Dina Rizvic

I help serious students and emerging artists build technical confidence, creative fluency, and independent musical identity — not just pass exams.

With 20 years of musical study and 10+ years of teaching experience across Europe and the UK, I combine conservatoire-level structure with real-world industry insight.

My background includes:

• Berklee College of Music – Diploma in Contemporary Writing & Production (Summa Cum Laude)
• MA Audio Production – University of Westminster
• Hollywood Music in Media Award & LIT Music Award recipient
• University of the Arts London visiting lecturer
• Guest lecturer in Japan

I work with:

• singer-songwriters and composers developing their artistic voice
• exam and audition students (ABRSM, Trinity, Berklee, conservatories)
• dedicated beginners seeking strong technical foundations

Professional memberships: ISM | PRS | HGU | ZAMP  
Enhanced DBS Certified  

I also run an independent teaching platform called DR Music Academy, where I work with a small number of dedicated students internationally.

Lessons are taught online via Zoom using a professional audio setup.

Due to limited availability, I work with a small number of committed students each term.

Lessons are structured, personalised, and designed to build real musical independence.
