Award Winning Educator w/ over 12 yrs of teaching experience

Anni K.

Hello there! I am a pianist, music educator and teacher, currently offering private jazz- and classical piano lessons, as well as general academic studies, in Los Angeles’ beautiful Arts District and Online. I hold a Master’s Degree in Composition from USC, a Master’s Degree in Jazz Performance and Improvisation from the prestigious Norwegian Academy of Music and a 4-year Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz- and Classical Piano Performance and Music Pedagogy from Norwegian Academy of Science and Technology. In addition I possess a Qualified Teacher Status in the UK (awarded by the Department of Education) and a TEFL Certification.

I have taught beginner students and advanced learners for more that a decade, and I have had the pleasure to teach piano to children as young as 4 year old as well as adult learners. I have taught hundreds of students in Ireland, UK, Finland, Norway and Iceland and received glowing feedback from students and parents alike.

I deliver goal oriented and intensive lessons for those who want to deepen their knowledge of various music styles and achieve high proficiency in piano performance. I am equally happy to work with students who are discovering music for the first time, are in the process of finding their own voice or just play for the fun of it! I truly believe that music can (and should!) be learned by anyone.

My background in education is not limited to music and I am equally inspired to teach English, Mathematics and Physics. I am fluent in four Nordic languages (Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish and Icelandic) and have lived most of my life in Finland, Norway and Iceland. If you are curious about any of the languages and eager to learn the basics don’t hesitate to get in touch! There is so much beauty, simplicity and raw power to be explored and discovered about the ancient languages of the Vikings! If you have been waiting to pick up a new language to dabble in, this is your extraordinary chance!
