!

Lessons will be supplemented with listening/aural exercises, music theory training, and performance/contextual discussions (if necessary!).
