About
SPECIAL DEAL FOR ABRSM MUSIC THEORY PREPARATION! Hi, I'm a Master in Music Theory with teaching experience. If you want to learn more about music theory or pass the ABRSM exam, I will be glad to help You! IMPORTANT: Please, contact me before you book a trial lesson!
I started my musical journey when I was 6 years old; my mother taught me to play the piano. I have studied at the University of Nis, Faculty of Arts, Music department. I completed undergraduate academic studies of the first cycle in 2016, at the study program General Music Pedagogy. The highest academic title I have is a Master in Music Theory. After undergraduate studies, I enrolled in a master's academic studies at the same university. My study program was Music Theory and Pedagogy, and I completed it with an average grade of 9,46.
Currently, I am working in three different schools as a part-time teacher. Soon after the end of my undergraduate academic studies, in 2016, I started to teach piano, music theory, and aural skills in Elementary music schools, and general music in public elementary schools, thus my professional teaching experience is four years. Since 2018, I have also been teaching History of Music in High school. Besides, I am conducting two children's choirs in schools where I am currently working.
Teaching Style
IMPORTANT: Please, contact me before you book a lesson!
If you want to learn more about music theory, improve your piano playing or pass the ABRSM exam, I will be glad to help You! During our introduction lesson, my goal is to understand a bit about you - Why are you taking lessons? What do you want to improve on? Do you have specific goals you want to achieve? Do you want to take ABRSM tests (any grade)? What are you struggling with? Etc. From there, we will focus on the direction of the lessons towards your specific goals. I like to make my lessons interactive, with many teaching activities, because if a teacher’s only method is a monologue, the lessons can be boring. I am passionate about music education and it is important to me that lessons are both enjoyable and enforce positive learning tools and discipline.
The theory is simply understanding how music works, intervals, scales, and chords are the basis of all music. I am a passionate lover of harmony, so I would LOVE to teach You more about chords, chords progressions, and modulations. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level student of music theory, You can always expand your knowledge, and I am here to help you. Feel free to contact me with any questions, best regards!

First time having a go at Czerny techniques and really enjoyed it. As Jovana said I understand what I have to do, I just have to practice it and I'll get it.
