POP
Almost everything can fit into the category of popular music, so students can play any song they want. We often play movie soundtracks and famous songs from the field of pop, rock and folk. We learn to play from notes and chord symbols.
JAZZ
Students learn the basics of jazz harmony. We start with II-V-I progressions, then we add tensions (9, 11, 13, etc.) to the chords. We immediately apply the acquired basics to well-known jazz and blues standards (Autumn leaves, Fly me to the moon, etc.). We also learn proper phrasing and overall perception of rhythm, which is very important in jazz.
CLASSICAL
When teaching classical music, we work primarily to ensure that students play naturally and that the music really speaks. Gradually we learn to relax our hands and develop a quality tone. We play compositions from the Baroque, Classicism, Romanticism and 20th century.

About Me
I'm professional pianist, composer and piano teacher from the Czech Republic. I have been playing the piano for over 20 years.
Education:
I studied piano and composition at the Jaroslav Ježek jazz Conservatory in Prague. The study was focused on classical and jazz music. I have been taught by a number of excellent professors, most of all I appreciate the opportunity to study with the legendary Czech jazz pianist and composer, Karel Růžička. During my studies, I also attended other useful classes, such as drumming, solo singing, conducting, studio practice or notation programs.
Further studies:
In the years 2016 - 2020, I studied piano pedagogy at the Methodical Center at the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts in Brno. I attended classes with great professors - classical piano with prof. Alena Vlasáková, jazz with Jiří Levíček and composition with Vincenc Kummer.
Experience:
In 2017, I visited the University of North Texas - College of Music in the USA for a week, where I also attended the rehearsal of the legendary One O'Clock Lab Band. In addition to my studies, I participate in various courses (Karel Velebný's Summer Jazz Workshop, Czech Jazz Workshop with Ondřej Pivec, International Master Interpretation Courses at the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts, etc.).
As a pianist I have gone through a number of bands and orchestras, where I have played music of various genres (pop, rock, jazz, funky, gospel, worship, etc.).
I also composed an arrangement for the Czech version of the anthem of World Youth Day in Krakow 2016.
In the past, I have struggled with hand pain caused by playing the piano. For six months I had therapy sessions with an excellent music physiotherapist, Marta Nemcova, PhD., who helped me solve my health problems. I removed bad habits from my piano technique, learned about sitting, posture, practice strategy, stretching, etc. So I am able to give my students very good advice on how to prevent these problems and offer solutions.
I have 8 years of experience teaching music, I have taught at music schools and also as a private teacher. I taught 100+ students, I ran my own small private piano school in Brno, Czech republic.
