Ana Marija Petrovic
About
I am a Professional Harpist from Serbia, with over 5 years of experience in teaching, 25 years of playing and lots of other experiences like orchestra playing, contests, competitions etc. I know and love learning languages, Serbian, Italian, English, bit of Hungarian, German.. It is always good to learn and become some form of art, the act feeds your soul with positive energy which in this century we lack. I love every form of art this one- music is my most favorite. I have been playing Harp since I was 7 years old, before that I played the piano and been a ballerina for a few years. I also have learned opera solo singing, have elementary school finished in that area. It is very difficult to learn a new skill but every great thing that is hard means that it is worth waiting and being patient for because at the end when you see and feel the result of your learning you become a different person, someone with new knowledge and experience. Which nobody can take away it is only yours, you can always get back to it at any time and any age. Music is good for developing and maintaining your Brain in good shape. Music is directly connected to language and mathematics, so by playing an instrument no matter what level you are you are actually developing new skills for life.
Teaching Style
My teaching methods is very adaptable it depends on a student. Every students has different knowledge and different curiosity about this instrument. The level of engagement is important so I adapt my lessons towards students.
Curriculum
My lessons will contain teaching you how to play the Harp on any level. From Basic to professional. Harp lesson learning proper technique, musical expression and will also include if needed theory of music, solfeggio and Harp History of music
