About Martina

I am a keen music teacher and performer based in London. I trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, and obtained my Specialist Diploma from the Prague Conservatoire. I am a trained flute player, but also enjoy teaching piano and music theory. Curious about different musical traditions, I perform classical music, Brazilian music, jazz and original music. I am passionate about helping students of all abilities access music. I have experience teaching all ages, and enjoy helping my students achieve their musical goals and discover their creative potential. I have worked for several music schools, currently Young Music Makers in London. I taught sessions at the International School of Prague and International School of Music and Fine Arts Prague, and prepared students for performances and competitions as part of the Czech music education system. These days, I split my time between teaching, practising, performing, and recording activities. I have been training and performing with Rhythms of the City samba band, with whom we have recently performed at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. I lead my own band Aquarela specialised in Brazilian music. We have recently performed at Dona Bar in Stoke Newington or at the Hide Tide Festival 2022. Thanks to my university, I have had the privilege to perform in jazz bands alongside artists like Julian Joseph, Joe Stilgoe, Tim Garland, Ivo Neame, or Iain Ballamy. As an orchestral player, I have toured all over Europe with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra (BBC Blue Planet II Tour 2019, including concerts for 10K audiences), the Czech National Symphony Orchestra (UK Tour 2018, including venues like Cadogan Hall, Bridgewater Hall or Birmingham Symphony Hall) and the Pilsen Philharmonic (Harry Potter 3 Tour 2019). I performed a whole season of the Phantom of the Opera production in Prague. I have played in numerous opera and ballet productions with the North Bohemian Theatre, including master pieces like Nabucco, Aida, The Bartered Bride, The Barber of Seville, Peer Gynt, or Swan Lake. I have played symphonic performances with the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Pardubice, Talich Philharmonia, and contemporary music with the Berg Orchestra. In the UK, I have had the pleasure to play with the Southampton Philharmonic Society, World Harmony Orchestra, Les Fauristes Chamber Choir and Orchestra, or Adoramus Orchestra (Royal Albert Hall 2017).
