My story...

I am Ludmila, a classically trained pianist. I studied piano and music theory for a long, fourtheen years back in Europe, Slovakia, were I come from.

I have been teaching beginners and advanced piano students in schools and in my private practice for a long twenty years now. During this time I have specialized in piano qualifications wich I offer to all my students after some time playing and learning to play piano with me.

I believe we all have the capacity to play and learn at the same time, either a song we love or a wide range of songs as a part of a piano qualification performance.

Why choose a piano qualification?

There is a little story I want to share with you.

When I arrived in the UK back in 2005, I had a great desire to share my passion and teach piano here. I was told I can not have such a job because I was a foreiner. But I had high hopes...

First interview came up and I was introduced as Russian by our arrival. 

I did not mind as I was so excited to get this done and get my dream job. I had  fourteen Slovakian diplomas translated into English to show and prove my piano qualification.

Sadly, none of these papers were accepted by a lady having me interwied as my country had different, not comparable education to the English.

I was rejected...

Leaving the shop sadly, where my uncessesful interview had taken place, I could not resist to play on one of the pianos beautifuly standing in a row for people to buy. Playing on only big acoustic pianos back in Europe, I had never seen electric pianos before. In spite of hating performances, I had to have a go...

I only fidled a little melodies remembered from my piano practise and...

There I was, questioned, when can I start to teach!?

I got my dream job! 🙂

Since I have taught and helped many of my students to gain piano qualifications.

I have chosen the ABRSM as one of the best boards in UK which I work with and get my students qualified with. 

I offer a piano qualification to all my students who have learnt and played piano for a while and are ready to take their piano playing in another level.

Everyone can be 'piano qualified'!
