Jovana

I`m a classically trained composer and active jazz and world music performer, with several years of experience in teaching across all age ranges and covering a variety of music styles.

I teach classical and contemporary piano and pop styles/jazz singing through ABRSM and Trinity grade systems, music theory including harmony and counterpoint, composition, music production ( including use of Logic and Ableton music software ). I have produced and composed two music releases of my own and are currently working as a freelance producer with Berwick Street Studios. One of my more commercial music production releases features artist Julia Zelg.

I hold a bachelor degree in composition from the Music Faculty in Belgrade, Serbia and PhD in electroacoustic music composition from University of East Anglia, UK. I`ve been trained as a classical pianist and singer through my primary and secondary music education.

Concerts are organised regularly and all of my pupils perform at least twice a year.

Availability: Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please note that I teach in my studio at Soho over the weekend and are available to teach from home in Sydenham and Beckenham area on Thursdays and Fridays.

Willing to travel: 1 miles

Experience: My 15 year work experience as a tutor encompass preparation fro exams, as well as providing training for live performances and auditions. All of my students so far have passed all of their exams, and several of them are studying for music degrees. I accompany all of my singing students myself and at least twice a year I provide an opportunity for all of my students to perform live in front of an audience. Being an active performer myself, with 2 - 3 concerts a month plus touring with my own music compositions I believe live performance is essential to encourage and inspire love for music. My ensemble ArHai was generously supported by the Arts Council of England ( Grants for the Arts 2012 ). I also compose music for the feature and documentary movies, theatre, as well as works for classical ensembles.
