Anna Panova
About
I am a russian pianist with international experience. I've already started studying the piano with my mother, who is also a professional pianist, at the age of five. I have finished the study of Classical Piano at the Moscow Academy of Music in Russia and the Graz Music University in Austria. During that time I have successfully participated in many international musical competitions and master classes with much respected musicians. Right now I am living in Vienna, the home of Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert and many others. I am playing the piano in a musical theater and giving lessons to my piano students.
Teaching Style
I am speaking and giving lessons in the russian, german and english language. I have a 12 year experience in teaching children from five years old, but also adults. I'd like to share my knowledge I've collected as a student, teacher and professional pianist with people that want to learn playing the piano or want to improve their playing. The pillars of my lessons are to help you to improve your technical skills and site reading, but also to get a good feeling for different styles of music. I can help you to learn pieces for joy or for music exams.
