MY MUSIC EXPERIENCES IN POLAND...


Hello Everyone! I just came back from Poland, where I had chance to participate in concert " International Music Day " held by Music School in Koscian. During this event I met teachers from my school and I am enclosing few pictures from this event. You can find here photos of me with my voice and music hearing education teacher, Ewa Zuber as well as with my piano teacher, Janina Perkowska.
Of course, I brought with me lots of music notes!! So - my students - be prepared for new pieces!!

THIS FALL I AM GOING TO VISIT MY MUSIC SCHOOL IN POLAND!!!


Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to announce that this Fall I am going to Poland, Europe. One of the main purpose of this trip is to visit my Music School in my hometown - Koscian. I will meet not only with my piano teacher, who I admire very much, but also with other music teachers (voice, music theory, listening).
I am sure they will help me with improving my way of teaching here, in Calgary as I am planning to bring lots of new notes and music books - mainly for my students!!!
Wait for some pictures from this trip!!!
Sincerely,
Ania

FEW WORDS FROM PIANO GALLERY IN CALGARY...

I had the pleasure of meeting Ania for the first time when she came into my store looking for a digital piano.
We discussed her immediate needs and then I asked her to try the instruments we had available. When Ania started to play I was absolutely amazed at her ability to play the classics. I have been in the business for over 35 years and have had many teachers in my store. Very few can play. I totally respect a person like Ania because she has kept up her technique and playing where most never do. My idea of a great teacher is one who can sit down and play any piece of music at anytime do demonstrate how it should be played.....and Ania is one who can definitely do this.
I have recommended customers of mine to contact Ania as a teacher because I know she has the passion and ability to train children and adults alike how to play and enjoy the piano properly.
Congratulations Ania on you musical accomplishments and all the best in your musical career no matter what avenue you pursue. I have no doubt you will accomplish what ever you desires are in life.
I am honored to now be your friend as well as a musical friend. Canada and Calgary are blessed to have wonderful people like you to come here and be part of our cultural fabric.

TESTIMONIALS...

When our teenage daughter decided she wanted to learn piano, we knew what type of teacher and lessons we were looking for.  Ania met with us in order to answer any questions and to allow us to see where our daughter would be having her lessons.  After Ania outlined her background and teaching methods, we believed she would be a great fit for our daughter.  In particular, we liked that Ania took our wants and needs into consideration when planning Katherine’s lesson plans.  Katherine thoroughly enjoys her lessons and looks forward to them every week and we are very impressed with the quality of teaching Ania has provided.  We highly recommend Ania as a piano teacher and hope to continue working with her for a long time.

Ania has been teaching me piano for just over two months.  She makes it fun to learn, even things like scales!  Ania works with me on theory and makes sure I understand what we are discussing before moving on to the next thing.  I really enjoy being able to pick my own music, both contemporary and classical.  I never thought I would be able to play an instrument since I have a very poor sense of rhythm, but Ania has proven me wrong, and I can even use both hands at the same time!  I love my lessons!
