I'm a Master in Music Theory with teaching experience. If you want to learn more about music theory or pass ABRSM exam, I will be glad to help!
During our introduction lesson, my goal is to understand a bit about you - Why are you taking lessons? What do you want to improve on? Do you have specific goals you want to achieve? Do you want to take ABRSM tests (any grade)? What are you struggling with? Etc. From there, we will focus on the direction of the lessons towards your specific goals. I like to make my lessons interactive, with many teaching activities, because if the teacher’s only method is a monologue, the lessons can be boring.
I have started my musical journey when I was 6 years old, my mother taught me to play the piano. After the elementary school and Secondary music school, I enrolled at the University of Nis, Faculty of Arts, Music department. The highest academic title I have is Master of Music Theory. My study program was Music Theory and Pedagogy and my average grade was 9,46.
Currently, I am working in three different schools as a part-time teacher. In 2016, I have started to teach music theory and aural skills in Elementary music school, and general music in Public elementary school, thus my professional teaching experience is four years. Since 2018, I have been also teaching History of Music in High school. In addition, I am conducting two children's choirs in schools that I am currently working.
The theory is simply understanding how music works, intervals, scales, and chords are the basis of all music. I am a passionate lover of harmony, so I would LOVE to teach You more about chords, chords progressions, and modulations. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level student of music theory, You can always expand your knowledge, and I am here to help you. Feel free to contact me with any questions, best regards!

Jovana is the kindest teacher I have ever met. She was teaching me music theory, and now she is my Professor of music history. She is knowledgeable, her classes are very interesting and she puts a lot of love in music teaching. Everyone should have a teacher like Jovana.
