About Joanna
My name is Joanna, and I began playing the cello and piano at the age of seven. I made my solo debut at the age of twelve, performing Goltermann’s Concerto in G major. Since then, I have appeared in concerts and festivals around the world as a concerto soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician.
Since 2015, I have been a member of the Bukolika Piano Trio, with whom I have enjoyed several significant international successes. I studied with Christoph Richter at the Royal Academy of Music, supported by a scholarship from the Clumber Studio. I completed my PhD in January 2020, and in 2022 I released my debut album, Kaija Saariaho – Works for Cello. The album received five diapasons from Diapason and a nomination for the International Classical Music Award in 2022.
I am currently an Assistant Cello Teacher at the Academy of Music in Kraków, a cello teacher at Wadsworth Music Academy, and an active private tutor. Alongside my performing and teaching career, I have a strong interest in music therapy and pedagogy and am currently completing my qualifications to become a counsellor. My particular area of research and interest is the impact of emotional distress on performers and performance.

Languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I offer individual music lessons in cello, piano, and music theory for children and adults. I have a 100% pass rate for ABRSM and Trinity exams, but I’m also happy to teach students who are learning for enjoyment rather than graded exams.
Lessons are usually weekly during term time, and I provide a simple contract to ensure everything is clear and straightforward for both teacher and student. My aim is to create a supportive, enjoyable, and structured learning environment tailored to each student’s goals and pace.
Whether you are starting out or preparing for exams, I’d love to help you develop your musical skills and confidence.
Contact me to discuss lessons, availability, and rates.
Tutoring Experience:
- Pedagogical Course
- Master Degree (cello)
- PhD degree in music
- Bachelor degree (cello & piano)
- Over 15 years of teaching experience in cello, piano and music theory with 100% rate (entrance exams, ABRSM and Trinity exams)
Tutoring Approach:
My aim when teaching beginners, across all the music subjects I offer, is to spark a genuine joy for music-making. From the very first lesson, I focus on building a solid technical foundation that will allow you—or your child—to progress confidently and correctly.
For more advanced students, my teaching emphasises refining technique and exploring a diverse and challenging repertoire, helping each student develop their unique musical voice.
I also incorporate basic music theory and music history into my lessons, as I firmly believe that a well-rounded musical education enriches both understanding and performance.
