Bio _________________

I have over 9 years of experience teaching beginning to advance level of piano students and teaching music in general.
I was born and raised in Serbia (former Yugoslavia). My music education started when I was 9 years old.

Comparatively with Elementary School,
I completed 6 years of my primary music education and 4 years of Music high School at Music School "Miloje Milojevic" in Kragujevac, Serbia.
After I graduated with the Master Degree of General Music Pedagogue from the Music University in Serbia, I moved to Los Angeles, where I am working and living now.
____________________
Teaching piano and music, for me, is more than a job. It's the greatest responsibility and an Art Form.
With music I train little minds to explore, to develop imagination and creativity to investigate, to discover , to love and to enjoy playing piano.
It is very important to me to be as effective and successful teacher as possible, both for the education of my students and for my own professional and personal growth.
