Learn to play to decipher scores and improvise by ear or by reading and analyzing chord charts. This course will adapt to your level of play: simple harmonies for beginners and more complex depending on the degree of mastery of the instrument. This course also includes a thorough introduction to harmony.

Are you a beginner?? No worries: no experience is required! 😁
I can teach you the basics to produce sounds with your saxophone: position of the embouchure (teeth, tongue, lips and vocal cords' position, an element often forgotten), fingerings, use of diafragma,...
After the first two lessons spent on the mouthpiece and neck for the sound production, we will immediately start to play some super easy duos together to practice your capacity of listening, pay attention to the other, ear training as well. I normally use the book of Peter Wastall (titled Learn as you play) as support, but it is not mandatory. There are plenty of good books btw!

Are you an intermediate / advanced student?? I am sure you can still improve in all the basics, but on a different level. I'll teach you the importance of the "voicing" (technique named by the american saxophonist and pedagogue Donald Sinta) to improve your sound production and projection as well as the capacity of correcting and improving the intonation. You can learn all about phrasing and music interpretation, from tonal music until contemporary atonal compositions. And still, you can improve your playing together, practicing in duo on different aspects like tuning, balance, interpretation, performance etc.

Book a lesson and try! If you are not happy, give me a feedback and go on. If you are happy, I will be happy to help you becoming a good musician!

Each lesson will be tailored to the individual pupil’s needs, level, and style. I teach a wide variety of musical styles including Classical, Celtic, Pop, Jazz, and more!

This class is for students of any age who wish to learn the transverse flute.

Learning an instrument takes time and commitment, but it's hugely rewarding - and it doesn't have to be boring! I have experience teaching students of all age and levels and I specialise in tailoring my teaching to meet the individual needs of each student.

Beginner flute lessons are suitable for students learning from scratch or those already playing up to about ABRSM Grade 2 level. In beginner flute lessons, you will learn the fundamentals of making a sound and play your first notes, as well as the basics of reading music. As lessons progress, you will learn your first short pieces and maybe even prepare for graded exams.

Intermediate lessons are suitable for students already playing at about ABRSM Grade 3 to Grade 5 levels. In these lessons, you will build on what you already know to expand your abilities on the flute. You will learn more about different musical styles and techniques and develop more confidence to express yourself through music.

Advanced lessons are for students already playing at about ABRSM Grade 6 and beyond. Depending on each student, lessons could involve growing more skills to take the advanced grade or diploma exams exams through to learning the skills to put together a recital programme or prepare for a music college audition. There is wide scope in these lessons to focus on your areas of interest, while still keeping an eye on the solid foundations of good flute technique and musicianship.

Learn to play the flute with an internationally performing concert artist. Lessons are designed for motivated beginners, advanced students, and adults seeking serious musical development.

You will develop tone quality, professional breath control, technique, musical ear, rhythm, memory, and expressive musical thinking. Lessons also contribute to intellectual development, fine motor coordination, concentration, and artistic confidence.

For beginners and younger students, lessons may begin with the recorder — a simple and effective instrument for developing breathing, articulation, coordination, and basic musical skills before transitioning to the flute. For intermediate and advanced students, professional classical flute training is offered, including repertoire development and audition preparation.

Lessons may include music reading, development of musical style and interpretation, and preparation for concerts, competitions, and auditions. Each lesson is individually tailored to the student’s level, goals, and musical background.

Lessons are available in English, Russian, and Ukrainian.

Hello! Are you interested in playing the flute or piano? Do you need help with music theory? Look no further!
I'm Tjaša and I'm a professional musician with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in flute performance.
I’ve had the joy of performing with orchestras in concert halls across Europe, working alongside talented musicians, and taking part in international competitions. These experiences have enriched my artistry and deepened my love for teaching and performing.

My lessons are personalised, engaging and designed to make learning music an exciting and rewarding journey.

In addition to flute I also teach piano and offer training in solfeggio (music theory, rhythm, and ear-training skills), giving students a well-rounded musical foundation.

I'm excited to meet you!

I offer recorder and/or music theory lessons, tailored to each student's needs. You can choose to focus on the instrument, deepen your musical understanding through music theory, or combine both for a comprehensive learning experience. For recorder, we work on breath control, fingering, articulation, posture, interpretation of early and contemporary repertoire, ornamentation, improvisation, and more. For music theory, I adapt my method to your level: reading notes and rhythms, listening skills, identifying intervals, fundamental harmonics, and understanding musical language. My approach is dynamic, supportive, and structured, always attentive to the student's pace and interests.

I have dedicated my life to the performance, study and teaching of music.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to receive a solid education, participate in various musical projects, and perform on different stages around the world, which has allowed me to develop a complete and practical vision of the musical world.

This experience not only enriches my playing, but also my teaching style: I apply my own methodology that adapts each class to the student's needs, combining musicality and enjoyment from day one.
