Anya Aujla-Jones

My specialist knowledge of various musical genres, improvisation and theory alongside my experience performing and collaborating with professional musicians and artists heavily informs my teaching practice. My musical career includes a residency playing piano at Hyatt Regency hotel in Birmingham, as well as supporting an international body of artists - including playing in an all-women band with trending indie-folk artist Marianne Ross in Los Angeles, California. Alongside my extensive multi-genre gigging experience, I am a classically-trained pianist.

Alongside my experience of teaching one-to-one private lessons, I have extensive experience of coaching and teaching larger groups of children ranging from ages 4-16 years, in both musical and sporting contexts. A highlight of my teaching experience was when I led a choir of over 100 members (where I taught singing whilst simultaneously playing the piano). I thrive in settings where I am under pressure to maintain class engagement, promoting student understanding and learning.
